A magical experience full of new impressions. Pure adventure with Okki on the boat and with Volker on the Sandwich Harbour track. We always felt well taken care of and were able to enjoy it completely. Both were very authentic and friendly. Volker was also extremely helpful. We are very glad that we did this tour with Okki and Volker.
What a pleasure to read your review! Thank you for choosing us to be part of your Namibian adventure on both sand and sea 😊. Thanks Uwe
At 8:00 a.m., our guide Andrew picked us up and took us to the meeting point. After meeting the rest of the group, our first stop was to observe the flamingos. Andrew shared fascinating information about the different species, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Next came an experience I will never forget: kayaking with seals. It was absolutely incredible and difficult to put into words. After the activity, we were treated to a variety of snacks and refreshments, and I made sure to try them all—they were delicious. Our another adventure of the day was at Sandwich Harbour, where we explored the magnificent sand dunes in 4x4 vehicles. It was an exciting and unforgettable ride through one of the most spectacular landscapes I've ever seen. Last place was to see pink lake. Amazing place! The day was packed with amazing experiences, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Andrew. Dear Andrew, you are incredibly kind, patient, and an excellent driver. We are so glad we had the chance to meet you. Thank you for making this day so memorable for us.
We're so pleased that you enjoyed the experience. Sandwich Harbour has a way of leaving a lasting impression. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the scenery, the drive, and overall experience. Thanks Uwe
Andrew was amazing! He was right on time to pick us up from our accommodation. We shared the car with two other people, making it a group of five including Andrew for our Sandwich Harbour experience. We had a great time chatting along the way. Their time management was perfect; since the tide was low in the morning, we were able to drive along the beach to enter Sandwich Harbour. The dune experience afterward was an absolute blast too. Highly recommended!
We're thrilled you enjoyed your Sandwich Harbour experience. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for being part of the adventure. Thanks Uwe

We had a really great time on the Tour. We got picked up at our stay at 8:00 am and were back at 4:00 pm. Kayaking with the seals was so much fun and definitely one of the highlights of the day. Stephan was very entertaining, funny, and shared lots of interesting insights about the area and wildlife throughout the tour. The drive through the dunes was also amazing, with incredible views of the desert landscape.
Kayaking with the playful seals always steals the show followed by a roller coaster dune drive😁🙌 glad you got to experience that with Sandwich Harbour Tours. Thanks Uwe
