Classic Sandwich Harbour Tour

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Our tour takes us through the Ramsar Convention Walvis Bay lagoon wetlands, where up to 250,000 and 54 species of birds can be seen from time to time: Pelicans, flamingos, plovers, sandpipers, and other endemic Birds can be seen. We drop our tire air pressure and discuss the many birds.

   30 min

2. Magnificent wide open spaces as the dunes get closer to the sea. We enter where dunes meet sea on a narrow strip of beach. Awesome dune views and walks await us. We take a stomach-tingling roller coaster ride to the Sandwich harbor viewpoint. The bay is at your feet, surrounded by the Nara bush. Sandy sandbanks are awash in the bay and the green sea with blue sky and red dunes is absolutely awesome. We take a dune drive to the best views, searching for animals in the desert and looking for a unique picnic spot. Lunch with a dune view, quiet, very quiet, only us around. We have time for dune and beach walks. Our route takes us through the dunes and a game drive where we might see ostriches, oryx, jackals, and springbok. On the beach the seals may be sleeping or playing, and if we are lucky, we will see dolphins and whales. The route is back along the shores with thousands of birds. Sadly, we end up in Walvis Bay. We tank up and air up and take you back to your hotel.

• 5An unforgettable experience – an absolute must-do!

  What an incredible experience! We had an amazing day on this full-day tour with our fantastic guide, Andrew. Andrew has an impressive knowledge of nature, wildlife, and the desert. He shared so many interesting facts about the animals and landscapes we encountered along the way. On top of that, he is an excellent driver who navigated us safely and confidently through the dunes and along the ocean. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience was unforgettable. This tour is an absolute must-do and definitely one of the highlights of our Namibia trip! A huge thank you to Andrew for making this day so special.

About Swakopmund

Swakopmund is a German-founded seaside town on Namibia's Atlantic coast, set between the cold ocean and the dunes of the Namib Desert.

Swakopmund was founded in 1892 as the main port of German South West Africa, and its centre still has half-timbered houses, a lighthouse and colonial buildings such as the Woermann House with its tower. A long jetty reaches into the cold Atlantic, palm-lined avenues run inland, and cafés serve German cake and coffee. The cold Benguela Current brings sea fog to the shore, so mornings are often grey even when the desert beyond is hot.

Top-ranked sights in Swakopmund: Cape Cross, Swakopmund Jetty, Namib-Naukluft National Park.
