Mola Mola Day
The Mola Mola Day allows you to enjoy all the best experiences in one, epic day! The Atlantic Ocean, the beach at Pelican Point sand Peninsula, amazing lunch occasion and the ancient, magnificent dunes of Sandwich harbour.
Starting your day on our exhilarating boat cruise, you get to meet the popular pelicans and sassy seagulls joining us on board. A friendly seal or two might pop by on the boat, and if you are really lucky, you will get to experience the wonder of dolphins swimming along in the blue ocean waters. With many surprises along the way, our experienced crew will share interesting information and anecdotes about the area.
Reaching the uninhabited Pelican Point peninsula, you will disembark direct onto the beach, where a beautiful Beach Braai (barbeque) set-up awaits. With delicious food (including Namibian crayfish, fresh oysters and beef fillet :) and breath-taking setting, you get to experience true Namibian hospitality and brilliant beach vibes with friends and family.
From the beach to ancient, ageless sand dunes! Our experienced guides and specialized 4x4’s will now take you on an expedition experience for the afternoon! Impossible to describe, we can only share from our decades of experience – Sandwich Harbour and the Namib Sand Sea (now a UNESCO world heritage site) will take your breath away and a permanent place in your memories. Beyond Epic!
