Highly Recommend Andrew for Desert & Dunes Tour
MarijaC912,,Jan 8, 2026

5.00Andrew was an absolutely outstanding guide on our Desert and Dunes tour – everything from the punctual pickup to the drop-off was perfect and seamless. He shared a wealth of interesting and engaging facts throughout the day, making the experience both fun and educational. The drive along the stunning route between the dunes and the ocean was breathtaking. What truly stood out was Andrew’s extraordinary skill behind the wheel. Navigating the very steep dunes requires real expertise, yet at no point did we feel anything but completely safe – his calm confidence and precise driving made it thrilling without ever being worrying. I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for this tour. He’s professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and simply one of the best drivers I’ve ever experienced in the dunes. Thank you, Andrew, for an unforgettable day!
Making life long memories!

5.00We had a truly wonderful experience. As Namibians, we have always known about this area and heard many stories about it, but seeing it in person was something we will never forget. Volker, our guide, has an incredible depth of knowledge and shared so much history about the area that we were not aware of before, which made the experience both interesting and fun. We were treated to breathtaking landscapes that will stay with us forever. What stood out just as much was how safe and professionally run the experience was, with clear respect for the conservation and protection of this special area. It was evident that great care is taken to preserve the environment while allowing guests to truly appreciate its beauty. This is a memory we will cherish for a lifetime.

5.00This was a very fun tour of the dunes on the coast and a nearby salt mine. The tour did go a bit over the 4 hour time advertised, but it was only about 45 minutes more. As Americans, we really enjoyed the experience.
Wonderful experience in amazing scenery!

5.00Thanks to our tourguide Stephan we had a wonderful Sandwich Harbour Tour today. We enjoyed the landscape very much, felt very safe while driving up and down the dunes, asked a lot of questions (even our two boys constantly talked with Stephan) and got interesting answers. We would recommend this 7h tour, because you have enough time for stops and photos. The lunch was delicious and we all were happy. Thanks a lot, Stephan!
Great experience

5.00Our guide was LeClue that day. He has a lot of knowledge about everything we were interested in and shared his knowledge with us all day. We really liked it. The view at Sandwich Harbour was fantastic, and the little lunch at the most beautiful vantage point was the cherry on the cream.

5.00What an amazing tour with the most amazing tour guide Ferdie. We started our trip in walvis bay, and all along our journey our tour guide told us to much of this beautiful country around us. We were even treated with a lavish lunch on top of the dunes with the most spectacular view. I would definitely recommend this trip, and if you are blessed enough to have ferdie tell him Nadene from Namibia says “hello!”
Excellent
