Amazing experience from start to finish!

We spent a full day with Wolker, first starting with the kayaking with the seals and then continuing our day with the ride on the dunes. Our experience was exceptional! We had a lot of fun learning more about the animals, as well as a beautiful country of Namibia! Wolker was very knowledgable and happy to answer all the questions we had. Same for the ride on the dunes - I am normally pretty afraid of these type of activities, but our guide made sure I was feeling safe during the experience :) thank you for a memorable day !

Operator response

Dune driving at Sandwich Harbour is a thrilling yet a safe drive with an experience guide 😊🙃. We're glad you overcame your fears and also learned a lot about our beautiful country Namibia. Safe travels Uwe

Very nice impressions!

We booked on short notice via GetYourGuide, so we didn't really know who the service provider was. The offer included hotel pickup (good, I've driven enough already!). The pickup was then at 8:00 instead of 7:30, but that seems normal; the times do not vary by pickup location. The transfer arrived, that's what counts. Then we went to the harbor, a short bathroom break, then onto the boat... Slight confusion: no catamaran, it doesn't run on Sundays, but unfortunately that wasn't stated anywhere. We specifically wanted a catamaran because of the rocking, but fine, then we'll go with the small sport fishing boat, at least there were only ten of us. Ultimately, however, the sea was calm despite the cloud cover, and we enjoyed the small size of the group, so we were actually lucky. Out to the seals, on to the dolphins (don't be surprised, it all takes place in a less than idyllic outer harbor and next to an oil rig). Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales or pelicans. The crew was great, though, and there was a snack on the boat, including oysters. Back on land, we were split into several jeeps; unfortunately, there were five of us, meaning at least someone had to be in the jump seat, which ended up being our son, but it worked out, and another person sat in the back. Having 3 people, strangers at that, in the back seat during such a bumpy dune ride would have otherwise been tedious to annoying. Off to a salt pan and the flamingos there, then along the beach to the dunes, up and down, with several photo stops. Then another snack and off toward the hotel, with an attempt to see a few more animals in the dunes. A springbok made an appearance. The driver, Tongai, did a great job and had plenty of information ready, plus a Namibia flag for a photo and a small collection bottle for magnetic ferrite for our son. Thanks/danki! All in all, a great day!

Fantastic experiences to take home.

A magical experience full of new impressions. Pure adventure with Okki on the boat and with Volker on the Sandwich Harbour track. We always felt well taken care of and were able to enjoy it completely. Both were very authentic and friendly. Volker was also extremely helpful. We are very glad that we did this tour with Okki and Volker.

Unique Experience

At 8:00 a.m., our guide Andrew picked us up and took us to the meeting point. After meeting the rest of the group, our first stop was to observe the flamingos. Andrew shared fascinating information about the different species, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Next came an experience I will never forget: kayaking with seals. It was absolutely incredible and difficult to put into words. After the activity, we were treated to a variety of snacks and refreshments, and I made sure to try them all—they were delicious. Our another adventure of the day was at Sandwich Harbour, where we explored the magnificent sand dunes in 4x4 vehicles. It was an exciting and unforgettable ride through one of the most spectacular landscapes I've ever seen. Last place was to see pink lake. Amazing place! The day was packed with amazing experiences, and we honestly couldn't have asked for more. A huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Andrew. Dear Andrew, you are incredibly kind, patient, and an excellent driver. We are so glad we had the chance to meet you. Thank you for making this day so memorable for us.
