About this experience
This is the ‘classic’ Mola Mola cruise with an extra flare for lunch. Accompanied by dolphins, seals, pelicans, whales, fresh oysters, sparkling wine and a beach braai (BBQ) at Pelican Point Peninsula, you will have the time of your life. Having reached the splendor of the Namibian Skeleton coast, this five hour activity allows you to experience the amazing riches of our Atlantic ocean and Namibian cuisine, while enjoying the educational, fun and friendly cruise. The morning starts from the Walvis Bay Waterfront and is filled by an abundance of bird and mammal life, pelicans and seals up close and delight in the sea air, great food on the beach with fresh oysters and bubbles! Adding a tent, tables and a menu, we make it just a little fancier than your normal day on the beach. For more than two decades Mola Mola has shared this experience with thousands of guests - sharing with them the friendly hospitality Namibia is known for.

Detailed itinerary
1
You will meet the Mola Mola crew at the Mola Mola Safaris offices right on the Waterfront. From there we will take you to your boat along with our trained guide. From there, you will set sail towards Pelican Point Peninsula with multiple stops on the way to give you some interesting Namibian history. You will be greeted by pelicans, seagulls, and a few seal friends. Keep your eyes peeled, because a dolphin sighting is never impossible, and if you are really lucky, maybe even a whale. At Pelican Point Peninsula, the boats will drop you off right on the beach, where a beautiful set-up awaits with fresh Namibian oysters, sparkling wine, a delicious lunch and beverages. After enjoying lunch, you will be taken back to the starting point by boat, where your tour will conclude.
