Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Passaremos por várias casas localizadas ao longo da costa entre Swakopmund e Henties Bay. Estas casas são conhecidas como casas de férias
Paramos no caminho para o Cabo Cross entre Swakopmund e Henties Bay, onde o naufrágio Zeila está localizado no mar.
Aqui você verá o monumento da forca que foi erguido em 1978 como um apelo para manter a praia limpa
passamos e aprendemos sobre a Usina de Dessalinização de Orania, quem a construiu e por quê, depois passamos por Wlotska's Backen, um resort de férias local e como ele surgiu. Paramos e caminhamos entre os pequenos líquenes em um campo de líquenes e aprendemos como eles sobrevivem nessas condições áridas. Faremos uma parada no naufrágio do navio Zeila e na baía de Henties, onde pegaremos um prato leve de almoço. O percurso passa pelo monumento Gallows, agora alterado, e pela colónia de focas de Cape Cross. Onde Diego ergueu uma cruz de mármore. Há um caminho a pé onde você chega bem perto de milhares de focas. Ao passar o tempo fotografando esses simpáticos animais, infelizmente temos que voltar para casa.
Depois de uma hora de parada na colônia de focas, retornaremos, mas primeiro pararemos e reabasteceremos o carro para que possamos ter uma viagem tranquila e econômica de volta ao seu alojamento.

Had an awesome experience thanks to our tour guide Stephan. He was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, and gave us a few good laughs. The seal colony is almost unbelievable until you experience it live, and the drive itself was fascinating… the scenery seemingly changing every 10-20 kilometers. If you are in the area, I definitely recommend you give this tour a go!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience with our company. The seal colony really is one of those places that's hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes, and we're glad the ever-changing scenery along the drive added to the adventure. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience 🤗. Thanks Uwe
Amazing tour of the Skeleton Coast with Riaan! He was the best- very attentive to his customers.
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful review! We hope to welcome you back for another tour. Thanks Uwe
We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Stephan. He showed us some spectacular places and made the trip an unforgettable experience.
Good guide - good Tour , glad you loved it. Thank you for review. Much appreciated. Uwe
A full day of diverse scenery and experiences. Our knowledgeable guide Hannes was able to adjust our schedule and experience with our interests. An excellent tour combines the coast, desert, history and of course the very loud and smelly seals!
This is wonderful to hear. The Skelton coast tour has interesting and hard history, with lots of little interesting things. Glad you liked it. Far way to travel in the Namib Desert. Glad you liked it. Wishing safe travels.
This tour was amazing! We only had so much time in Swakopmund and wanted to see as many sights as possible. Our guide, Winton, was fantastic. Arrived promptly, helped us pick out our lunch, and we were off. He explained the shipwreck, the flora, and the seal colony, as well as the local history. When it was lunchtime, he set up a table right on the beach, which we also off-roaded - that was a fun addition. We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our Skeleton Coast tour. Glad you loved it and the lunch setting. It's only desert they say... haha so much to see and do. Thank you Uwe
Another superb day with this company. Great service and professional guides. Lots of information. Took us to all the places wished to visit. Happy to make stops as requested if we saw something that interested us. Great lunch (too much in actual fact) provided in a atmospheric spot. Can't recommend them enough
you stopped my heart for a second , with your caption. hahaha The skeleton coast tour is a lot of traveling in a day and we are so glad that you had a lovely day. History is deep and harsh in this area. Thank you for choosing Desert Dunes and Dust tours. Uwe
This guided tour in Namibia was a highlight of our trip! Booking was easy —our accommodation took care of everything. Our guide William was wonderful: friendly, knowledgeable, and a skilled driver who made us feel at ease from the start. We had a great time with him, learning so much about the fascinating nature and history of the area. Though we could have done the trip independently, the guide added immense value, offering insights we’d never have known on our own. The seal colony was definitely worth a visit (even with the strong smell), and the small towns along the way were filled with character and history that brought the journey to life. The price was very fair for the quality of the experience.
great to hear you had a wonderful skeleton coast tour. Great to hear the guide was knowledgeable and took great car of you. sights are far between and history and geology is interesting and harsh. It is always better to go with a guide as they have invaluable knowledge, its like adding color to a bleak picture. great to hear you were satisfied. Uwe
The Skeleton Coast is just that. Few and far between things through the desert. We saw 2 out of the 3 possible shipwrecks but that was only due the tide being high at the time. Great to see the old mining works and the Seal Colony is just humbling, you get up so close that I wouldn't have believed it, until I took this trip. Our guide was helpful and knowledgable about the area and was able o provide us with much information and valuable knowledge of Namibia as a whole when we asked questions. It is a long day and a lot of travelling but well worth it.
Great to hear that you had a lovely day tor of the Skeleton coast. Its far to drive and long distances between sightings and difficult because of the distances. We are glad you had an interesting day and could imagine how difficult life was in the desert years ago. Those days men were men , hard as nails, without water, winds fog, sandstorms and the like everyday. Wish you safe travels. Uwe
I did a tour with this group back in March of 2024. Of all my time in Namibia, this was my worst experience. I am not exaggerating. There was so much driving and nothing to see. It was so bad that after the seals, we had the driver take us back. The vehicle was not the best. At one point, the doors would not open and the driver had to crawl through the trunk. As for shipwrecks, we seen one and then went to a piece of metal that could have been from anything. Save your money and do this on your own. Even the snacks were bad. I have the pictures to back up all that I wrote. The tour is misleading, the company that books is not the one that executes. Good luck in trying to get someone to take responsibility because all point fingers at the other.
Thank you for your concerns and criticism. This helps us solve issues. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We did use another company that day as we were all fully utilized on a cruise liner visit. We humbly apologize that they did not meet our standards. We will not use them again. Please initiate a refund from your side and we will approve it on our side. The tour is very long and Cape Cross is 150km from Swakopmund. There long desert stretches with little site seeing. So far we have had a lot of good feed back about the amount and quality of the food we serve along the way, but will definitely take it up with the caterer. Please accept our apologies. Uwe
A great days outing with John van Wyk. Such a beautiful coast line. Just a word on the second shipwreck ... its not there anymore! The sea has done its own clean up job!
Thank you for your kind words Dena. The sea has been coming in, when we were there a month ago the shipwreck was in the shore waves and i was wondering how long. The Winston is also gone. Great to hear our guides are doing a good job. Wishing you safe travels. Uwe
