Classic Sandwich Harbour Experience

Tour Overview

Undoubtedly, this tour is an absolute must-do on your Namibia holiday. Our journey through the Sandwich Harbour Dune Tour commences in Walvis Bay, with an option to pick up in Swakopmund 40 minutes earlier. Witness thousands of flamingos gracing the Walvis Bay Lagoon — the Ramsar-acclaimed wetland, home to up to 500,000 birds and 54 resident species of waders and Palearctic migrators.

Our route leads past the pink salt lakes of the expansive Salt Works and onto the sandy beach shore. Embark on a desert game drive through the !Nara Valley, seeking Oryx, Ostrich, and Springbuck amid the sparse greenery that sustains these animals. The sandy path guides us to breathtaking dune views, where the dunes meet the sea.

Ascend towering, wind-sculpted dunes for a heart-stopping, swooping roller coaster ride, revealing the unexpected lush wetland scenery of Sandwich Harbour at your feet. Discover a secluded spot to absorb the tranquillity and vastness of the dunes while relishing a light, tasty lunch with beverages. The Classic Sandwich Harbour Experience captures the emotions, feelings, and essence of the desert — a moment never to be forgotten.
