Reviews: Coast and Sandwich Harbour

"We couldn't have been more happy with our day out with Cai. He is enthusiastic, full of knowledge, and extremely respectful of the environment in which the tours run.

We experienced the amazing diversity of the landscape and wildlife around Sandwich Harbor, and we would really count this as a must-do." Read more about this whole safari

"The long 4x4 drive over the dunes was exhilarating, and rewarded by skirting the sea to achieve the picturesque Sandwich Bay. What really made the day extra-special was the quality of our one-handed guide, who had once lived in this remote spot with his family.

His deep knowledge, expert driving and remarkable English made for a memorable day.

Spend as much time as you can, absorbing the tranquility of the bay." Read more about this whole safari

"Nice trip along the coastline to the laguna ( sometimes bit tricky with seawater coming up ). at noon after walking into the dunes we had a lunch . What a view , dunes , sand and the sea together with flamingos and pelicans . don't miss these !

the guide was Ok with some interesting information about fauna, flora and animals .

what we didn't know , we would like have to see oldest plant ( after reading again the book we saw it was on an other place in the dunes ) Is these right ? So, a reason to come back ??" Read more about this whole safari

"Not what we expected. A blow-out on the way to Walvis Bay and a rapidly approaching high tide put the trip in jeopardy. So the short stay with flamingoes in Walvis Bay was not long enough (we didn't get the promised return).

The day then turned into more of an extreme 4x4 day than a serene nature adventure. Driving outward through the surf and back down the slip face of huge dunes was exciting but we didn't get far into Sandwich Harbour or have time for the nature on show.

Good crowd made it fun but wouldn't do it again if it was the same. Guide was stressed out and the whole thing rushed and disappointing." Read more about this whole safari

"This was a well-designed trip, with a competent and personable guide who enjoyed showing off his impressive driving skills. Sandwich Harbour is beautiful and the view from the top of the dune where we had a tasty lunch was stunning. The big problem was lack of space and comfort in the Land Rover, which technically had seats for 4 passengers, but with 3 large adults in the back it was a very tight squeeze. As most of the day is spent in the vehicle and the ride very bumpy in places, this really spoiled the day for me." Read more about this whole safari

"We had a fantastic day trip to Sandwich Harbour with Turnstone Tours. Our guide, Mike, was excellent - very knowledgeable and highly entertaining.

We drove to Sandwich Harbour along the beach from Walvis Bay and returned over the high dunes - a lot of fun. We certainly recommend this trip." Read more about this whole safari

"A fabulous day exploring the remote and inaccessible coastal environment south of Swakopmund.

Berger was a great guide and fortunately, given the nature of the route, a great driver too!" Read more about this whole safari

"We spent an excellent day with Turnstone Tours in Sandwich Harbor. Burger (?surname?) was extremely good. He promised us a day of drama and adventure and certainly delivered on both. His expert driving allowed us to travel along the beach beside the dunes, safe from the ebbing tide, whilst he gave us a thoroughly fascinating explanation of the terrain, the commercial comings and goings of the bay, the animals, sea life, birds and of course the dunes. We certainly enjoyed a spell of 'extreme driving' over the dunes.

Burger and Achim expertly laid out a delicious picnic for us which we very much enjoyed.

Burger was very informative in reply to our general questions about the area and Namibia in general." Read more about this whole safari
