To the Moon and Beyond - This was our second tour with Red Dune Safaris. Our ship was late getting into port but JP and Martin still managed to pick us up at the new berth and give us a full tour. The scenery was amazing and we learned a lot about Namibia. Would highly recommend.

Amazing jam packed tour well worth seeing - After our cruise ship was refusing entry to the Harbour due to strong swells, we finally docked at the cargo section. The harbour would not allow us to disembark! Luckily I corresponded with JP through what’s app and we could keep each other informed of the progress. After many hours delay we were finally allowed to disembark with JP ready and waiting. JP managed to squeeze everything thing with the exception of shopping in Swakopmund. It was fantastic and amazing landscape so different to anything seen before. Well done JP

All the best bits in one well-organised package. - An enjoyable day with a varied mix of attractions. The visit to the oasis was very interesting and the restaurant there was remarkably cheap considering it is the only one for thirty miles in each direction. Our driver/guide was friendly and informative. Dune 7 is over-rated.

Outstanding Walvis Bay Shore Excursion - Four of us were treated to an outstanding shore excursion with a wonderful guide named Vincent. Vincent grew up in Namibia & shared his rich knowledge of the culture, terrain, and local history. We started with a photo op of flamingos at the shore, and, after a short drive, we were already surrounded by sand and dunes. Of course, we stopped at the famous Dune 7 where Vincent encouraged us to climb all or part of it if we desired, but our group was content with picture taking. We traveled to the "moon landscape" with its beautiful hills and dark-ish craters; it was a bit eerie to behold. I enjoyed the Goanikontes Oasis where we stopped for a break, a beer (on our own), and a couple souvenirs. The Oasis seemed like a holdover from a more relaxed and simpler time. We proceeded to Swakopmund via an unmarked route known to Vincent which allowed more chances to take in the landscape. Swakopmund is a lovely seaside town with swimming, boating, and nice restaurants & shops. Time to return to our ship after a splendid day! Thank you, Vincent!

Average tour with lots of driving. - Pick up from Port on time. Saw what was advertised but nothing more. 10 seat vehicle was rough and Guide didn't turn on air con so windows were down and smell of fuel strong inside. Minimal commentary could not be heard as no microphone and truck noisy. Lunch at Oasis was tasty and a welcome break, with a badly needed toilet available. Was not good the Guide added to one of our lunch orders and didn't offer to pay... we would have offered but he expected it ! After speaking with people who did other tours we would not recommend this tour or guide. Basic and we felt Guide was disinterested.
