Sandwich Harbour Scenic Excursion - Design for the Cruise Ships

Tannie_O, Apr 2026

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!

Seal and Dolphin Catamaran Adventure

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.

Warren was great fun and knowledgeable too!

Warren was our guide and he was remarkable. Spoke perfect English answered every question, was very knowledgeable and professional. We saw all of the things mentioned on the tour. No pressure to rush. He was such a wonderful ambassador for his nation and his employer. Would book with him again in a heart beat.

Namib Desert Landscape Tour

John_H, Mar 2026

Deep, all-day dive into the local culture, geography and wildlife.

We were on a cruise and in Namibia for a day and a half and booked this tour outside of the cruise-provided excursions. I'm glad we did as reports from those who used the cruise excursions were uninspiring compared to our own. Our guide was Leon, driving a comfortable 4x4 with only ourselves as passengers, a good arrangement as we could divert and influence the locations within the constraints of the day. Leon was very knowledgable about Namibian culture, history and the wildlife, transporting us to a waterhole, weaverbird nests and some interesting geological formations, and providing a tasty picnic midday. At the end of the day he took us a an interesting detour to look at a local town and some unique geological phenomena nearby. All told, the excursion occupied about 8 hours and we learned a lot about Namibia, as well as seeing some interesting wildlife (Springbok, a father Ostrich with a dozen 'babies', several spectacular reptiles, and (of course) some of the strange and unique Namib plants. Given that we are the only passengers and that we covered a lot of ground (well over 250 km I suspect) these kinds of trips are never going to be cheap but, in terms of value, I am sure we fared far, far better than those on the cruise who chose one of the shorter, shallower excursions with no personalisation possible. So, highly recommended!

Classic Sandwich Harbor Experience Full Day

We were greeted by our...

We were greeted by our tour guide, Winton, who was holding up a clear sign just a few paces from where we disembarked from the cruise ship - actually 30 mins early. The vehicle was a very safe comfortable and modern 4 x 4 Toyota. Winton proved to be a safe, experienced and highly skilled driver. He was very friendly and highly informative, about the country generally as well as about the history, geography, flora and fauna of the area. The tour lasted 7 hours and was worth every penny (as well as being considerably less expensive than very similar tours being touted on board by Cunard). We saw lots of birdlife including pelicans, flamingos, large flocks of cormorants, sandpipers, terns and other species. We saw many seals in the sea and on the beach as well as Oryx, Springboks and jackals in the national park. The ride along the beach and over the dunes in the national park was exhilarating and the many different views were spectacular, not least the views over Sandwich Bay harbour. There were frequent stops all day for taking in the scenery and many opportunities for photos. The light lunch and drinks provided, set up at a viewpoint in the dunes was excellent. We were returned to the ship with plenty of time before departure. The tour was conducted with 2 other 4x4 vehicles from the same company, so there was always back-up should any problems arise. In short we highly recommend this tour and the company also known as Desert Tours and Dust Tours.

Pelican Point Kayaking Half-Day Tour

Vanessa_L, May 2025

Great fun with the seals

We had a great time. Our guide SJ came to the cruise port to pick us up and took us to the office very close to the cruise port. If you are being picked up at the cruise port, make sure you cross the bridge then WALK 200 meters to the small yellow gate by the very long fence to meet them as they cannot come in to the parking lot by the bridge. From the office SJ drove us and the kayaks to the point, the last section of the drive was on sand and it was Super fun. SJ talked to us about life in Namibia and near the sand dunes. At the point he unloaded all the kayaks and did all the work to keep us comfortable, we basically got on the kayaks on sand and he pushed us out so we don’t get wet. We were given pants and shirts to help with sun protection, as well as life vest. And kayaking with the seals was so fun. They were all around us splashing and frolicking. They were so close and kept on following the kayaks. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour for your outing. The hot tea and coffee and lunch were very welcoming after the few cold splashes in the water
