Fantastic Experience - Amazing day tour with Le-cleu our guide who was so knowledgeable, funny and good vibes. He planned out our day very well to avoid the crowds and queues as well. Absolute worth the time and money! Sandwich harbour views and kayaking with seals are such great experience. Highly recommend.

Great experience, a must do - Had a great time with Leclue, I wasn’t sure what to expect but the communication for pickup was good and you get to do a lot, yet it doesn’t feel too rushed. The seal kayaking and dune drive were both amazing experiences I consider a must do in the area. We definitely wouldn’t have been able to do the dune drive ourselves and he got us to some amazing spots in sandwich harbour and also some different stops to see the flamingos and other parts of the area. Plenty of drinks available and the breakfast/lunch was good-quality food. Also, not a huge group. It was just us and another couple for the morning kayaking (obviously a lot of different groups will be at the kayaking spot) and just us and a self-driving couple for the dune tours, so feels personal

Fantastic Day Tour with an Excellent Guide - We had a fantastic day tour and truly enjoyed every moment of it. Our tour guide, Volker, shared a great deal of interesting and insightful information about the town, the culture, daily life in Namibia, and the main sights. The tour was extremely informative and well organized.
We were especially lucky that Volker happened to speak our native language, so he guided us in German, which made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. As there were only two of us, it turned out to be a private tour, which was absolutely perfect.
We had a lot of fun and can highly recommend this tour to everyone. If you are visiting the area, be sure to book a tour with Desert, Dunes & Dust Tours.

Amazing combo tour with seals, dunes & an excellent guide - Even if I saw the positive reviews before, all over exceeded our expectations ! We did the Seal Kayaking + Sandwich Harbour 4x4 combo tour starting near Walvis Bay, and it was an absolutely fantastic day.
The seal kayaking was incredible, with playful seals swimming right around our kayaks, plus great explanations about the lagoon, flamingos, and local wildlife along the way. The Sandwich Harbour part was impressive... thrilling dune driving, stunning views where the desert meets the ocean, and a real sense of adventure (I felt like I was in an action movie), all while feeling completely safe.
A special thank you to Volker, our guide and driver... knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and fun. He shared fascinating geological and historical insights and made the whole day both exciting and educational.
Highly recommended if you want wildlife, adventure, and unforgettable scenery in one day.

Highly Enjoyable Tour with a Skilled Driver - We had the pleasure of being with our driver, Le Clue, for both the seal kayaking and the desert drive. He was extremely social and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He had a great deal of knowledge about everything we wanted to see, and even when we asked very random questions, he never had any problem answering them. His enthusiasm and expertise truly added to the overall experience.

Gratis day! - We started the day with the drive trough the sand dunes of Sandwich Harbour. You could tell that our guide was very skilled driving trough the loose sand. We had a really nice time! The guide Leclue did also tell a lot of interesting facts about the harbour.
In the afternoon we finished our day kayaking inbetween the seals at pelican point. What a wonderfull experience! Thanks to our guide Leclue!

Carful with this company. They are likely to cancel and ruin your trip! - Booked via TripAdvisor. Cancelled the night before and only after I enquired about pickup location. Very annoyed as had to find a more reputable company last moment. More annoying is that i saw their cars the next day doing a trip!!
