The Sandwich Harbour sunset tour starts with pick up from your hotel in Walvis Bay or Swakopmund. You travel in a comfortable 4×4 vehicle with an experienced local guide. The first part of the drive follows the Walvis Bay Lagoon and nearby salt pans. This area is well known for birdlife, and you often see flamingos, pelicans, and other seabirds feeding close to the shore.
The first stop is Pelican Point. This long sandy peninsula is home to a large Cape fur seal colony and a lighthouse. Guests enjoy a short walk on the beach, time for photos, and views over the Atlantic Ocean. Dolphins are sometimes seen near the shore, and seabirds are often flying overhead.
From Pelican Point, the tour continues toward Sandwich Harbour inside the Namib-Naukluft National Park. This is one of the few places in the world where tall desert dunes meet the ocean. Depending on tide and conditions, the drive follows the beach or climbs the dunes. Several stops are made for photos and short walks.
As the sun lowers toward the horizon, your guide prepares a private sundowner stop. Guests enjoy sparkling wine or champagne with snacks such as cheese, fruit, biltong, or oysters on request. Seating is provided with chairs or a blanket on the sand. The changing sky colors and quiet surroundings make this the highlight of the tour.
