I had an amazing experience on the Sandwich Harbour Sunset Tour. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, from the stunning dunes meeting the ocean to the beautiful sunset views. The guide was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making the trip both enjoyable and informative. The whole experience was well organized, relaxing, and unforgettable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Walvis Bay and looking for a unique Namibian adventure. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories!
Great driving, but missed the "sunset" in Sunset Tour To start with the general context: most tours here are priced similarly, though some include snacks or pickups. In my opinion, these feel a bit like a tourist trap; if you have a rental car, you can easily see 60% of the sites yourself. For instance, the "Pink Lake" is just a man-made salt pan—don't expect too much. However, you will likely pay 2,500–3,000 per person for the ocean and dune drive, as you need the expertise and rental insurance won't cover those areas. Specifics of this tour: On the positive side, our guide was punctual, the car was clean/fit for purpose, and the dune driving itself was excellent. The major disappointment was the "Sunset" aspect. We booked specifically because the company messaged us saying, "the idea is staying there till sunset, which is an unforgettable experience." Unfortunately, the guide returned us to the hotel way ahead of schedule, and we ended up watching the sunset from our room. We didn't argue at the time because we were tired of holiday stressors, but it was a letdown. Also, being asked for dietary restrictions was a bit ironic considering we were only offered crisps and water. Final Verdict: Overpriced. If you’ve never driven on dunes, give it a go. If you have, you’ll likely feel this isn't worth the premium.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate both the compliments and the concerns raised regarding your experience. We are pleased to hear that you found the guide punctual, the vehicle clean and suitable, and that you enjoyed the dune driving itself. Safety, professionalism, and providing a memorable driving experience remain very important to us. We would also like to sincerely apologise if the Sunset Tour did not fully meet your expectations regarding the sunset timing. The intention of this tour is indeed to allow guests to enjoy the sunset experience in the dunes, and we regret if this was not achieved during your outing. Your feedback is valuable to us, as it helps us monitor and improve the performance and consistency of our tours and guides. Regarding pricing, we completely understand that tours can sometimes feel expensive from a traveller’s perspective. However, there are many operational costs involved behind the scenes that make these excursions possible and safe. Fuel prices have increased significantly over time, and dune driving vehicles require constant maintenance due to the demanding terrain. In addition, guide fees, vehicle upkeep, park permits, and newly introduced government concession fees all contribute to operational expenses. It is also important to mention that operators are now required to hold passenger liability insurance in order to legally access the concession areas within the park. We are fully insured and compliant with these regulations, which ensures the safety and protection of our guests throughout the experience. With regard to refreshments and dietary requirements, we ask all guests in advance because some travellers have dietary restrictions, allergies, or vegetarian preferences, and we always try our best to accommodate where possible. We would also like to clarify that our tours are always operated with the promised light finger snacks, drinks, beverages, and champagne included. This has consistently been part of our service offering, and many of our previous guests have appreciated this aspect of the experience, as reflected in other reviews. We genuinely appreciate your honest feedback and thank you once again for choosing us during your visit to Namibia. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving our service and guest experience. We wish you safe travels and all the best on your future adventures. Misty Shores team
