This Sandwich Harbour full-day tour gives the famous dune-and-ocean landscape south of Walvis Bay more time than the usual half-day trip, adding a game drive through the dunes and an unhurried brunch.
About This Sandwich Harbour Full-day Tour
The operator runs this as its flagship outing. It begins at the Walvis Bay Esplanade with the greater and lesser flamingos, where tyres are deflated for the beach. The route then passes the salt works and follows the shore south, with seals and sometimes dolphins or whales offshore, before turning into the dunes for a drive in search of ostrich, oryx, jackal and springbok. Brunch with water, soft drinks, juice, beer and cider is served in the open with views of the dunes and sea.
Why Choose This Experience
- More time in the Sandwich Harbour dunes than a half-day tour
- Desert game drive for oryx, springbok and ostrich
- Flamingo stop at the Walvis Bay Esplanade

What to Expect
Pickup is included from accommodation in the area. After the flamingo stop and tyre deflation, the vehicle heads past the salt works and along the tide-dependent beach towards Sandwich Harbour.
The dune section combines viewpoints over the lagoon and ocean with a slower game-viewing drive. Wildlife is free-roaming, so sightings vary. Brunch is served during the day before the drive back to Walvis Bay. The tour is shared; a private vehicle can be arranged by paying for the remaining seats.
