Seals & Sandwich Harbour Dune Drive

Tour Overview

Join us on our Seals and Sandwich Harbour Adventure Tour, blending a visit to Pelican Point's legendary seal colony with the breathtaking Sandwich Harbour dune experience. Starting in Walvis Bay, our route unfolds with intriguing facts about the Ramsar wetlands of the Walvis Bay Lagoon and the Pink Lakes of the Saltworks.

Witnessing 54 bird species — including Flamingos, Pelicans, Turnstone, Avocets, Sandpipers, Plovers, and Terns — we head north to Pelican Point's 50,000-strong Cape Fur Seal colony. Amidst diverse birdlife, spot black-backed Jackals and Brown Hyena tracks. Get close to photograph, smell, and hear these animals, perhaps finding Sammy, the elusive seal. The historic lighthouse stands out amidst colossal ships in the bay.

Continuing south on a sandy route over expansive dunes, past dilapidated houses of yesteryear, we ascend towering dunes for a heart-stopping roller coaster ride to the unexpected lush wetland scenery of Sandwich Harbour. Discovering a tranquil spot, we serve a light lunch amidst the quietude and vastness, unravelling the little-known history and geology. The exhilarating dune drive takes us searching for animals through towering dunes, salt pans, and back onto sandy shores.

This full-day tour includes park fees, complimentary pick-up, and light refreshments. Price on request — please contact us.
