      Absolutely amazing experience. The dunes' beauty are indescribable. What made the experience even better was it driver Andries, who was an amazing guide. And the lunch spread was the best I've ever had on any tour or similar excursions. 110% recommend

      It was extreme experience and great fun. Our guide, Obie(?), was an one of the best driver and had a knowledge of sand dune. We experience two flat tyres and one rescue another vehicle. But came back safely on time. Highly recommend. 🤣

      Dunes and Wildlife by the Ocean

      Horacio_D, Mar 2024
      This was an exhilarating experience nearly unequal to any others. The ability to see the Namib desert connecting with the ocean would have been enough. But, driving through the dune system up and down and side to side, or climbing a dune of that size, that was unexpected. Our super expert driver Ivan made the whole thing even more spectacular. And the icing on the cake was a picnic in the desert and encountering jackals, ostrich, and seeing flamingos and seals in the wild. Beyond awesome. The tour company deserves lots of praise for organizing things so well and for waiting (for me) longer than anticipated.

      Response from Host, Apr 2024

      Thank you so much for sharing your exhilarating experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that exploring the Namib Desert meeting the ocean was a highlight for you, and we're delighted that driving through the dune system and climbing those impressive dunes surpassed your expectations. Ivan, our expert driver, is indeed exceptional, and we're glad he made your experience even more spectacular. Encountering wildlife like jackals, ostriches, flamingos, and seals in their natural habitat must have been truly incredible! We're grateful for your kind words about our tour company's organization and flexibility. Waiting a bit longer was our pleasure to ensure you had an unforgettable adventure. We look forward to welcoming you back for more amazing experiences in Namibia!

      The company is super disorganised but a great experience

      George_J, Jan 2024
      They convinced us to do the afternoon over the morning session which we accepted. We came 15 minutes earlier but they were not organised. We didn’t leave for almost 40 minutes after the scheduled 1 pm departure. Absolute chaos. Our driver was OK, kinda racist when he mentioned Namibian politics. Sandwich harbour was stunning and I recommend it BUT not with this company.

      Response from Host, Jan 2024

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your tour. We apologize for the disorganization and the delay in departure that you mentioned, as we understand how valuable your time is. As you are aware that your tour was on the last day of the year and the Walvis Bay Waterfront was the hive of activities, which is a tourist attraction area. Hence, the traffic congestion that we experience that day was beyond our control as the area has one entrance, causing a delay for our vehicles coming in to pick you up. Your comments regarding our driver's behavior are concerning, and we want to assure you that we do not condone any form of disrespect or inappropriate remarks. We will be addressing this issue internally to ensure it does not happen again. On a positive note, we are delighted that you enjoyed the stunning beauty of Sandwich Harbour. We acknowledge that the overall experience was marred by the issues you encountered, and we are committed to taking corrective measures to enhance our services. we appreciate your honesty and hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in the future.

      Initial let down, then wonderful scenery

      Blanche_C, Feb 2023
      Difficult to write this review. This company ‘forgot’ about me and actually the tour was cancelled, but managed to quickly get me onto a different tour group which was amazing.

      Response from Host, Feb 2023

      Hi, Blanche! We are happy you had great time on your excursion. You where not forgotten, our tour got cancelled due to the fact that our minimum pax to go on tour is 2 persons and it happened that you where the only one for that day. We had to organize that you join a group that was going out that morning.
