Every tour is a different story. Luderitz rewards those who look carefully.
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.
These rare dolphins are endemic to the Benguela coast. They regularly race the bow of the Zeepaard — close enough to photograph from the deck.
Noisy, curious and completely at home in the water. The seal colonies along the route are one of the highlights for every passenger.
Greater and lesser flamingos feed in the shallow lagoons around Lüderitz, best seen from the water where you won't disturb them.
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.
Cormorants, kelp gulls, terns and many other seabirds nest and feed along this coastline. A treat for birders on every departure.
