★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 483 reviews · 4h 30m · from $140

4x4 drive from Walvis Bay to Sandwich Harbour dunes, flamingos and pink salt lakes, sandboarding, and a picnic with drinks.

“The excursion was excellent and well planned. Our driver and guide CJ was excellent and a lovely person to talk to who took great care of us. The picnic on the beach was wonderful and it was nice to try the local beers. A lot of the other companies did not take their participants to the top of the dunes. We were taken to the top of the dunes and it was simply amazing. We were also not rushed for time by anyone. I would highly recommend CJ and M.N.G. Tours for your excursion to Sandwich Bay. Thank you CJ and other drivers for making our trip memorable.”
