Itinerary
Our first stop is at the Walvis Bay esplanade. Here we see the Pink Flamingos. We learn about the greater and lesser Flamingos. We drop our tyre pressure to .8 bar and are ready to take on the beach ride. We pass the pink Salt lakes of the Salt Mine and passed hundreds of waders and palearctic migratory birds in the Lagoon, along the shore to the towering Dunes of Sandwich harbour. Magnificent wide open spaces as the dunes get closer to the sea. We enter where Dunes meets sea on a narrow strip of beach. Awesome dune views and walks await us. We take a stomach tingling roller coaster ride to the Sandwich harbor view point. The bay is at your feet, surrounded by the Nara bush. Sandy sandbanks are awash in the bay and the green sea with blue sky red dunes is absolutely awesome. We take a dune drive to the best views, searching for animals in the desert and look for an unique picnic spot. Lunch with a dune view, quiet, very quiet only us around. We have time for dune and beach walks.
Our route takes us through the dunes and a game drive where we might see Ostriches , Oryx, Jackal and Springbuck. On the beach the Seals may be sleeping or playing, and if we are lucky we will see Dolphins and Whales. The route is back along the shores with thousands of birds. Sadly we end up in Walvis Bay. We tank up and air up and take your back to your hotel.

Great sand dune adventure with mesmerising view! Our guide, Andrew, was so well knowledgeable! The sand dune jeep ride was 10/10, with many thrill rides and breathtaking view! I also enjoy the Swakopmund salt lake infinity mirror experience, and seeing 70 thousands of seals, flamingos, cormorants, and turd birds! Very entertaining and best experience in Namibia! We took about 8hours adventure including 2 hour ride. Decent lunch provided. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the lovely review! glad to hear you had a fantastic day out with Sandwich Harbour Tours and that you had a thrilling and mesmerizing experience 😊. We wish to welcome you back for another breathtaking adventure. Safe travels Uwe
The guide - Andrew was very knowledgable and humorous, we got to know information that we were not aware about the bides, the landscape, the seals and etc. overall we just enjoyed ourselves very much, a day that very well spent
Your review made our day! Thank you for your support, and we hope your memories of Sandwich Harbour stay with you for years to come. Thanks Uwe
We chose the "Sandwich Harbour tour" to have a guided visit throughout the day, exploring the natural wonders of Swakopmund. The guide (Ryaan) was very welcoming, nice, and super helpful for any of our needs, taking us to key points to admire the beauty of the landscape. On the way to Sandwich Harbour, we visited the flamingo colonies, as well as the salt pans in the port area. Once we entered the desert, Ryaan took us to all the most iconic spots, customizing the route to see as many typical animals as possible. We spotted ostriches, oryx, springbok, jackals, and pelicans. Ryaan gave us a special and romantic moment by preparing a light lunch on a dune with a breathtaking view of the ocean. Everything was perfect.
We're grateful for your support and wonderful feedback. It was a pleasure sharing one of Namibia's most beautiful destinations with wonderful animal sightings with you, glad that everything was perfect. Kind regards Uwe
A great day out. Informative with stunning sights and wildlife. Andrew, our dunes driver was entertaining and gave us a fun drive experience in the desert

Impressive, very diverse, and all-day jeep tour. Our driver Victor was very nice, experienced, and we felt very well taken care of. Authentic and very delicious lunch in a great location. The organization on-site was top-notch and super easy (booked through My Shore Excursions; from the port of Walvis Bay). We can only recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you for the warm feedback! We're glad we were part of your Namibian adventure and that you had a blast 😊👌. We wish to welcome you back for another adventure. Thank you Uwe
We have had the most exciting and adventourus experience thanks to our fantastic guide/driver Andrew. In addition to be a good and safe driver - he is super serviceminded, helpful and professional. He is a really good story teller and he is highly skilled in Namibias historiy, culture, wildlife, biologi and geologi. We learned a lot about animals and plants as well as about industrial life and exports in this country. We were even served a nice lunch with different kinds of drinks - water, cider, beer, juice and cola cola. After this tour, we feel richer than yesterday. We will give our very best recommendations about Andrew and this tour.
