What To Expect
A half day 4x4 adventure excursion departing from Walvis Bay at 08H30 or at 13H00 to the Sandwich Harbour Area after a short break at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to view some flamingos and salt works, you will proceed to the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok may be seen. Beautiful dunes will have to be crossed to get to Sandwich Harbour. If weather and tides allow, you will drive right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands. If our vehicles cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour because of the tides, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots and will have the time to walk and explore the Sandwich Harbour Area. Lots of time are granted for photograph. A light picnic lunch with some cold beverages in the breathtaking scenery can be expected before returning through the dunes for some more adventure.

5.00Beautiful landscape with dunes falling into the ocean. Very well organized excursion, expert guide. But the place has become very touristy with too many 4x4s roaming the dunes
Visit that became an experience

5.00A highly recommended tour. Our Guide who was called Marius has a lot of experience and drives great. We always feel maximum security. He explained a lot of things about the country, the dunes, the fauna... you can see that he is passionate about what he does and knows how to transmit it. He showed us the colors of sand, metals, dunes flowing into the sea... he drove for fun like a roller coaster. In the end he offered us a picnic that was very delicious, chocolates, beer... We had a great time and learned a lot. We will always thank you for the amazing afternoon you put us through.

5.00Great tour and shout out to our awesome guide Gerhard! He was super friendly and made the tour that much more enjoyable. The tour was a mix of great views, animals, good picnic lunch, and of course the iconic views of the dunes and ocean. A must do in the area.
A perfect tour

5.00We had such a great time on this half-day tour of Sandwich Harbour and the sand dunes. The flamingos were amazing! Our guide, Gabby, was so friendly and knowledgeable. She definitely knew how to drive the dunes! The tour also included a snack, but it was more like a full lunch. So delicious! A perfect day in Walvis Bay!
Fantastic :-)

5.00Marius was very knowledgeable and informative. We had many questions about the culture and history of Namibia, and he was a great person to talk to. Although the weather was foggy, he made sure to show us great views from various viewpoints. We enjoyed a little picnic with sparkling wine that he had prepared for us. Sandwich Harbor, where the sand dunes meet the ocean, is a spectacular place that will remain as a very precious memory for us. Towards to the end, he drove up and down the dunes just for the fun of a rollercoaster ride, which was really, really FUN! He mentioned that he offers customized tours around Namibia (and neighboring countries) too, as many clients prefer to travel on their own without guides. However, his company takes care of route planning, accommodations, permits, and guides (where there is no public access without a licensed operator). We wish we had more time to enjoy this lovely country. I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Namibia! ;) 나미비아 뿐 아니고 아프리카와 세계 전반의 역사와 문화에 관심과 지식이 굉장히 많은 마리우스 아저씨는 궁금한점이 많은 우리의 질문에 모두 답해주셨고, 덕분에 좋은 대화를 나눌수 있었습니다. 안개가 많이 낀 날이었음에도, 모래산과 바다가 만나는 곳, 샌드위치 하버에서의 멋진 풍경은 정말 소중한 추억으로 남을겁니다. 샌드위치 하버 말고도, 나미비아 전역과 근처 나라들까지 가는 가이드 없는 커스터마이징 투어도 경로, 캠핑장/숙소, 퍼밋등 기획해주신다니 나미비아 방문하시는 분들께 적극추천합니다!!

5.00I had the Sandwich harbor tour. I had limited time and asked for the tour for 3 hours and it was way beyond expectations. Why 5 stars? 1. Marius and Chantal complemented with knowledge and fun stories. They know how to make the experience memorable. Most friendly and personable guides one can have. 2. They took me to the most picturesque spots in the dunes-many of them. It definitely helps that Marius takes good pictures as well in addition to being a great dune driver. 3. Although I expected to see only the dunes, Marius added so much more- birds, salt making, sand composition, young dune formation, geological facts etc. Chantal added many facts and provided a lot of information about great spots in Namibia and other African countries. They are very professional tour organizers experienced in providing tours to solo and large groups. I can’t think of how any other tour company can beat Wild Space Adventures. Highly recommended!
