Ride quad bikes over soft dunes, then see quiet ocean dunes. Book the Quad Biking and Sandwich Harbour Tour now.
The engine starts. You press the throttle. Sand flies up behind you. You are on a quad bike in the middle of the Namib Desert. You go up a dune. At the top, you see nothing but sand and sky. You come down the other side fast. The sand is soft. It feels like riding on a giant cushion. You laugh. You cannot help it. This is the first part of the Sandwich Harbour and quad biking tour.
Step by stepThe riding takes place on dunes near Walvis Bay. These dunes are not inside the national park. They are open riding areas made for this activity. Your guide gives you a helmet and goggles. They show you how to ride. They explain the safety rules.
You do not need to know how to ride a quad bike before this tour. The guide teaches you. Most people pick it up very quickly. The sand is slow and soft, so it is easier to control than riding on a road.
Beginners ride on smaller dunes. People who are more confident go bigger. There is no pressure. The guide watches everyone and keeps things safe.
The riding session usually happens in the morning or early afternoon. After riding, everyone is a bit tired, a bit sandy, and very happy.
After the quad biking, you get cleaned up and jump into a 4×4. Your guide drives you south to Sandwich Harbour. The drive takes about 45 minutes.
Sandwich Harbour is very different from the riding dunes. It is quiet. It is huge. The dunes rise over 100 metres and go straight down to the Atlantic Ocean. The lagoon below is full of flamingos and pelicans.
After the noise and speed of the quad bikes, the silence of Sandwich Harbour hits you. In a good way.
You stop at viewpoints. You walk on the sand. You look down at the ocean. Your guide explains how this rare place was formed and why it is protected.

"We did the Sandwich Harbour sunset tour with People Tour and Safaris. Our guide was Peter. The desert, the sea, de colors, the adventures and the dunes meeting the Atlantic Ocean, this is exactly what brought us to Namibia. We had really high expectations, and it didn't disappoint. Peter was magnificent. A proficient driver, knew the desert like the back of his hand, knowledgeable, fun, and in general very interesting to be around. He knew when and how to push it to make us feel the rush and took us to very beautiful viewpoints. Even the food and drinks he gave us were amazing. We'll be back, and we definitely want to do this again with Peter."
"One of the best experiences of our lives. Lucas was an exceptional guide throughout the entire trip. His driving skills on the dunes were truly impressive, and he took us to some of the most breathtaking locations. He shared a wealth of knowledge about the local culture, history, and the places we visited, making the experience even more meaningful. The views were stunning, the stories were fascinating, and the lunch was wonderful. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A huge thank you to Lucas for making it such a memorable experience!"
"What a fantastic experience! So much fun, and Lukas, our guide, was amazing! He was so entertaining and shared so many interesting stories and information! Walking, running, sliding, and driving across the dunes is a truly incredible experience!!"
