Amazing landscape and wildlife - Jaques showed us the amazing variety of the nearby landscape and gave us an impressive view on this beautiful piece of country. We had really enough time to experience dune 7 and watch the wildlife including thousands of seals and flamingos. On top he put a more than delicious picnic with home made culinary specialties and a glass of champagne, beer or softdrinks. For me and my wife this was definitely the best excursion during our 4 months cruise around the world. Booking and payment went smoothly without any problem, perfect contact policy with customer.

The best tour ever! Insane amount of emotions... - We (my friend and I) went on this half-day tour accompanied by Jacquie. Easily, one of the best tours ever...He was so friendly, knowledgeable, telling us very interesting facts and stories about beautiful places we visited. We were amazed with every single location, probably more and more, as the tour progressed towards Donkey’s Bay. Landscapes are breathtaking, almost no people anywhere (but seals!), at some point you give up taking pictures because it doesn’t capture the beauty of very special Welvis Bay. Don’t even think twice - go with Red Dune Safaris (when we come back to Namibia, we’re definitely reaching out to them). p.s. delicious picnic with home-made food. Thanks so much!!!

A lovely varied interesting day with a very pleasant guude - We were picked up punctually from the comfortable Langholme hotel by Evert of Awesome Chapters.He showed us the huge flocks of greater and lesser flamingos along the shores of the lagoon.We also saw pelicans. Thereafter a thrilling 4x4 drive to the dunes with time for a climb up dune 7. The contrast of the colours of the desert sands against the startling blue sky is breathtaking in perfect weather. We then were driven across sand dunes to view the salt works . Evert was attentive to our needs. We enjoyed a light lunch refreshment on the beach near the lighthouse close to a/wreck. We saw seals and a passing jackal. A 10 out of 10 tour

Great tour! - We did the Walvis Bay tour. It was a very nice tour, we’ve seen a lot of beautiful animals like: seals, flamingo's and jackhals and climbed dune 7. The guide was friendly, chill, explained well and relax. We were taken care for nicely and the homemade snacks were a delight!

An Excellent Cruise Shore Excursion! - We were very pleased today with our guided tour of the highlights of Walvis Bay. The guides waited for six of us, as our cruise ship was delayed one hour, without complaint. We enjoyed a climb of Dune 7 (bare feet recommended, but the sand is often hot!), and a tour of many stops for sightseeing and wildlife (birds including flamingos, seals, jackals), as well as a stop for souvenirs at the end. A small lunch was provided (and appreciated) , but given the desert heat, veggies were limited. The guides were very attentive to our comfort, offering water and other refreshments frequently. It was all we had hoped for--a nice introduction to Walvis Bay, Namibia, and the desert.

Outstanding and varied day!! - We booked a combination of a morning excursion by boat in the bay and a 4x4 drive towards Sandwich Harbour in the afternoon. Excellent day: we saw dolphins, seals, pelicans and even a whale from the boat. During the 4x4 trip, Jacques was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide and showed us the salt refinery, the dunes, explained about the fauna and provided us with a delicious snack (prepared by his mom!) & drinks.
One of the smaller tour operators in the area, but personal service and therefore highly recommended!

Recommended - An outstanding day - This tour is one of the highlights of almost 7 weeks of travelling - a fantastic day which was even more than expected. JP was waiting for us as arranged. As there were only two participants his wife came as well which added to the feeling of being out for a day of fun with friends who knew the area. Dune 7 climb was great, as were the amazing flamingos and seals. While the 4-wheel driving and salt deposits were not reasons for choosing this tour I'm so glad they were included. The snacks (!) prepared by JP's wfe were fresh, delicious and plentiful. JP was flexible in extending the time at locations we were particularly enjoying and he provided all the information we could want. He had us back at the wharf as promised after sharing an outstanding day full of varied experiences with us. A professional and fun guide. Thank you.

Wonderful excursion including the salt flats then across the sand dunes to Pelican Point to view the bird life and many, many seals close at hand and even a couple of jackals, topped off with an al fresco lunch with chilled champagne.</p>

Assigned to wrong excursion - Our group of six were placed in the wrong excursion. The guide Kobus was not aware until we stopped for lunch when I showed him that lunch included. He contacted his company and they us a $10 allowance for lunch. The excursion was to also include beverages and light refreshments; Koby’s offered us a bottle of water once. I was hoping to get close to Dune Number 7; only managed a distant photo over railroad tracks. I was hoping to see native animals; only shown rocks and plants. We totally missed Dorob National Park and Walvis Bay Waterfront both of which included prepaid admission.
