Sandwich Harbour tours take you by 4×4 from Walvis Bay to the place where the dunes of the Namib Desert run straight into the Atlantic Ocean. Sandwich Harbour lies about 55 km south of Walvis Bay inside Namib-Naukluft National Park. You can only reach it in a 4×4 with a permit, so a guided tour is the easiest way to go. Book a half-day or full-day trip, or add it to a longer Namibia safari.
What is included
- Pick-up in Walvis Bay or Swakopmund

Where you go

- Sandwich Harbour: Tall dunes meet the sea next to a protected wetland.
- Kuiseb Delta: The dry river mouth where jackals and springbok live close to the sea.
Best time to go
Sandwich Harbour is open all year. Tours run around the tides, because the beach route is only safe at low tide. Mornings are often foggy and the fog clears by midday.
