Private tour
Private tour with Frans was very nice. He's a good communicator in 7 languages. We went to the sand dunes, saw the pink lagoon, flamingos, and multiple wildlife back in the dunes.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the lovely review 😊 We’re really happy you enjoyed the private tour with Frans and the beautiful sights along the way. We hope to welcome you back again on your next visit to Namibia!

Never showed and never responded
They never arrived at the meeting point and never answered my calls to them or replied when I reached out through viator. I was only in Walvis Bay for a day and wasn’t able to see anything because of how horribly this company operates. Biggest waste of money, I wish I had spent a little more to go with another company

Great tour of Sandwich Harbour
I had originally booked the Sandwich Harbour tour through another company but schedules got mixed up so they set me up with Lance from Misty Shores. We had a few self-driving people as well. Lance did a great job during the tour, taking us on some exciting tracks, stopping at plenty of points for photos, answering a bunch of questions, and looking out for everyone's safety. We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Lance and the Misty Shores team could step in and turn the schedule mix-up into such a memorable adventure. It’s fantastic to hear you enjoyed the excursion, We hope to welcome you back for more incredible experiences in the future

Fantastisc day with Mr Speedy!
The area you visit is absolutely stunning and therefore probably all tour operators are ok. However what for us made the experience exceptional was the outstanding knowledge, fun and care of our tourguide; Mr Speedy. Never seen a guide that was so well with kids as with adults. On of the best tours in long time traveling the world. Would 100% recommend! We did the full day tour from 09.00 till 16.00
Operator response
Thank you so much for your glowing review! 🌟 We’re thrilled that Mr. Speedy turned your full-day tour into an unforgettable adventure. We hope we can welcome you back for many more adventures in this beautiful country of ours.

My best Adventurous trip to the Sandwich Harbour
Sandwich harbour is nolonger just a place but an experience🤗,an unforgettable one,althou my trip was suppose to be a solo one,I ended bonding with 3 other tourists whom I bonded with so natural like we were some old friends😄 ,our guide Mr Lance was simply amazing,his a real professional with a calm spirit,he was very informative and above all he made us feel very safe🤝
We started of with the Lagoon in town were we spotted some Flamingos, along the way to the dunes,we got to see an interesting pink lake and as we kept driving we spotted a jackal,Oryx and some springboks.
My favourite part was the quick unexpected adrenaline rush as soon as our guide speed up the dunes🤣one minute we would be gripping our seats and one moment we will be screaming and laughing like kids🤣🤣,thank God our guide was an absolute pro,he then brought us to what he called his OFFICE and ooh my God😍,there we saw a beautiful sandwich lagoon where the dunes meets the desert,this was such a beautiful site and a perfect masterpiece of nature😍
Well,after all the adventure,we were treated with a delicious finger snack meal and some sparkling drinks,oh I almost forgot the sand boarding😮,only one of us managed to go on that adrenaline rush of sand boarding the rest of us weren't prepared at all🥵,since I plan on returning I will most definitely try it out next time,finally I will recommend this company to you aswel!
