• Walvis Bay Waterfront - The Catamaran Cruise sets sail at 08:30 from the Waterfront and returns around 12:00. Along the way, passengers can see pelicans, seals, and often dolphins. On a fortunate day, there might be sightings of the Sunfish (Mola Mola) and even whales during the whaling season. Occasionally, pelicans fly very close, and the cruise stops at the seal colony to observe the 50,000-strong seal population from the sea. Snacks are provided on the Catamaran. Upon returning to the waterfront, a guide from Sandwichharbourtours.com will take guests to Sandwich Harbor. The time for embarking and disembarking the Catamaran is not included in the tour duration (this takes about 20 minutes).

• Walvis Bay Esplanade - From the Waterfront, the tour proceeds to the Esplanade, stopping at the Pink Flamingos. The air in the tires is adjusted before passing the Pink Salt lakes on the way along the shore to the towering dunes of Sandwich Harbor. The journey includes views of windswept dunes and a variety of seabirds, with possible sightings of seals and jackals.

• Sandwich Harbour - The drive continues past the Walvis Bay Lagoon, the Pink Salt lakes of the Salt Mine, and onto the shore, traveling south along the beach for 60 km. Many bird species, both migratory and resident, such as flamingos, pelicans, avocets, terns, and more, can be seen along the way. The tour enters the Namib Naukluft Park and approaches the towering dunes of Sandwich Harbor. The drive along the ‘Lange Wand,’ where the sea meets the dunes, offers only a narrow strip of beach to travel on, making the tide very important. The dune views are breathtaking. It’s a thrilling ride up to the viewpoint, where a stunning scene unfolds at your feet. After enjoying the magnificent dune views, the tour heads back through the dunes. Various viewpoints are visited, with short dune walks and exploration. It’s absolutely amazing and awe-inspiring! A light lunch is enjoyed at a scenic spot along the route. The tour searches for desert wildlife during a small game drive. The journey returns to the beach and retraces the path back to Walvis Bay, where guests are dropped off at their cruise liner or hotel.
