This 4-hour 4x4 adventure tour is specially designed for our clients arriving via passenger liner. You will be met & picked up at the Walvis Bay port where your cruise ship will be docking. Before heading out to Sandwich Harbour we first make a stop at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to admire the flamingos and occasionally a great white pelican, flow the Walvis Bay Salt Refiners with all its pink salt lacks. Now we are off to the Nambi Desert -Sandwich Harbour, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands. Wedging between the sea and dunes "if tides permit"; if tides forbid, surf the dunes up to the many convenient lookout spots. Lots of time are granted to explore the area as well as photograph opportunities. Finally, enjoy a light picnic lunch with some cold beverages with a natural desert backdrop, then hit the dunes for some more excitement before concluding your adventure to the Kuiseb River Delta, a dry riverbed where you can occasionally see springbok, oryx, or even ostrich.

5.00Gerhard was our tour guide and is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire area, its wildlife, plant life, sea life and all round knowledge about the dunes. Will stop for you to take pictures and answers just about any question thrown at him. A fun guy to have as your tour guide. At the food stop the dishes were beautifully displayed and ever so delicious. The entire experience was incredible. Highly recommend.

5.00Sand dunes, flamingos, Cormorants, salt reclamation and gorgeous views where sea and sand meet. These are the things you can expect on this tour. Plus, we had a wonderful guide named Gerhardus. Lunch with a local beer, soda or some wine was the top to an enjoyable 4 hour tour.

5.00On time we were welcomed by Guide Hans on the ship. A great tour with lots of information awaited us. Hans explained everything, whether about the development and modification of Sandwich Habour, the animal and plant world or salt extraction. The drive through the dunes was fantastic and we felt in good hands at all times. The picnic at the booth at the end was absolutely delicious. We can definitely recommend this tour.
Don’t miss! Excellent tour, great value

5.00Wild Space Adventure Safaris moved the time of our tour to better accommodate the time our cruise ship was in port. I received a very detailed email about where to meet them and what to expect. Our excellent guide Hans took great care of us and made sure we saw the best sights when the lighting was best for photos. He was very informative, friendly and accommodating. The tour of the dunes should not be missed if you visit Namibia. Hans made sure we got to see flamingos, seals, a jackal, springbok. He explained about the salt mine, gave a science lesson about the iron in the sand, provided a delicious lunch with champagne. We always felt safe, even driving down the steep dunes. We thought this tour was an excellent value.
