Great sandwich Harbour tour - We went with willem as a guide and he was absolutely fantastic. We were lucky enough to have a vehicle with him all to ourselves and he made great conversation as well as telling us fascinating facts about the surroundings. He was safe, calm, and definitely knew how to make sure we had the most fun possible! Willem was an absolute legend of a guide and we would do the tour again next time we’re in walvis bay just to tour with him a second time! Thanks Willem for your kind hospitality and thoughtful facts!

Amazing experience - you have to do it! - Went on the Sandwich Harbour drive this morning with Volker and had a fantastic time. The scenery is absolutely incredible and we felt in good hands driving on the dunes with Volker which is not for the feint-hearted! Volker was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the general area so patiently answered all our questions. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip and we would highly recommend Volker and Desertdunesdust-tours.com. Thank you Volker!

Memorable Sandwich Harbour - We had chosen the 1/2 day formula for the excursion in the Sandwich Harbour dunes by 4x4! Delano picked us up at our accommodation, is from there a great day started. Flamingos, lagoon, dunes and ocean everything was on the rendezvous! Not to mention the great breakfast with your feet in the water. On the way back to the dunes, we could see Springboks and Oryx. Again thank you Delano, he is a very good guide and a very beautiful person! We had an amazing day and will remember it.

4x4 self drive Sandwich Harbour - Dennis is your man! - We just came back from the best day trip to sandwich harbour, a fantastic half day spent with Dennis exploring Namibias gems. Dennis made the trip an absolute delight - not only was he a fun, highly experienced driver, he also brought the group together and even our 4 year old had a blast. If you’re thinking about a self drive or tour through Sandwich Harbour, Dennis is your man. You don’t meet guides with such genuine passion for their job, such skill and heartwarming personalities often!

Best adventure ever - Best Adventure ever! We had so much fun with the guides, they are all such cool dudes. We have been the only selfdrivers and the guides have been very helpful and relaxed. We had great lunch at the beach and the whole day was really easy going with lots of adventure. We dont know Uwe but we can recommend to ask for Winton or Willem!

Spectacular and fascinating dune landscapes - A spectacular experience! We (mother and daughter) booked the half-day tour and were picked up after our seal boat trip in Walvis Bay, which worked out great. Our guide Volker was great, we had great conversations and he could tell us a lot of background knowledge. We started with the Flamingo lagoon: What a spectacle! So beautiful to look at! The way led us past the salt production sites including photo tops and Volker told us interesting background information! After that the highlight began, we drove into the incredible dune landscape right next to the Atlantic Ocean. The runway ran right next to the sea, incredible views offered us, sensational. We drove up and down dunes (what fun) and enjoyed the fascinating dune landscape combined with the wild Atlantic Ocean and enjoyed the panoramic views of Sandwich Bay, Kuiseb Delta and the endless dune landscapes! We took several photo tops so we could take incredible photos home. In the middle of the dunes overlooking a whale in the Atlantic Ocean, Volker set up a rich and delicious picnic. Afterwards we went past antelopes back to Walvis Bay, where we dropped off our 2 fellow Americans. Volker then kindly took us to Swakop. Many thanks to Volker and the entire team for this wonderful experience!
