You can catch direct flights from CT to Walvisbay on a daily basis. Flights are rather steep, but it is worth it. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Walvis Bay just begs to be experienced by boat .... you can see the desert and the ocean better, along with the harbour and animals - such as dolphins, seals and birds. Some serious fun! You can even rent a kayak and explore the lagoon. The other options are a dolphin cruise, or a fishing expedition. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

As an attraction per se this is not much of a thing, unless you are an avid birdwatcher. But this seemingly simple little platform is a gold-mine ... not in the real sense of the word of course, but it just makes me stand in awe at what people come up with to become millionaires - and this is a success story! Many seabirds frequent the area, so someone decided to build a bird island to collect bird guano (guano - sh* - oh I don't think I can say that here ..... eeeemmmm .... poop) to be then sold as a fertiliser. For the first couple of years the birds did not really take to it but after while it seems it got cool for the birds to hang out there and leave their souveniers so the project was a success. Pity that when I was there very little birds were present ..... Leave a Comment

The Walvis bay area is a good place for birdwatching ... in season, the Walvis Bay Lagoon is full of flamingos and there are also other birds to be seen such as pelicans, herons, gulls, skuas, waders, cormorants etc. The dolphin cruises offered in Walvis bay are also a great opportunity to birdwatch, especially the pelicans and gulls. I also managed to see a young jackass penguin :-) Another interesting birdwatching point is Sandwich bay, along a 4WD only road out of Walvis Bay. It is not recommended to attempt this without a guide. Leave a Comment
