Zeepaard Boat Tours has been showing visitors the real Luderitz since the harbour was the only way in. Our catamaran takes you where the road ends: past the shipwrecks of Shark Island, through the flamingo shallows of Halifax Island, and out to where dolphins race the bow.
The cold Benguela Current that sweeps up from the Antarctic is what makes this coastline so extraordinary. It draws penguins, seals, sea birds and cetaceans in numbers that will stop you in your tracks. We've been guiding these waters for years, and we still haven't stopped being amazed.
African penguins, cape fur seals, dolphins and flamingos on every tour
Stable, comfortable and safe for all ages, even in Atlantic swells
Local knowledge you won't find in any guidebook
Every tour is a different story. Luderitz rewards those who look carefully.

The Benguela Current draws bottlenose dolphins and cape fur seals year-round. This tour is built around them.
