Two grandiose adventure tours - In the morning we three elderly Germans were picked up on time at our hotel in Swakopmund and taken to the catamaran in Walvis Bay. The weather was perfect and we could observe many animals. A seal and pelicans even got on the boat! Much has been explained about the way the animals live. At noon there was a very delicious picnic. It was an all-round great ride! Afterwards, our driver Dennis was already waiting for the dune ride. He spoke a very understandable English for us. The drive along the water and then up and down through the dunes was terrific, although it was a bit scary at first! But Dennis was driving so confidence-boosting that it was soon a blast. A delicious picnic was served on the waterfront near Sandwich Harbour. Both tours were a highlight of our Namibia trip!

We had a great day! - We had a great day! In the morning we did a Catamaran Cruise. This was a quiet boat trip in the bay. We saw many seals and dolphins. The guides on board were able to teach us a lot about the area and the animals. We were given drinks and snacks, which was nice. There were also blankets on board. It is still cold in the morning, so that came in handy. In the afternoon we did the Sandwich Harbour Dune Drive. Our guide, Volker, was really great. He made this day unforgettable for us! He taught us a lot about the beautiful area. He spoke enthusiastically and passionately, and completely drew us into the magic. We enjoyed ourselves for hours, just like children in an amusement park. Our sincere thanks to Volker for the fantastic experience. We will talk about this for a long time! We were given some tasty snacks and several drinks in the afternoon. Finally, we also received a nice souvenir: a bottle to fill with the sand from the dunes. A nice gift. Thank you!

Combi-Tour with Gerhard - We booked the combi-tour and really enjoyed it. On the boat we saw a lot of seals and some pelicans even landed on board. The then following sandwich harbour tour with Gerhard was a really cool experience. He picked us up from our hostel in Swakobmund and was really kind. We had a lot of fun when he drove up and down the dunes and brought us to the most scenic points. I would always book this experience again and suggest it highly.

Will do it again - We, my husband and I went with family members from Germany. We did not know what to expect but it could not have been better. The whole day was amazing. From the start, we enjoyed every moment. The employees on the boat tour were friendly and knowledgeable. A highlight was the Desert-Dunes at Sandwich Harbour. We had the best driver you can wish for. Gerhard was so confident around the Dunes, we felt absolutely save with him in this hair-raising adventure, up and down the steep dunes. Highly recommended !!!!

Must do trip - It was an unforgettable experience. If you decide to go on the cruise tour, make sure to wear layers; even with the blankets provided, it was still quite cold. Aside from that, everything was fantastic. After the cruise, we made our way to Sandwich Harbour. The drive there felt like a scene from a Mad Max movie, which was quite entertaining! Our driver, Uwe, provided a lot of interesting information about the region and ensured a safe journey. We stopped at scenic viewpoints, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and marveled at the stunning dunes and expansive ocean views. We had a fantastic time throughout the trip and highly recommend Uwe and their day tours.
