Not to be missed - This is a wonderful day tour. We saw thousands of flamingos and many seals. Driving along the beach and through the dunes was an experience not to forget with stunning views. Johannes, our guide was informative, knowledgeable and a skilled driver and we thoroughly enjoyed our day out with him

Great tour of the Sandwich harbour - The tour guide Winton was extremely enthusiastic and had a lot of knowledge about the area. After a drive through the cities we arrived at a huge plain full of flamingos. An innumerable number of flamingos danced violently to extract as much food as possible from the soil. Then we drove to the sandwich harbour, an area where the huge sand dunes turn into huge sea waves. Driving through the dunes and across the beach we saw many seals, birds of prey, jackals and goats. As the tour progressed, the dunes became higher and higher. Winton got more and more excited about riding which made it feel like we were on a roller coaster. Each time he stopped at the most beautiful viewpoints where we could look out over the sea that kissed the sand dunes. In the middle of the dunes an extensive lunch was provided and we could fill glass bottles with the sand of the dunes. A memento of a unique piece of this world. Thanks for the great tour!
