5 reviews of Walvis Bay

Peaceful

The coastal town of Walvis Bay is the place of choice for the local white Namibians. The most interesting part of this area is the desert that stretches offshore for miles. Large dunes, which are the highest in the world according to come say, surprise by joining the coastal scenery. It is really peaceful there. The immensity of the sea next to the vastness of the desert

Visiting Walvis bahs

Visitando la bahís de Walvis

Tras visitar el desierto del Namib y cruzar las montañas del Naukluft en Namibia, nos dirigimos a la costa a la ciudad de Swakopmund, la ciudad costera mas importante del pais. A unos pocos kilometros se encuentra Walbis Bay que está considerado el puerto mas importante del país. Desde aquí se pueden contratar excursiones en las que visitar la bahía donde hay abundante fauna marina (delfines, leones marinos, pelícanos...). Uno piensa en Africa y automaticamente le vienen a la mente los grandes mamíferos terrestres, las aves,... La fauna marina es algo que me sorprendió gratamente pues aparte de los leones marinos y los delfines, en Hermanus, cerca de Ciudad del Cabo pude observar las ballenas saltando en su bahía mientras se aparean en los meses de nuestro verano. Os dejo esta instantanea de un grupo de pelícanos volando en formación cual patrulla acrobática en la bahia de Walvis. De fondo podréis observar la tormenta de arena que ese día cubría la zona.
After visiting the Namib Desert and the Naukluft mountain crossing in Namibia, we headed to the coast to the city of Swakopmund, the most important coastal city in the country. A few km is Walbis Bay which is considered the most important port of the country. From here you can hire tours that visit the bay where there is abundant marine life (dolphins, sea lions, pelicans ...). One thinks of Africa and will automatically come to mind large terrestrial mammals, birds, ... The marine life is something that I was pleasantly surprised because apart from the sea lions and dolphins, in Hermanus, near Cape Town could see the whales jumping in the bay while mating in our summer months. I leave this snapshot of a group of pelicans flying in formation aerobatic team which in Walvis Bay. In the background you can see the dust storm that covered the area that day.

Crossing the highest dunes in the world ms

Cruzando las dunas más altas del mundo

Excellent
Hace unos días conocimos al propietario de cuatro quads y un DuneBuggie que se ofreció a meternos con sus bestias en el desierto, que atraviesa la zona de Walvis Bay en la provincia de Erongo. Dicen que son las más altas del mundo y no me extraña. En este viaje subimos a dunas cuya altura cortaría la respiración de mas de uno, con un vehículo tan potente, que su rugido provocaba corrimientos de arena a nuestro alrededor. Una experiencia única que solo puedes vivir en un ligar tan mágico como este... El desierto mas antiguo del mundo, el Namib.
A few days ago we met the owner of four quads and a DuneBuggie who offered to mess with their beasts in the desert, which spans the area of ​​Walvis Bay in the Erongo province. They say they are the highest in the world and no wonder. On this trip we got to cut the dunes with a height of more than one breath, with a car so powerful that its roar caused landslides sand around us. A unique experience that can only live in a bind as magical as this ... The world's oldest desert, the Namib.

Wavils Bay si trova in Namibia a est sul oceano Atlantico. Bella città che consiglio di visitare. A sud ci sono le saline stupende piene di fenicotteri rosa e sei già nelle dune del deserto. Paesaggi da togliere il respiro .
Wavils Bay is located in Namibia on the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Beautiful city that I recommend to visit. To the south are the beautiful salt marshes full of pink flamingos and you are already in the dunes of the desert. Landscapes that take your breath away.
