Itinerary and highlights
Follow Namibia’s legendary Skeleton Coast to Cape Cross, where the desert meets the sea and stories echo through time. This full-day guided tour departs from Swakopmund and unfolds along a scenic coastal route lined with pink flamingos, salt pans, and the quirky settlement of Wlotzkasbaken. Stand in awe before one of the world’s largest Cape fur seal colonies, and visit the historic stone cross erected by Portuguese explorer Diego Cão in 1486. Along the way, enjoy stops for stunning photographs, light refreshments, and a delicious lunch at Cape Cross Lodge or Henties Bay Hotel—depending on the tides. Your experienced local guide shares insights into Namibia’s coastline, wildlife, and communities that thrive between ocean and desert. Includes park entry fees, bottled water, and a soft drink with lunch for a worry-free day of discovery on the Atlantic edge.
