Fantastic day in Walvis Bay and Sandwich Harbour! Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide Leclue did an excellent job—friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We started with a kayaking tour among the seals, which was an unforgettable and unique experience. The visit to the salt works was also very interesting. Afterwards, we explored Sandwich Harbour in the national park, where the dunes meet the ocean—simply breathtaking. The dune drive was exciting and a real highlight. Overall, everything was top-notch, and we highly recommend this tour. Thanks to Leclue for making it such a special day! Would definitely book again without hesitation. Thanks a lot again Hanna&Jens from Germany

Booked the Kayak Scenic Sandwich Tour with our guide LeClue during our 6-week honeymoon in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana, and it was definitely one of the top 3 things we did on the entire trip. Full day with pickup, dropoff, brunch, lunch, drinks, dunes, flamingoes, views, and kayaking with fur seals. Unforgettable. LeClue was amazing, answering all of our questions all day and telling us plenty about the area, the animals, the history, and recommendations in town. 100% worth it.

Wow what a day out with LeClue on this wonderful tour. The kayaking with seals was simply an amazing experience and the rest of the day encouraging amazing locations and adrenaline adventure across the dunes was filled with lots of information and understanding of the environment. LeClue and his assistant Luka gave us a day not to be forgotten. If you have just one day and can do just one tour in this area, this is the one to do!!

We really had a great day with Volker. The combination with the Seal Kayak and the Sandwich Harbour Tour is great. Especially kayaking with the seals was a lot of fun! Thanks to Volker, who guided us all day long. Culinary as well as the overall experience!

Our guide LeClue picked us up on time and already told and explained a lot on the way to Walvis Bay. Kayaking on the water between the seals is great fun and the subsequent tour to Sandwich Harbour is an experience. Food is adequately provided. I had a really great day with a lot of new knowledge.

The excursion with Volker was perfectly organized from start to finish and full of highlights. The seal kayak was an absolute experience – seeing the animals up close was impressive and incredibly fun. Afterwards we continued to Sandwich Harbour, a place that really looks like it was from another world. The drive through the dunes was spectacular – fast, exciting and with breathtaking views of the desert and the Atlantic Ocean. Lunch was lovingly prepared and just the thing to fortify yourself in between. Everything was well organized and you could just enjoy the moment. Volker is a great guide – friendly, competent and with real passion for the cause. I can absolutely recommend this trip – a perfect mix of adventure, nature and relaxation. Anytime again!

We had an awesome all day tour with Volker as our guide. Kayaking with thousands friendly seals, dune bashing, a visit to Sandwich Harbor, and an impromptu game drive were highlights. Volker was a knowledgeable and experienced guide, and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip — he was the best! The scenery is stunning and the tour is a true highlight on our trip. Highly recommended tour, company, and guide.

Our guide Winton was just amazing! He is so fun and such a good driver (I’m car sick and I felt great all the time). He knows everything, ask him questions and he will for sure have the answear! The tour was magical! The experience with the seal was so fun and cute and then the magic of the sandwich harbour. Also 2 great pic nic moment (one at the beach looking the seals and one on the most beautiful panoramic spot at the sandwich harbour. Winton also saw whales in the see and let us have all the time we need every time he saw one to take picture and stay a moment to let us watch them. It was just an amazing experience. You have to do it if you are here! Truly recommended!
