A truly spectacular nature experience with the beautiful dunes and ocean. We did also see flamingos, pelicans, seals, ostrich, springbok and oryx on the tour. Great food and beverage. The guide, John, was very good and had a lot of knowledge of the area and Namibia in general.

Driver was a little late, but made up with for it with some great scenery, friendly banter, and interesting information. Shared the tour with a Swiss family, was nice to interact with people from a different country.

Had an absolutely incredible time with our guide/driver Winton, thank you for all of the attention to detail and making it a fun day! I learned a lot about the area, saw incredible views, and felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I work on a cruise ship and have been to 65 countries, and this experience was definitely one of the most striking things I’ve ever seen. Thanks for a beautiful day!

Our Guide was Johan first. Great job in showing us the Flamingoes, Pelicans, seals and other animals. Then our Guide was changed, Gerhard. I have to say with huge apologies the issue was sorted. Our Guide , Gerhard was brilliant he showed us Sandwich Harbor and the Dunes. What an incredible experience. The smoothest, safest dune experience ever. Five stars.

We had a wonderful 5 hours with Winton as he took us on an adventure of a lifetime. We saw hundreds of pink flamingoes, one of the biggest salt mines in the world and traversed up, down and over the biggest sand dunes we have ever seen. Winton was at all times a competent driver and we amazed at his skills driving in the dunes.
We were provided with a lovely lunch by the water and were really looked after. Winton was the most considerate and capable guide we could have asked for. This tour is up there with one of the best we have ever done.
The little bottle of Namibian sand was a really thoughtful memento to take home to Australia. Thank you so much.

We arrived in Namibia on the Virgin Voyages cruise ship, the Resilient Lady. We selected this tour because we weren’t sure what time we would be able to disembark when we booked. I booked this tour Online and had not received any notifications via WhatsApp, so I called the morning of to confirm and we were told to meet our guide at the port. I am definitely glad I called to confirm. Our guide, Victor, picked us up, we stopped for a bathroom break and to pick up lunch and then we set off on our tour. There were just six of us and Victor in our vehicle, which was perfect and another of the tour company’s cars accompanied our tour. Our drivers were so knowledgeable, which is important in the dunes. Victor taught us so much about the land and the country. We stopped for a yummy snack and drinks, and had an exciting drive back! Victor shared with us that Namibian Oysters are quite famous, so we ended up deciding to end our tour with an extra excursion to the Anchor! I’m so glad we booked this tour, and we’re forever grateful Victor and “the Bear” were our guides today!😍😍😍

What a delightful surprise! "Scenic Sandwich Harbor Tour" does not adequately prepare you for what a fun day you will have. First, we had a GUIDE, not a driver. We saw the difference between guides and drivers on our journey. Our guide was safe, enthusiastic and totally caring about our experience. The scenery was beyond beautiful. Every stop we made provided a unique experience or a fantastic view. The dunes were FUN! We loved the roller coaster experience of being at the top of the dune looking down. I want to add that the actual car moving/sliding down the dune felt amazingly gentle. The included snack was more than enough for a meal. It was impressive to look at and everything was delicious. It included about six different items to eat and two dessert bites. Plenty of beverages were offered, including beer and cider. The little souvenir we were able to gather, both pink and dune sand in a little bottle to take home, was a great addition. Hope that you have a wonderful experience like we had!

Superb trip to Sandwich Harbour with tour guide/driver Norman! Included pick-up and drop-off was on time and seamless, tour guide/driver Norman was professional, knowledgeable and personable! Included lunch was simply superb (selection of BBQ ribs, chicken and meats with some snacks and dessert. Cold beverages - alcoholic and non alcoholic - included), exceeded expectations!
Driving on the dunes was unreal, and I felt very safe in the hands of capable Norman! It was truly a magnificent day, from sand dunes and salt pans to flamingoes and other wildlife in the park.
Highly recommend this day trip! Company is reputable and I enjoyed my tour very much!
Bonus that I could pay by credit card en route!
