Begin your adventure at the stunning Walvis Bay Lagoon, home to flocks of flamingos and diverse coastal birds. Take in the beautiful scenery and snap some memorable photos. Next, we’ll visit the Walvis Bay Salt Works, famous for its industrial salt production and vibrant pink lakes caused by microorganisms. This unique landscape is ideal for photography. Enjoy a scenic drive along the sandy beach with ocean views on one side and the Namib Naukluft dunes on the other. This route showcases the stark beauty of the Namib Desert. If weather permits, we’ll head to Sandwich Harbour Lagoon, a RAMSAR site. If high tides restrict direct access, you can still admire the lagoon from lookout points and enjoy a leisurely stroll. After exploring, relax at a picturesque spot while enjoying snacks and beverages, all with stunning landscape views. On the return journey, get ready for an exhilarating 4x4 ride over high dunes, followed by a relaxing cruise back along the beach.

The most wondrous and thrilling trip between sea and dunes and on the dunes. Our great guide Lukas made the experience extra special with his sense of fun and good humour. Loved it!!
Great tour and with a great guide. Did tour from cruise port and definately recommend. Good fun on 4x4 car
An unforgettable experience. There were stunning landscapes and plenty of fun driving over the dunes. And then we were actually able to spot humpback whales. Our 5-year-old daughter was completely thrilled as well. Especially from climbing up and running down the dunes. Many thanks to our driver Lawrence, who pointed out and explained many things to us. We would do it again anytime!
Our courteous guide and driver was very knowledgeable about the local culture, ecology and environment. He gave us thrilling ride along the beach and the dunes. His experience was very evident.
We had a great tour to Sandwich Harbour where Namib Naukluft dunes meet ocean. Our driver/guide Lawrense waited for us outside the port gate although our ship arrived 1 1/2 hours late. He was a very skillful 4X4 driver and he also could arrange a beautiful snack plate and with assorted drink selection at a nice location on dune, with rest room! We were tremendously amazed by the beauty of the desert and the ocean. This trip definitely is one of the best excursions we have taken, surely one to remember for life.
This was an amazing tour saw loads of wildlife and the driving up and down the sand dunes was a great experience. Our guide Michael was lovely very friendly and knowledgeable and made the trip extra special even stopping to find a gecko that was buried in the sand. Highly recommended
Exceptional guide great knowledge and insight went the extra mile to make the experience really enjoyable. Would strongly recommend both guide and experience, thanks.
A superb way to see a fascinating part of this amazing country with David and Michael- great drivers, hosts and so much more. Definitely to be recommended
Fantastic trip from start to finish. Good communication in advance & David was an excellent guide & driver making sure we got all the info & opportunities for photos. Great snacks as well! Driving in a pair of cars with Michael in the other, great team work & made it a fun day too. Highly recommend this trip.
I absolutely loved the tour. The scenery of Sandwich Harbour was exotic and I think it is a must-visit place. And the guide was really professional. I was able to see everywhere satisfactorily because he adjusted the destinations according to the weather and the time of day. Needless to say, his driving skills were professional, and because he was born and raised in Namibia for a long time, his explanation was also very detailed, so I was able to understand not only all the places I visited, but also the explanations of each animals and plants and the history of national parks. The first place I visited was the salt farm near Walvis Bay. As I climbed the nearby sand dune, I was told why salt farms and pink salts were made. In the process of moving to a national park, it not only explained changes in the natural landscape, such as the change in the location of the national park and the movement of dunes due to natural phenomena, but also provided additional explanations for various animals and plants that could be encountered in the process of moving. He also tried to find animals such as Springbok, Orix, and jackal for me, and succeeded. On the way, I saw four Springboks and four jackals, excluding numerous seals, and this was very interesting.
