I loved the fact that we got out there early before it started being crowded. Well done Dennis on that aspect. Pristine. - What a thrilling adventure being out there with Dennis on his second day at work 😃😃. Stef and I couldn’t stop talking about the dune rides and even the trip over to Sandwich Harbor. Dennis is an amazing Guide, fun to be with and very interactive too. Just the little details for me made my day trip successful. I didn’t have to see the Seals to make me happy, just being on that ride was great fun. Will be back soon.

Excellent tour guide and a good excursion - I liked how our guide Winton took care of us. When ever we wanted to stop and take pictures he would stop ad take us pictures since it was our honey moon. He taught us about the animals that live in the desert. We had conversations along the way and some good jokes. He's dune driving skills where really great. Shout out to Winton 👏

Sensational seal and dune tour - We were allowed to experience a sensational seal and dune tour with our guide Volker. In the morning we went to the seals (Cape Fur Seals) near Walvis Bay. The ride was already very entertaining as Volker told many facts and stories about the area, the animals and the story. Kayaking between the seals was a "once in a lifetime" experience. It's incredible to be so close to the wildlife. Well supplied with drinks and delicious finger food, we then continued to Sandwich Harbour in the dunes. Impressive landscapes, professional off-road driving, other beautiful wildlife encounters (flamingos, pelicans, springboks, oryx antelopes, jackals). The tour was top organized, exciting, educational, entertaining, impressive, beautiful. And we laughed a lot with Volker and Stefan. Sensational guides with heart and love for country and nature. Anytime again!

Sandwich Harbour tour with Hannes - It was a must to see Sandwich Harbour, so we booked easy through our hotel and got picked up there and brought back home. Our guide Hannes was super nice and brought a lot of interesting information about his country and our questions! He made the dune drive so adventurous and yet still feeling safe at any time! Would recommend, ask for Hannes, it will be worth it :)

Great experience out on the dunes. - Our trip with desert and dunes was just amazing!!! After Namibia having the biggest rainfall in 25 years we were worried we wouldn’t be able to go out, but our experienced driver Gerrit was just great and made the experience really worth while.

Highlight of a Namibia trip - We booked the tour in March 25. We were unlucky enough that it was raining the entire day at that time, which is extremely unusual. Our guide Volker asked us in the morning if we want to do the tour anyway. We didn't regret it. On the kayak tour you get up close and personal with the seals. They come within half a meter of the boat and swim in the bow wave. The 4x4 tour was amazing. You really have to think of it like a roller coaster ride, as you ride the dunes with up to 100 things. Pure adrenaline. The food was also good. Volker also shared a lot of information about the history of Swakupmund and Walvis Bay. The tour was worth it for us, even if the weather severely limited the view in the dunes. If we come to the corner again, we will do the tour again.
