Sandwich Harbour Half Day Tour

About this experience

Begin your adventure at the stunning Walvis Bay Lagoon, home to flocks of flamingos and diverse coastal birds. Take in the beautiful scenery and snap some memorable photos.

Next, we’ll visit the Walvis Bay Salt Works, famous for its industrial salt production and vibrant pink lakes caused by microorganisms. This unique landscape is ideal for photography.

Enjoy a scenic drive along the sandy beach with ocean views on one side and the Namib Naukluft dunes on the other. This route showcases the stark beauty of the Namib Desert.

If weather permits, we’ll head to Sandwich Harbour Lagoon, a RAMSAR site. If high tides restrict direct access, you can still admire the lagoon from lookout points and enjoy a leisurely stroll.

After exploring, relax at a picturesque spot while enjoying snacks and beverages, all with stunning landscape views.

On the return journey, get ready for an exhilarating 4x4 ride over high dunes, followed by a relaxing cruise back along the beach.

Itinerary and highlights

The first stop will be at the Lagoon, where you can observe the flamingos.

Pink Lake and the Salt Company.

The "Pink Lake" near Walvis Bay, Namibia, is a stunning natural attraction, famous for its vibrant pink color caused by salt-loving microorganisms and algae found in the salt evaporation ponds used for salt production.

Sandwich Harbour is a breathtaking coastal area located in Namibia, within the Namib-Naukluft National Park. It is renowned for its stunning landscapes, where towering sand dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean, creating a dramatic and unique scenery.

This location is one of the few places in the world where massive desert sand dunes directly touch the sea. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including flamingos, pelicans, jackals, and occasionally desert-adapted oryx. Additionally, the nearby Walvis Bay Lagoon is a paradise for birdwatchers.
