About Us

Luderitz from the Water

Come for a trip on our spacious and stable catamaran Zeepaard. We cruise to the African Penguin colony at Halifax Island — one of only a handful of penguin colonies on earth you can visit by boat, with no barriers between you and the birds.

Along the way, the cold Benguela Current delivers surprises: Heaviside's dolphins racing the bow, Cape Fur seals hauled out on the rocks, seabirds overhead, and in season, Southern Right whales breaching within camera range.

What We Offer

Our Tours

Every tour is a different story. Luderitz rewards those who look carefully.

🐧

Halifax Island Penguins

The heart of every tour. Cruise to the African Penguin colony at Halifax Island and watch them from the water, up close, with nothing in the way.

🐬

Heaviside's Dolphins

These rare dolphins are endemic to the Benguela coast. They regularly race the bow of the Zeepaard — close enough to photograph from the deck.

🦭

Cape Fur Seals

Noisy, curious and completely at home in the water. The seal colonies along the route are one of the highlights for every passenger.

🦩

Flamingo Flats

Greater and lesser flamingos feed in the shallow lagoons around Lüderitz, best seen from the water where you won't disturb them.

🐋

Seasonal Whale Watching

Southern Right Whales visit the Lüderitz coast in season. When they're here, they make an appearance on the water that stops everyone in their tracks.
