4.9 / 5 · 63 traveler reviews
This Marine Dune day will be the highlight of your Namibia Tour. The Catamaran Dolphin and seal cruise is very popular added with the Sandwich harbor Dune drive, is the best Namibia has to offer. Its a full day, its a lot of information to absorb, but its absolutely worth it. Our guides are knowledgeable and careful, skilled dune drivers. Safety is important. We love what we do and how we do it is transparent in our reviews. Would be great having you on Tour with us. This tour is a Walvis bay Tour
Your experience
Stop 1
The Catamaran Cruise departs at 08h30 from the Waterfront and returns about 12h00. Enroot to the see will Pelicans Seals and often Dolphins. On a good day we could spot the Sunfish ( Mola Mola) and even Whales ( in the whaling season). Some times Pelicans fly real close and we stop at the seal colony to view the 50000 strong seal colony from the sea. Snacks are served on the Catamaran. We return to the waterfront where we are met by our Sandwichharbourtours.com guide who takes us out to Sandwich Harbor. Time to embark and disembark the Catamaran is not included in the time ( this takes about 20 minutes)
Stop 2
From the Waterfront we proceed to the Esplanade and stop at the Pink Flamingos we drop the air of our tyres and go past the Pink Salt lakes on our way along the shore to the towering Dunes of Sandwich Harbor. Past windswept dunes and and array of seabirds. We may see Seals and jackal.
Stop 3
We drive past the Walvis Bay Lagoon, the Pink salt lakes of the Salt Mine and onto the shore , along the beach south for 60km. We encounter many bird species, migratory and others, Flamingos, Pelicans Avocet, Terns and many more, along the way. We enter the Namib Naukluft Park and onto the towering Dunes of Sandwich Harbor. We drive along the 'Lange Wand,' where Sea meets Dunes, only a narrow strip of beach to travel on, so tide is very important. We have the most stunning Dune views. Its a rollercoaster ride up to the view point and the most beautiful site unfolds at your feet. after enjoying the wonderful Dune views we head back through the dunes. We go to various viewpoints, have short dune walks and look about. Its absolutely amazing. Its awesome! Have a light lunch at some awesome spot along the route. We search for what wild life the Desert has along a small game drive. We head back onto the beach and the way we came to Walvis Bay and drop you at your Cruise liner or Hotel
