Sandwich Harbour Half Day 4x4 Excursion

Itinerary

Admission included240 min

A half day 4x4 adventure excursion departing from Walvis Bay at 08H30 or at 13H00 to the Sandwich Harbour Area after a short break at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to view some flamingos and salt works, you will proceed to the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok may be seen. Beautiful dunes will have to be crossed to get to Sandwich Harbour. If weather and tides allow, you will drive right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands. If our vehicles cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour because of the tides, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots and will have the time to walk and explore the Sandwich Harbour Area. Lots of time are granted for photograph. A light picnic lunch with some cold beverages in the breathtaking scenery can be expected before returning through the dunes for some more adventure.

Brilliant visit to desert with dunes, salt basins, animals and a fabulous lunch!

We were collected at the end of the pier by Marius. A local who knew so much about the area and Namibia generally. We left town and headed into the dunes seeing Springbok, seals on the beach, flamingos (albeit at a distance) and Pelicans as well as other birds. Tracks in the sand made by Shovel nosed lizards and jackals - what a treat. Then a fabulous lunch with a glass of sparkling wine. Very civilised! Homewards with trips down amazingly steep dunes through the salt basins to our cruise ship. Highlight of our trip!

We would be picked up on time, driver Hans had exciting stories to tell. We would also be surprised with a fantastic picnic in the middle of the dunes. The tour was as described and very nice

A must see in Walvis Bay

Beautiful landscape with dunes falling into the ocean. Very well organized excursion, expert guide. But the place has become very touristy with too many 4x4s roaming the dunes

Visit that became an experience

A highly recommended tour. Our Guide who was called Marius has a lot of experience and drives great. We always feel maximum security. He explained a lot of things about the country, the dunes, the fauna... you can see that he is passionate about what he does and knows how to transmit it. He showed us the colors of sand, metals, dunes flowing into the sea... he drove for fun like a roller coaster. In the end he offered us a picnic that was very delicious, chocolates, beer... We had a great time and learned a lot. We will always thank you for the amazing afternoon you put us through.

Popping champagne between dunes and the ocean

Great tour and shout out to our awesome guide Gerhard! He was super friendly and made the tour that much more enjoyable. The tour was a mix of great views, animals, good picnic lunch, and of course the iconic views of the dunes and ocean. A must do in the area.

A perfect tour

We had such a great time on this half-day tour of Sandwich Harbour and the sand dunes. The flamingos were amazing! Our guide, Gabby, was so friendly and knowledgeable. She definitely knew how to drive the dunes! The tour also included a snack, but it was more like a full lunch. So delicious! A perfect day in Walvis Bay!
