A fantastic tour, it was truly an incredible experience! You will not get closer to seals than this! Volker, our guide, was amazing! I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you for the fantastic review! It was a pleasure sharing this incredible kayaking with the playful seals to thrilling dune driving. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Safe travels Uwe
We reccomend Volker as the best tour guide in Swakopmund! Punctual, friendly and very informative guy. Super easy and chilled to talk with! We really enjoyed the full day trip with him. If you love to hear the history of the town while doing the trip, he is the one! Kayaking with the seals is very cool experience. Good Brunch and Lunch. He knows the spot for photos and very good at driving. We love you! From Henrik and Pemika
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. It means a lot to our team. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the incredible landscapes, the dunes and the overall experience. We hope the memories of Sandwich Harbour STAY WITH YOU FOR A LONG TIME 😊🙌. Safe travels! Uwe
We spent the day with our amazing guide Volker. What a day !!! We started with kayaking with the seals. A wonderful experience having seals playing with us. Then we went to Sandwich Harbor and ride on the dunes. The landscapes at the top of the dunes are just breathtaking. The lunch during the tour is also very good and tasty. We highly recommend this experience. Thanks again Volker for your kindness and this wonderful day.
Perfect combination 🤗- kayaking with the playful seals to thrilling dune driving with breathtaking views and delicious picnic. Thank you for joining us for this wonderful adventure. Safe travels Uwe
I joined the Pelican Point and Sandwich Harbour tour with Sandwich Harbour Tours, and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Namibia. My guide, LeCloue, made the experience truly exceptional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, from the local wildlife and history to the geology and unique ecosystem of the area. His driving skills on the dunes were outstanding. I always felt completely safe while still enjoying the excitement of driving through such an incredible landscape. He also gave excellent photography and videography advice, which helped me capture some fantastic memories. What impressed me most was his genuine respect for the environment and the wildlife. It was obvious that he cares deeply about preserving this special place, and he always ensured that the animals were treated with care and respect. LeCloue was also a wonderful host, providing delicious food and drinks throughout the day and creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. His sense of humor made the tour even more enjoyable. I expected beautiful scenery, but I honestly wasn’t expecting the experience to be this memorable. He transformed what would already have been a great excursion into something truly unforgettable. I would happily do this tour again and wholeheartedly recommend Sandwich Harbour Tours to anyone visiting Namibia.
Thank you so much for the high recommendation, it truly means a lot to the team. Wonderful to hear that you had such a memorable and knowledgeable experience glad that the food, scenery, driving skills and friendly atmosphere made your experience even more adventurous. Thank you for sharing it with us. We wish to welcome you back for another exciting adventure. Warm regards Uwe
Our guide Le Clue picked us up promptly at 8 AM at our accommodation and provided us with many interesting facts about the region and Namibia during the drive to Pelican Point. The kayaking tour was perfectly organized, allowing us to have a great time with seals that frequently boarded our kayak and provided much entertainment. After a delicious snack, we continued towards the dunes. On the way there, we were able to observe some animals by the water and on the beach. The thrilling dune ride was complemented by another snack. Overall, a fantastic experience. Le Clue was able to convey the diversity of Namibia excellently through his impressive knowledge. Regardless of nature, industry, or politics... he was always well-informed. Many thanks also to Volker, who took over the paddling during the seal tour.
We appreciate your wonderful review! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the kayaking and the spectacular dunes of Sandwich Harbour. Thank you for choosing us. We hope to see you again on your next visit. Thanks Uwe
Leclue is the best at being a guide!!! A beautiful experience.
Thank you for the beautiful feedback! Wish to welcome you back for another exciting adventure with Sandwich Harbour Tours 🙌🤗. Thanks Uwe
Leclue was our guide for both the Harbour seal kayak experience as well as for the sandwich Harbour off-road dune experience. He picked us up in Swakopmund. Overall, we had a great day with him, Leclue was very knowledgeable about Namibia in general and could tell us a lot of details and historical facts about the nature and history that we were experiencing that day. Highly recommend booking the tour with Dune Desert and Dust and also look for Leclue as your guide since he is very nice.
Thank you for choosing Desert, Dunes and Dust Tours for this exciting combo (Seal kayaking and Sandwich Harbour). Glad to hear your guide was knowledgeable and that you had a great day and experience with us. Thanks Uwe
What an amazing day. We were a bit nervous with the fairly high price of doing this combination day tour, but wow it was so worth it. Our guide Le Clue was incredible, he was very professional, conversational, and honestly shared so much learning and info about what we were doing and Namibia in general. The balance with kayaking / interacting with the seals and then cruising through the dunes of sandwich harbour was great. Would and will recommend to anyone traveling to Swakop, thanks again to the amazing team at Desert Dunes and Dust.
What a 5-star review 🤗🙌, thank you! Kayaking with the playful seals to cruising through the dunes is worth every penny - two experiences in one day is a bonus 😁. Thank you for choosing Desert, Dunes & Dust Tours for the wonderful experience. We hope the memories and experience made up for the pennies spent 😁😎. Warm regards Uwe
We returned home tired but extremely satisfied with the day we spent. Our guide Volker was kind, friendly, and helpful from the very beginning, and he explained a lot of interesting things to us. The kayak tour among the seals was spectacular, very exciting: we had much more fun than expected. Equally exciting was the ride on the dunes at Sandwich Harbour: adrenaline and breathtaking landscapes. The snacks and lunch also made the day enjoyable and satisfying. I confirm the other reviews of 10/10, absolutely recommended experience. Well done, Volker!
Kayaking with the playful seals to thrilling dune driving will forever be our famous combo, thank you for joining us for this wonderful adventure. We wish to welcome you for another wonderful and exciting adventure. Thanks Uwe
Minor hiccup at the start, they forgot our pickup, but a quick call sorted it and we were on our way, though we did lose quite bit of time. From there, the day was fantastic. Kayaking with seals was genuinely unforgettable, the dune driving at Sandwich Harbour was spectacular, and our guide LeClue was both knowledgeable and great fun. Can recommend!
Our humble apologies for the delay! thank you for your 5-star review wonderful to hear that you had such a fantastic day out with Sandwich Harbour Tours. We hope to welcome you for another adventure. Thanks Uwe
