About This Walvis Bay Highlights Tour
Red Dune Safaris runs the tour with a local guide. Dune 7, the tallest dune near town, is climbed on foot; the route then visits the lagoon, where thousands of flamingos gather, and explains the salt refining that shapes the pink pans on the edge of town. The final stretch is an off-road drive along the sand spit to Pelican Point, where lunch is served near the lighthouse. Hotel pickup, light refreshments, lunch and drinks are included.
