5Exhilarating driving, spectacular views - not to be missed!
We (two couples is separate cars) had an awesome morning of desert creatures, interesting facts, dune driving and incredible views. We learnt plenty about dune driving - it is somewhat harder but way more fun doing it yourself! Thanks for all the assistance when we got stuck or struggled, and none of us will ever forget cresting and driving down that last dune! We would all recommend it to anyone!
5Just sublime
Absolutely amazing, JP was not in a rush, showed us wildlife, gave us a lot of time climping the dunes and made sure that we came also good back home while ma manovering perfectly through the sand dunes. 💯! Cannot get any better.
5Adventure, historical, eco, animal (small and big) all in one tour!
Such a good experience, excellent guiding with so much information. The gecko exploration at the start of the tour was so cool. Thrilling, safe experience with the self-drive. JP is a beast!
5Must for every one that likes to drive dunes safely
Very cool tour! Nice and professional guided that give you all the confidence to drive safely in the dunes and the beach. Also very knowledgeable about wildlife and area :) highly recommend!
5Great People
Great people, easy to arrange our tour. Value for money. Tour was not rushed and had a nice picnic. Thanks JP/Martin I was a trip to remember!
5Awesome Experience!
Had a fantastic experience with Martin as our guide on a self drive tag along tour yesterday. This was something that has been on my bucket list for many years, and the trip down to Sandwich harbour via the beach and then back across the dunes was stunning! Martin was a great guide with a good sense of humour and great knowledge of the area and the wildlife. Nothing felt rushed and he just went with the flow of our 4 person, 2 vehicle group. The lunch provided was also delicious and they also catered for the 2 vegans in our group. I’d highly recommend this trip to any avid 4wders. It’s an experience of a life time.

About Walvis Bay
Walvis Bay, on the Atlantic coast of Namibia, is a port town where the Namib Desert meets the sea, with a lagoon full of flamingos.
Walvis Bay is Namibia's main port, set on a sheltered bay with a lagoon where large flocks of flamingos and pelicans feed, and desert dunes begin at the edge of town. Cold water from the Benguela Current brings fog and a cool, dry climate, and rain is rare. South Africa administered the town until 1994, when it became part of Namibia.
