• 5Fantastic tour with Kevin !

  Excellent tour, our guide was Kevin and he was superb! Took us to the most amazing spots, was extremely patient when we wanted more time to explore places and was very knowledgeable and told us interesting facts about the places we were visiting.

• 4Sandwich Harbour & Dunes

  My friends & I enjoyed this scenic & fun experience. The lunch, with bubbles, was very nice. The drivers are very professional & experienced. The return trip through the dunes is quite thrilling. To note for future people booking the afternoon trip, is that the "lunch" isn't until about 3:30pm. Also check on tide times, because at near high tide, the vehicles can't get all the way along the beach and the tour stops short of Sandwich Harbour. The other important thing to note is the seating arrangement of thier Toyota Fortunars. They carry up to 7 passengers. The primo seat is up front, next to the driver. Obviously, you have way better views & photo opportunities here. The next best are the outside seats in the next row, where you're by a large window that opens. If you're in the back row or middle seat of 2nd row, your experience isn't as good (if I'd been seated here for whole time my rating would have been 2-3). You & your companions need to set up a roster to take turns & swap around at stops.

• 1Reckless Driving

  Unfortunately, my experience was apparently different, very different from most others, and although I don't like to give bad reviews, I'm making an exception here for the following reason (which in my opinion merits one star): Our driver was driving (I looked at the speedometer) at over 110 km/h on wet sand, which is completely reckless, possibly - but this is speculation on my part - because we were running late (we were supposed to be at the office at 7:40 a.m., but it didn't open until 8:30 a.m.) and had to arrive at Sandwich Harbour in time for low tide. No one in the vehicle felt safe, and in my opinion, he almost caused the vehicle to tip over at one point, or maybe he just wanted to scare us in a dangerous prank. I had to yell at him to slow down shouting there were (our) kids on board and I was serious. Either way, it's not acceptable or professional behavior. I signed up for a Namib desert tour and not Paris-Dakar. The other driver, who drove as fast as our driver, only wore flip-flop sandals while driving, again not something that inspires confidence. Just to add (pre-empting comments that I might be too timid): As an avid downhill mountain biker and freeride skier, with the accidents and injuries to match, I'm not easily scared especially not by speed. In addition, but for this I would not have bothered to write a review, 15 years ago, my wife and I took a similar tour (without children at the time) from Swakopmund to Sandwich Harbour, where we had a professional wildlife guide who told us a lot about the wildlife in the Namib and showed and described various animals and plants to us. There was nothing comparable here. There were hardly any explanations, just more or less standard phrases.

• 5Must do activity

  The guide was very informative and funny. We learnt a lot and spotted a few animals. The drive on the dunes was a fun brought out an inner child in us.

• 5Great fun.

  It was extreme experience and great fun. Our guide, Obie(?), was an one of the best driver and had a knowledge of sand dune. We experience two flat tyres and one rescue another vehicle. But came back safely on time. Highly recommend. 🤣

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.
