DURATION: Full Day
Our Sandwich Harbour Adventure Tour combines Pelican Point Seal drive with Sandwich Harbour Tour.
The Sandwich harbour Adventure Tour starts in Swakopmund and onto Walvisbay, we share interesting facts along the way, to the Ramsar wetlands of the Walvis Bay Lagoon and Pink lakes of the enormous Saltworks. We pass some 54 bird species of various endemic and palearctic migratory birds numbering up to 300 000 birds in our summer. Flamingos, Pelicans, Turnstone, Avocets, Sandpipers, Plovers and an array of Terns and Gulls are seen along the way. We turn north towards Pelican Point to view the 50 000 strong Cape Fur Seal colony. We see black backed Jackal amongst the many birds and Brown Hyena tracks enroute. We walk as close as we can to Photograph, smell and hear these likable animals. Thinking Sammy, the seal is out there somewhere. The light House stands out amongst huge Ships in the bay. We then take the sandy route south over huge dunes with the contrasting colours of dune meeting sea views. Past dilapidated Houses of yesteryear scattered on the beach disturbed by raging springtides, up the towering dunes, a heart stopping roller coaster swoop to the unexpected, lush wetland scenery of Sandwich Harbour, at your feet.
It is STUNNING! Its Awesome! Its Unforgettably beautiful.
We find a lone spot to absorb the tranquillity and vastness of the dunes and serve up a light tasty lunch with beverages. The quietness absorbs us, the vastness and beauty stun us. Its unique. Its Sandwich Harbour. We share the very unknown history of Sandwich Harbour, strewn with Skeletons searching for Seals, Jackals, Springbuck, and what life the desert has to offer…
The dune drive is exhilarating, as we traverse huge dunes in search for animals, through salt pans and back onto the sandy shores the way we came.
This full day tour includes everything Walvisbay has to offer.
