Pressed for time but still want the thrill of Namibia’s wild coast? The Pelican Point Peninsula Short Tour is the perfect half-day adventure; seals, flamingos, jackals, dunes, and shipwrecks all packed into one unforgettable journey.
"Perfect half day trip. JP met us right off the ship, took us dune driving, and then to Pelican Point where we saw flamingos, seals, and even jackals. With the lighthouse, shipwreck, and homemade snacks with bubbly, it was unforgettable. Highly recommend!"
