Most definitely worth every cent 😁, thank you for the amazing feedback! Thanks Uwe
Andrew, our driver, was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting things along the way
Wonderful feedback! thank you 🙌. Regards Uwe
We booked the full-day tour with pickup in Swakop and absolutely loved it. We had a great time both kayaking and on the trip to Sandwich Harbour. Our guide, Le Clue, was with us the whole time and taught us so much about Namibia! He also treated us to some great snacks. Le Clue was one of the best guides we’ve ever had on all our travels. Thank you so much, my Friend!
Thanks a lot for the 5-star review! kayaking + Sandwich Harbour will forever be a famous and adventurous combo as you get to experience both land and sea in one day, from thrilling dune driving to paddling with the cute, playful and naughty seals 😁. Wonderful to hear you had such a great time in Namibia with Sandwich Harbour Tours. Thanks Uwe
It's a fascinating experience. All very well organized. Our guide Andrew has been extraordinarily attentive to us. He has given us explanations about animals, plants, geology, history... He has also taken us comfortably in the 4x4 on roads and dunes. The kayak ride with hundreds of friendly seals has been unforgettable. A dream come true!! A magnificent picnic on the way back to the coast has capped the excursion before returning to the hotel in a relaxed manner. I recommend this activity!!
Thank you for the 5-star warm review! glad you were impressed with the organization, picnic and tour. Kayaking with the 'playful' seals is always unforgettable, highly recommended 😊. Thanks Uwe
We enjoyed the kayak tour among the seals. Guide Leclue was incredibly friendly and shared all kinds of fun facts about the animals and the area. The seals came curiously close and provided a unique, unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Thank you for taking your time to leave such a wonderful review. We're delighted that you had such a wonderful and unforgettable experience with the 'playful' seals. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure. Thanks Uwe
Just had an amazing morning with Volker kayaking among juvenile seals. So much fun. We got up really close to them and it was a beautiful experience to witness these playful creatures at close quarters. Definitely a thumbs up from me.
Kayaking with the 'playful seals' will forever be famous 😁, they do steal the spotlight. Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We wish to welcome you back for another adventure with us. Thanks Uwe
The tour was amazing. Tongai was our guide. He told us so much about the country, the surroundings, and the wildlife. I would really recommend this. It is very special to kayak with all the seals around you
We really appreciate your feedback! It's great to hear you had such a memorable time with us. Happy Easter and warm greetings from Desert, Dunes & Dust Tours 🤗🌺🙌. Thanks Uwe
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely wonderful day on our half-day kayak tour (April 3rd), and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we were picked up, our driver LeClue made the experience special. He was incredibly enthusiastic and shared fascinating stories and information about the different sights along the way. His passion really added a great touch to the drive. The kayaking itself was breathtaking. We saw so many seals at Pelican Point! Being that close to them in the water was an unforgettable experience. To top it all off, LeClue prepared a fantastic brunch with a great variety of drinks once we finished kayaking. Everything was delicious, but I especially loved the egg mayo bread—it was exactly what we needed after a morning on the water. This was a highly professional and enjoyable tour. I can’t recommend it enough!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed the breathtaking views, delicious brunch, and the passion of our guides - it really means a lot to us. Happy Easter 🤗🌺🙌, we hope to welcome you back again soon! Thanks Uwe
