Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores Walvis Bay-tur starter i Walvis Bay Harbor eller Walvis Bay Port, derefter kører vi nordpå mod Swakopmund, forbi Bird Island, den eneste menneskeskabte Guano Island og ind til Swakopmund. Ved Anløbsbroen går vi en tur på Anløbsbroen og Muldvarpen og deler historien om denne lille tyske koloniby. Vi går rundt og ser nogle gamle bygninger
Vi ser gamle hoteller og stationer, mens vi kører gennem den lille by derefter kører vi ind på grussletten i Namib-ørkenen, og vores første stop er lavmarken. Denne lille plante er et joint venture mellem en svamp og en alge, vi lærer hvordan de komplimenterer hinanden og hvordan de overlever
Grusvejen fører os til forskellige udsigtspunkter langs Månelandskabet. Spor af lavastrømningsperioder og istider er tydelige overalt omkring dig. Du føler, at du er på en anden planet, går på månen... Vi har nogle uranudforskningssteder og måske nogle ørkendyr som Zebra eller Springbuck
Goanikontes er en oase i Swakopmund-floden. Meget vigtig placering for områdets historie, da det var det første vandhul i ørkenen fra Swakopmund, en gammel politipost og grøntsager blev dyrket her. Vi lærer den interessante historie, når vi passerer gennem det tørre flodleje
Forbløffende nok på de hårde grussletter, hvor der ikke gror noget, finder vi den ældgamle Welwitschia-plante. Denne unikke plante har ingen stilk og kun to blade, den har tilpasset sig til at absorbere fugt fra tågen og den lille regn, og kan blive hundreder af år gammel. Der er han- og hunplanter, disse pollenes af små brune og orange insekter, der lever i planterne. Der produceres tusindvis af frø, som spredes af de hårde fremherskende vinde. Naturen er fantastisk
Efter en lang tur gennem ørkenen passerer vi Dune 7 tæt på Walvis Bay. Desværre bestiger vi ikke klitten, vi har kun tid til at se den. vi vender desværre tilbage til Walvis Bay-havnen
Vi stopper ved Flamingos i Walvis Bay Lagune, her er mere end 750 000 fugle, der omfatter 54 fuglearter, palearktiske vandrende fugle, pelikanter og kormoranter kan ses fra tid til anden.

There was a bit of chaos at the terminal with the guards limiting access for the tour guides and confusion about the meeting point, but after a few minutes, we met our tour guide Didi who took us on a fascinating tour of the Namib desert and the colonial town of Swakopmund. The 7h30m tour combined travel by 4WD through the desert and walking in town. We even had time for a delicious seafood lunch at a local restaurant. Didi was all the things you want in a guide- knowledgeable, personable, open to our requests, enthusiastic, and proud of his country. Before arriving to the port, we didn't know what to expect from our day in Namibia, but we left with a greater appreciation for the country and its people.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted you enjoyed the delicious lunch and that the guide made the experience even more special. Being flexible and sharing knowledge is what we strive for. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure. Thanks Uwe
First we had to wait 1.5 hours for other tour participants from another organizer,with 3 people sitting on the seat vank of a Toyota,no pleasure in the heat.Air conditioning worked only conditionally.Brunch and noon there was no.About 4 pm then unchilled meat etc what was in the morning in the heat in the car.Water and juice were then available for beverage selection.The tour ended after almost 6 hours.
Tut uns Wahnsinnig leid wie es gelaufen. Stimmt das es heiss war , stimmt auch das sie lange warten mussten auf die andere Gaeste die eine andere Buchungs zeit bekommen haben. Wir haben die Klimaanlage wieder vol Gas mach lassen haben, und wir haben mit dem Veranstalter so eben eine andere starten zeit vereinbart. Tut uns Wahnsinnig leid das es so gelaufen ist und hoffen das es nie wieder vorkommt. Wir sind bereit ihr geld fuer die Tour zurrueck zu erstatten. Wir werden es von unsere seite veranlassen. Wuenschen weiterhin eine gute Reise.
My companion is disabled but our guide, Victor did everything he could to make our day memorable - including accommodating my wish to see a museum not included on the schedule.
We're happy you experience. Glad you had a wonderful day out with Victor and that you got to the museum. Safe travels and thank you for visiting Namibia. Thanks Uwe
It was a very nice trip. We approached all points as in the description. But the excursion took place in reverse order, We had ordered travel in German and received only English-speaking guides. In Swakopmund only the tourist market at the Herero's and the Jetty was visited. Unfortunately, there was no one-hour walk through this interesting city, nor was the history of Swakopmund reported. There was no time for a coffee break. Upon request, a small city tour was added.
