Walvis Bay Catamaran and Dunes Tour - Warren was our driver on the dunes portion of the day. We felt very safe with him and he was very accommodating. He stopped to let us take pictures. He was very knowledgeable and informative. The food and beverages were great! The catamaran was also very good. Happiness was informative and the rest of the crew were very accommodating. The food and beverages were great! The only issue we had was with the transportation from the port to the catamaran and following the catamaran they weren’t very efficient in picking us up. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Walvis Bay.

A joyous, thrilling, exceptional excursion - Hubbie and I were fortunate enough to experience this fabulous full length day tour. We saw dolphins and seals no pelicans on Pelican Island, but a sumptuous feast on board, including oysters and champagne. The local cider and beer went down a treat too. We then went to see the flamingoes. They must have numbered thousands, but were spread out in large groups. We saw more in one place in the afternoon. Off then to see the pink lake and then we drove through the Namib Desert. Our driver Johan was exceptionally skilled at driving and very professional and took great care of us. I thought we were driving to see Dune 7, have a look and come back. But no, our dunes tour lasted about 2 and a half hours and included lunch also. The drive was terrifying, thrilling and joyous all at once. We seemed to drive vertically up and straight down at times, always in a convoy for safety. Our drive and driver exceeded all expectations. I couldn’t believe how exciting it was and Johan went out of his way to look after us. Thank you for giving us memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Great day at sea and in the dunes - Great trip, Andrew our "dune guide" did a mega job, gave a lot of information and controlled the PickUp very confidently through the very impressive dunes 👍 And.....our forgotten binoculars he also brought us to the accommodation. Very nice!! The boat trip was also very nice, but the dunes clearly topped it.

Outstanding, 5 Stars- absolute must !!! - Exceptionell, Outstanding, 5-Stars !!! The Dune drive was unbelievable- always save with well educated drivers and well maintained cars. BREATHTAKING scenery. An absolute must! The guides (ours was VOLKER- German & English speaking. Very skilled with lots of good information and conversation) are mega friendly- taking care of everything and everybody. Looking for the best views and spectekular drives through the dunes- but always save- no risks taken. Christel, our captain 🧑‍✈️ had the same understanding of customers enrertainment and responsibility for her passengers. Very good food and fun. Summary: if you miss this- your trip to the Namibian Atlantic is incomplete !

A great day out - Had a great day with the catamaran cruise in the morning, enlivened by the on board presence of Captain Morgan, the seal and Lady Gaga, the pelican. In the afternoon we had an exhilarating drive along the coast and a fun roller coaster drive up and down the dunes with Andrew who was an excellent guide and driver. On both occasions we were served tasty snacks and drinks. A great day out.

Unforgettable day - On time we were picked up at the hotel in Swakopmund and went to Walvis Bay on the catamaran! There we were warmly welcomed by Christel and the entire crew! We have seen sea lions, pelicans, dolphins and even several humpback whales! Christel has given us a lot of interesting information about the animals with your warm and open nature! The food was excellent! A great way to start the day! After the boat trip Volker picked us up and we went first to the salt lakes, past thousands of flamingos and baby jackals! Then off to the dunes: incredible experience! Volker entertained us with his friendly and open nature at all times and above all brought us safely through the dunes! For us it was worth every penny and we would do this trip again anytime! Thanks to Christel and Volker! It couldn't be better!

An unforgettable experience - What an unforgettable day! 💙 In the morning we went with Christel on the catamaran – sun, sea and incredible wildlife: Seals and pelicans on the boat, dolphins and even whales in the water! 🐬🐋 A real natural paradise with a lot of wit, charm and an attentive crew! Then in the afternoon the absolute highlight – the Sandwich Harbour dune tour with Volker. Breathtaking views, pure adventure and a dose of desert magic! 🏜️✨ Organisation, food and atmosphere were just perfect – a day that will be remembered for a long time! 🙌 Thank you both 😎👍

An unforgettable day! - We had an all around perfect day! In the morning we went on a catamaran tour – accompanied by seals, pelicans, dolphins, and even whales. Our guide Christel was just great: humorous, warm and with a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and the region. The food on board was great and completed the experience perfectly. In the afternoon we drove through the dunes in the SUV – a real adventure! Our guide Volker was also great: very personable, funny and with lots of exciting information about the country and people. The combination of sea, animals, desert and great people made this day an unforgettable experience. Stunning landscapes, impressive photos and lots of beautiful memories – just highly recommended! 💙🐬🐳🐾
