Sandwich Harbour 4x4 Adventure
Join a thrilling 4x4 expedition to the remote and stunning Sandwich Harbour—where towering sand dunes of the Namib Desert roll directly into the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. This extraordinary trip, offered by Sandwich Harbour 4x4, is one of Namibia’s most iconic and visually striking experiences.
Discovering the Hidden Gem: Sandwich Harbour Lagoon
Roughly 42 kilometers south of Walvis Bay, nestled between golden dunes and the sea, lies the unique Sandwich Harbour Lagoon. Fed by groundwater from the desert and shielded from development, this freshwater oasis is a haven for birdlife and rare coastal vegetation. Once believed to have served as a whaling port in the 15th century, today the area is protected and known for its raw natural beauty and ecological richness.
Expect to see a dazzling variety of bird species, including flamingos, pelicans, and cormorants, drawn to the lush wetland—a true rarity in this desert region.
Tour Options and Departure Times
Tours depart daily from Walvis Bay at 08:30 AM and 1:00 PM. If you're joining a dolphin or seal-watching boat cruise in the morning, the afternoon tour is the perfect add-on. Many guests choose to combine both sea and sand experiences in one day for a complete coastal adventure.
What the 4x4 Tour Includes
The journey begins with a stop at the Walvis Bay Lagoon, a popular feeding ground for flamingos and other waterbirds. From there, your guide will drive you past Kuiseb Delta, salt flats, and along the wild Atlantic coastline toward Sandwich Harbour.
Depending on the tides, your 4x4 may be able to drive all the way to the lagoon’s edge. During high tide, you’ll leave the vehicle behind and take a short scenic walk over the dunes to reach the lagoon—an adventure in itself!
Once there, you'll have time to:
-
Explore the landscape and take unforgettable photos
-
Look for desert-adapted creatures like the famous Namib “Little Five”
-
Simply relax and soak in the silence and grandeur of this remote location
