Ubforgettable expérience
We were recommanded to this tour by the tourism office in Walvis bay and we were not disappointed. From the moment we jumped on the boat the experience was just breath taking. Amazing guides, they provide you anything at anytime (food / drinks / stories) We warmly recommend to do the day tour (ocean safari / sandwich harbour) with this company. Just amazing at every point. Thank you for the amazing expérience. Suzan and Jean-Noël

A day to remember!
Wow, what an excursion! The tour was very well organized, from pick-up to drop-off. Pictures can't really capture the stark beauty of the sand dunes. We were awestruck by the beauty of the water meeting the vast sand dune landscape. Our guide Andries was fantastic. He drove like a pro and gave us a ride over the dunes that we'll never forget! He gave us information about everything we were seeing, plus some unexpected surprises (gemstone sand, iron sand magic and even a gecko - just like in the pictures!) The catered lunch on the sand dunes was amazing, and delicious. And when the road to Pelican Point was flooded, he took us on a drive to see a bit of the town instead. He was great, and we had one of the most wonderful days we've had in a long time! Thank you Andries!
Operator response

Thank you for your kind words—we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
