What are people saying about Walvis Bay

Denise_R, May 2026

Great adventure into the oldest desert

Unusual and great experience in the world’s oldest desert. Our guide Leon gave us insight into this vast place. He opened my eyes to the different types of deserts and what made everything look the way it does. It was great to stop in several places and really feel the ground and the atmosphere. Lunch and snack were excellent. We saw ostriches, ground squirrels and springbok. It’s a truly unique day.

Enjoyable, well run tour

Sand dunes, flamingos, Cormorants, salt reclamation and gorgeous views where sea and sand meet. These are the things you can expect on this tour. Plus, we had a wonderful guide named Gerhardus. Lunch with a local beer, soda or some wine was the top to an enjoyable 4 hour tour.

Thrilling 4-Wheel Drive Adventure!

This is an incredible, especially if you are visiting on a cruise ship! For people of all ages and physical mobility since most of the time you are riding in a vehicle. The scenery is impressive, the ride up and down the dunes is thrilling and the lunch buffet was amazing! Our driver/guide, Leon, was incredibly knowledgeable of the area, the dunes, animals and birds, so the ride was not only fun, it was informative. Less than a half-hour from the port to the sands and seaside. In addition to lunch, MC Tours offers water, soda and beer at the occasional photo stops on the dunes. If you are looking for an exceptional experience without the cruise ship excursion markup, this is one you should strongly consider!

Experience the desert from the ocean

A pleasant experience, well worthwhile. Expect to see seals, dolphins and pelicans from close-up. Knowledgeable crew, great snacks and drinks, and being out on the ocean provides for a unique experience. The desolation of the desert is visible from a boat on the ocean.

A great shore excursion

We booked the Sandwich Harbour tour as it was much cheaper than the shore excursions being offered by our cruise line and it did not disappoint. The pick up and drop off at the port was smooth and on time while the vehicles were comfortable and well maintained (they didn’t squeeze too many into the 4x4s). Our driver/guide was CJ and he was brilliant, as were all the other drivers from the company we interacted with at the stops. They take you to cool spots and show you how to get the best pictures.

Classic Sandwich Harbor Experience Full Day

Lynn_J, Feb 2026

Full day Sandwich Harbour

A wonderful day travelling along the beach and into the Sandwich Harbour and dunes, with great guide. For those arriving by cruise ship, the guide, Uwe, met us harborside. We drove out of Walvis Bay stopping to see flamingos, pelicans and the salt lakes. We continued along the beach and up into the sand dunes, stopping at a number of incredible viewpoints. Along the beach we saw lots of cormorants and seals. In the dunes, Uwe pointed out the tracks of hyenas. He suggested we take off our shoes to enjoy the feeling of sand between our toes. He dropped us off at the top of the dunes and we climbed/slid down barefoot. We stopped for drinks and lunch, a selection of meats, samosas, cheese with cake and sweet deserts, very enjoyable. On our return route, we drove through the bush where we saw Oryx and Springboks. Returning to Walvis Bay, we stopped again the see the pelicans and flamingos and also saw a jackal wandering along the beach, searching for mussels etc. Uwe was very knowledgeable and we had a great day out with him. Highly recommend this trip.

Lisa_P, May 2025

The best way to spend a morning!

Sooooooo manyyyyyyy seals - even if you’ve seen seals or been in the water with them…..not this many! We were on a cruise and the company had good communication, transport and timing. SJ was a wealth of info and v interesting chap himself - ask him questions should you be lucky enough to have him as your driver! The experience was priceless. I’m coming back as a walvis bay Namibian seal if there is reincarnation cause it’s all about playing eating and sleeping :)
