Victor is a super friendly and competent guide! *****+👍👍👍👍👍 It was an exceptionally beautiful day.😊😎🤗 This tour can really only be recommended to everyone. Thanks Victor😍
Thank you for the recommendation, your recommendation truly means a lot to the team 😊. Thank you for choosing us. Uwe
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 !
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
I had an amazing trip guided by Riaan who combined his humour and local knowledge with driving expertise par excellence. The stuff of memories
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Uwe
We had Johnny as our guide and he was such a nice guy, lovely to chat with about Namibia. And he was an amazing driver!
Wonderful review! thank you for sharing your day with us, glad that you were fueled with knowledge and memories that will last a lifetime 🙌👌. See you again. Uwe
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!
It was wonderful to have you with us. Thank you for your kind recommendation and for sharing your experience. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Namibia. Your support means the world to us. Thank you Uwe
Le Clue was our guide. A wonderful one. He's talking about his country, animals with a lot of interest. He is taking care of his guests and gives the day a really good valuated. Thank you again Le Clue.
Wonderful and detailed feedback indeed, thank you for choosing Sandwich Harbour Tours for your adventure. Safe travels and see you again 😊. Uwe
Amazing day from start to finish. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, the food and drinks were great, and the whole team was friendly, professional and well organized. A special thank you to our guide Volker, who made the experience even better with his knowledge, good energy and kindness. Highly recommended.
Wonderful to hear that you had a wonderful full day tour with Sandwich Harbour Tours, thank you for your positive feedback and for choosing us for your adventure. We wish to welcome you back for another mesmerizing tour. Warm regards Uwe
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.
What a pleasure to read your review! Thank you for choosing us to be part of your Namibian adventure on both sand and sea 😊. Thanks Uwe
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.
We're so pleased that you enjoyed the experience. Sandwich Harbour has a way of leaving a lasting impression. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the scenery, the drive, and overall experience. Thanks Uwe