Danke die Empfehlung freut uns sehr die Tour war doch schoen. Tut uns leid das es doch mangel gaben. In einem Tag in Walvis Bay/Swakopmund wenn da 3000 Gaeste auf einer Aida oder Mein Schiff sind, gibt es in diesen kleinen Doerfer nicht genug Deutschspragige Guides. Deswegen sagen wir unten in der Beschreibung von der Tour und am Ende nochmals, unter Notizen, dass wir leider nicht ein Deutschspragigen guide bestaetigen koennen. Auch denken wir sie haben die normale Swakopmund City Tour beschreibung und Die Namib Highlights tour durcheinander.Da ist leider keine zeit fuer eine Kaffee pause und einkaufen auf dieser Tour weil die schon so etwa 8 Stunden lank ist. Ist egal wie rum man die Faehrt. Wir wissen aber auch das die ganzen Buesse nach Welwitschia Goanikontes fahren und es draengelt sehr, fahren wir die tour anders herum um bischen frieden zu haben, Die Mondlandschafft ist sehr still aber den Tag von einem grossen Kreuzfahrt Schiff ist es sehr laut und staubig. Die Swakopmund City Tour ist nur 4 stunden und da hat man Stadt bummeln, einkaufen, Kaffee trinken usw, Zeit fuer. Hoffentlich haben sie eine gute Erklärung und akzeptieren unsere Entschuldigung. Wuensche weiterhin eine gute Reise. Danke den Besuch und Schreiben.
If you do not want to see shoreline or dunes don't waste your time or money. Saw a flock of no more than 10 flamingos that were white. Tour consisted of an hour and a half bus ride to Swkaopmund an hour in town and another hour and a half ride back to the port. Your do get free admission to a disappointing museum no guide provided. The city may have historical, but it is not appearant and has not been preserved.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take all feedback seriously and will review your concerns with our team. We look forward to welcoming you back for complimentary tour. Thanks Uwe
Namibia left me speechless! The sand dunes were like waves frozen in time — towering, golden, and endlessly beautiful 🏜️. Sliding down the dunes was pure adrenaline, and the view? Unreal. Then the ocean… meeting the desert at the coast felt like magic 🌊. Calm, wild, and peaceful all at once. Namibia’s natural beauty is something I’ll never forget.
Thank you for the wonderful review! Sandwich Harbour is Namibia's most spectacular destinations and they are magical. We're delighted you enjoyed the dune driving and breathtaking views. Thanks Uwe
Was a nice day with many stops, However, one should not rely on set times, although described in this way, the driver could not speak or understand any German. Otherwise many nice photo stops made. The snack for lunch was very nice and delicious. I would like to repeat this trip.
Danke die nette Empfehlung. Tut uns leid das wir nicht genug Deutschspragige Guides in Swakopmund haben. Freut mich aber dass sie eine Tolle tour hatten. Danke. Uwe
Beautiful landscape; sights were very interesting to see. Moonscape, river valley and the desert were all amazing. Lunch at the old ostrich farm was really nice. Not much information provided by the guide. Would have appreciated learning more about the area, geology, history, industry, etc. Despite booking a full day tour and all of us saying at the start that we wanted to see as much as possible as we likely wouldn't be back, the tour ended after only 5.5 hours. There was no time spent walking in Swakopmund, only time at the jetty, market, and two stops to take photos of buildings. Completely missed the stop at the Walvis Bay Harbour to see the flamingoes, so only saw them at a distance on bird island which was disappointing.
Thank you for your positive critism. Sorry to hear that the tour was not accordingly. I now do not know when it took place and who the guide was. We had other companies subcontracting on the last few Cruise liners as we did not have enough capacity. We apologize sincerely and will definitely make sure it does not happen again. Please accept sincere apologies. Uwe
All points were approached, but in Swakopmund hardly had time to see the old buildings (2 stops a 10 min pier and market at the lighthouse). Didn't make any stops at the old colonial buildings. The midday snack was delicious, sufficient and with plenty of drinks. Since we had to wait more than 30 minutes for other passengers, we were transferred to another vehicle. These guests had booked a 6 hour excursion, we one of 7.5 hours. The driver had been told that it was a 5 hour trip. He dropped us off at the ship after about 6 hours. This explains the missing time in Swapkopmund and the missing time. Our passengers also had a much cheaper price. So my rating: Service not provided!
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you felt there wasn't enough time in Swakopmund and that the colonial buildings weren't included in the itinerary. We appreciate your comments and will provide a more balanced experience in the future. We hope to welcome you back soon and offer a tour that is up to our clients expectations. Thanks Uwe
We took the Walvis Bay/Swakopmund excursion. The arrangements were all done professionally however the Tour Guide was not up to expectations and could have shown us so much more and made the trip far more interesting and worthwhile. Not value for money. We are going to Namibia next again and will definitely make other arrangements. A simple thing like a info pack could have gone a long way.
We are sorry to hear that you a bad experience. We are wondering if you were on tour with us or with the company that Sub contracted us. As we follow their lead for the Tours for the Cruise liner? They subcontract us from time to time, and they follow their own schedule, route and they have their own guides, we have not subcontracted with them since December. All the previous reviews rave about how nice a tour they had, and each Cruise liner only had one minibus out on this tour. We also don't have a Walvis Bay Swakopmund tour as such. If it was us, we sincerely apologize, but think it could rather be another company with a similar name. All our guides are qualified, talk a lot and are passionate about what they do and where they do it. Thats what we sell differently at Desert Dunes and Dust Tours. Please accept our apology if it was us you travelled with Uwe
