Sammy the seal often jumps in the back of our Catamaran, and he can be photographed really close. Snacks, like Sherry, beer, coffee light finger eats and oysters are served on the Catamaran.

5.00We drove the Sandwichhotbour Tour with our guide Volker. It was an incredibly beautiful trip. The view from the dunes to the sea is breathtaking. The dune ride was pure adrenaline. Volker entertained us the ride about well and gave us interesting information about nature and economy. We can recommend this tour to anyone who comes to Namibia once.
Great places , great...

5.00We booked the full day tour and were picked up directly at the hotel in Swakopmund! First we took the catamaran for a good three-hour boat tour. We could see some whales and dolphins and of course sea lions and pelicans! The whole crew - especially Christel- was very accommodating, informative and very friendly! After that, Volker went to Sandwich Harbor! What can I say? INCOMPRESSIBLE! Great scenery, extremely nice guide ! We had an unforgettable day! Thank you for this great experience!
Unforgettable dune adventure! Riaan made the tour exceptional — professional, kind, and full of great energy.

4.00Pickup from hotel was an hour late as the driver was given the same time to pickup guests from hotels 35 km distant. Hotel staff not able to contact travel company Catamaran trip was great, saw 3 whales and then stopped in front of a seal colony - one came on board to be fed. Dune drive also very pleasurable
Skip the boat but Sandwich Harbour is highly recommended!!!

5.00We especially liked our guide LeClue during the Sandwich Harbour drive. He gave a lot of information about what to see and he is for Max Verstappen!!! The catamaran tour we found somewhat disappointing. We had to wait 1 hour with a group of 20 participants for 2 participants who were late. In our experience, the latecomers should have booked another tour. We found a seal that has to jump on the boat actually a bit fake. The whole ambiance on the boat we found substandard.
Fantastic experience

5.00We started the day with the boat trip and it was great. We saw 2 humpback whales, a pelican came on board and walked around, as did a seal. Really great. Then we went into the desert with our driver Gerhard. Fantastic views, great explanations from Gerhard (and by the way what a great driver) and a meal in the sand dunes. An absolutely marvellous day!

5.00Excellent organization for both activities. The boat trip was truly a wonderful experience among sea lions and pelicans, and then, to finish, a beautiful tour of Sandwich Harbour in the company of Winton, who turned out to be an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. See you soon! Valeria and Walter.
Amazing day at walvis bay and sandwich harbour
