Summary: Great day trip with our guide LeClue around the highlights of the Walvis Bay area coast, including the flamingoes/pink lakes, kayaking with seals at Pelican Point and driving in the dunes of Sandwich Harbour. The tour was very well organised and LeClue gave great information throughout the day on the local area and what we were seeing. Recommended as a good one stop shop tour for those who want to hit all the local highlights in a day.
