We have compiled common Mola tour faqs, so that you can find out more about your tour with Mola Mola.

What will I see?

​Seals (one could well jump on the boat!), Pelicans, Seagulls and other birdlife and dolphins. You could also see the Mola Mola (Sunfish), Jackals on the beach and of course whales during certain times of the year. You will also see the oyster lines (where they farm the famous Walvis Bay oysters), the lighthouse on Pelican Point and various ships and interesting vessels that are in the safe harbour of Walvis Bay.

All our boats are planning catamarans, meaning they have double hulls (for better stability). The great benefit of Planing Catamarans is that they still offer good stability, but are up to four times faster than traditional catamarans, more maneuverable and can get closer to the beach in shallow water (like for the seal colonies). They are like the 4x4s of the bay. Dolphins also like to ‘surf’ in the wakes they create!

We stay mostly in the bay or just around the point (if the dolphins or whales are there), so you do not really go out onto the open ocean. Furthermore, because the boats are moving most of the time, you are not really exposed to the rocking motion as much as if you were, for example, fishing from a boat. Keep looking around and on the horizon and you’ll be fine. Lastly, MythBusters (Discovery channel) proved that ginger helps prevent or quell sea sickness, so bring some along. Do not worry; it is only rarely that any of our guests get sea sick.
