Reviews: Coast and Sandwich Harbour

"Turnstone Tours have been in business for a long time and it is obvious why when you go out with Ernst. We went on our own with him and he tailored the tour according to our interests, mainly bird watching about which he is very knowledgeable and passionate. L

Lunch was a delicious and imaginative salad, patés, fresh home made bread and more. We ate it on top of the highest sand dune while watching dolphins playing in the sea below. It doesn't get much better than that." Read more about this whole safari

"A wonderful day with the aging hippy Wayne.

He was superb company, very informative and entertaining. The tides allowed us to get to Sandwich Harbour this time - an exhilarating drive with a beautiful destination. We'd recommend Turnstone to anyone- that's why we've been twice!" Read more about this whole safari

"A lovely day out. Sandwich Harbour must be just about as remote as it gets" Read more about this whole safari

"An excellent day with our guide, Ernst, driving over and climbing up the dunes, experiencing different shapes and colours of the sand. We saw very little wildlife, principally birds on the guano platform off the coast north of Walvis Bay, pelicans in Sandwich harbour and numerous desert insects.

Ernst is passionate about wildlife and conservation and shared his enthusiasm and knowledge with us in a most enjoyable and long day. Thanks to tide times and his passion to show us all that he could we were back at 7pm instead of the planned 5:30!" Read more about this whole safari

"What a wonderful experience. This trip turned out to be the highlight of our holiday. Our guide Ernst was a pleasure to spend the day with. He was very informative and caring of the wild life and environment. It was a priviledge to be shown the wonderful bird life of the area and experience the spectacular "dune drive" - memory of which will last forever." Read more about this whole safari

"A long day but exciting particularly with the sea being so high but at least we didn't have to dig as others had done before us.
Guide ,Wayne, was an interesting character with a wide knowledge on environmental issues within Namibia including some controversial beliefs which made for interesting debate.

Lunch in the sand was lovely with the veggie catered for." Read more about this whole safari

"Worthwhile trip. Due to tidal conditions, our 4x4 couldn't get that close to the harbour, so we walked along the beach for quite some time each way. As keen walkers, this was great, and we got to see a whale which we wouldn't have done had we been driving. We were caught short by the tide on the way back, so played 'dodge the waves' by jumping onto the dunes. Lunch was much appreciated after our long walk, and was tasty to boot!"

"This was a great day-trip, even though we didn't quite get to Sandwich Harbour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The rest of the party spoke German so he had to repeat everything for us.

We loved driving and walking in the dunes, and running down them. We also saw a lot of bird life, including pelicans and flamingoes.

Lunch was also excellent." Read more about this whole safari

"One of the trip highlights. A great guide, knowledgeable on any subject and willing to change the tour to suit us. Topped by a superb lunch on top of the dunes I would reccommend this for anyone with any interest in natural history, or Namibia in general." Read more about this whole safari
