Summary:
We scheduled the Sandwich Harbor tour from our cruise ship. Bertie, our experienced tour guide, was waiting on us as planned with his 4 x 4, Land Cruiser. Our first stop was at the Bay to see the pelicans and flamingos, then off to Sandwich Harbor. Our trip was amazing. We saw the salt factory and the pink lakes along the way. Sadly, we also saw a few sea lions who had come up on the beach to die. The sands dunes and sea were beautiful. Bertie is very knowledgeable and a great driver. We went up, down, around, and over sand dunes. He also provided a lovely lunch on top of the sand down with a view; he even accommodated the two vegetarians. We had a great time, and if we’re ever back in Namibia, we definitely will be booking another excursion with Bertie.

Summary:
Wow! We had a fantastic day on our Sandwich Harbour Tour. Bertie’s experience and knowledge is such that you are guaranteed a fabulous day. He explained in detail about the coastline, dunes, vegetation and wildlife.
The lunch perched on top of a dune only his Land Rover could reach meant not only did we have a great view but the quiet to fully absorb the unique landscape.
If you are going to Walvis Bay Bertie’s Coastline Adventure Tours has to be your first choice.

Summary:
The tour with Bertie was a super experience, both from the sightseeing and nature aspect and from the great driving sensation. Bertie was an excellent guide and very skilled driver. The tour took us through the large beach, then a thrilling race along the narrow coastline, just missing to be washed away by the upcoming surf. What followed was a spectacular race where it seemed we were flying over the dunes, as if we did a Dakar leg. We were then presented a great meal and some drinks. After that sightseeing in the back land of the dunes where we saw bokkies and oryx. Well worth the money spent!
