If your group is larger than 6 people and so would require more than one vehicle, this can be arranged with sufficient notice.

Tour 3

Please note that our tour to Cape Cross and the Messum Crater departs from Swakopmund at 8am and returns between 5pm and 6pm. It requires a minimum of 4 people and is offered on a private basis only charged according the private tour rates quoted below.

HALF DAY TOURS

The Sheltering Desert (Namib Desert) tour

Please note that from 2025 we will be offering this half day tour on a private basis only, based on a minimum booking for four passengers
Mornings from 9am to 1pm; afternoons from 2pm to 6pm:

N$8 000 per exclusive tour

NB: We do NOT offer half day tours to Sandwich Harbour as we consider this practice dangerous and unsustainable, both environmentally and in terms of safety. We also feel it is impossible to provide value for money with so little time available for such a substantial journey, and that visitors are denied any real chance of exploring and appreciating this remarkable stretch of Namibia's coastal desert.

 

EXCLUSIVE (PRIVATE) FULL DAY TOURS (including 15% VAT)

 For 1/2 pax: N$13 000
For 3/4 pax: N$ 16 000
Private tours for more than four people can be arranged. Please ask for a quotation.

Rates for larger tours are available on request
Children under 12 are charged 50% of the adult rate
Guides accompanying groups of 4 or more guests are not charged
Guides accompanying groups of fewer than 4 guests are charged 50% of the per person rack rate.

Please note that we have a cancellation policy of 25% of the full amount for a booking cancelled less than 45 days before the tour date; 50% for a booking cancelled less than 21 days before the tour date; and 100% for a booking cancelled less than 14 days before the tour date.

 

 

ADVISORY NOTICE

Please note that there may be days when a combination of climatic conditions (including but not restricted to tides) make it impossible to access the final section of beach accessing Sandwich Lagoon. These conditions cannot be reliably predicted and we are not able to forecast their alignment in advance. Should such circumstances occur we rely on the expertise and experience of our guides to decide whether or not to proceed. The safety of our guests will always be their first priority. Similarly, the guides’ knowledge and local expertise will ensure that the day tour continues in an interesting, informative and adventurous vein. Guests should be aware of this possibility and prepared to follow an alternative agenda if the need arises.

Also, we describe our tour to Sandwich Bay as “adventurous” and “challenging” for good reason. It is made as safe as possible by our first-rate guides, but an element of risk cannot be ruled out. If you would prefer a gentler, but equally fascinating desert excursion, our ‘Sheltering Desert’ tour might be a better option.
