The whole day was amazing. We spotted seals, dolphins and a waffle in the morning. Sandwich harbor was unbelievable and Peter, our driver, was the best!

This was one of the best experiences we had in Namibia. We started the day with the boat tour in the morning where we saw whales, dolphins, pelicans, seals, and then the sand dune adventure in the afternoon. Mola Mola costs more than othRead more

Excellent!!! It was far beyond our expectations. We joined in Marine-Dune-Day on June 7th, which was an incredible and unforgettable experience. Although we didn’t see any whales or dophins, it was still full of fun. We really enjoyed the momRead more

Jonas the seal and all the tour guides. One of the best tours I have ever paid for, if not the best one.

Perfect day well spent. From start to finish the experience was amazing. From Mandela and Kody the boat operators to Leandri our host and last but not the least Casper the Dunes tour guide. Wonderful experience all in all. Thanks all for making this activity exceptional.

We had an awesome day with Mola Mola. The guides were knowledgeable, fun and went out of their way to make sure we had a great day. We particularly enjoyed the Dune part of the day which is a do-not-miss experience. Would highly recommend.

This tour was arguably the highlight of our trip to Namibia. Our skipper Holger for the boat tour was amazing and fun! He was able to have one of the seals jump up on the boat and let us pet him! The pelicans also got close up close and persoRead more

Perfect tour package allowing to make the boat trip and the Sandwich Bay in the same day. All the staff was friendly, it was well organized and we felt safe. Boat trip was very scenery and interesting, Sandwich Bay excursion was a lot of fun. Amazing views all over the day. Would recommend to do.

This is a great way to spend the day exploring. The sea creatures exploring the boat was funny and the trip in the 4x4’s to Sandwich Harbour was great with the return trip via the dunes!

Wir hatten auf unserer „Viergenerationenreise“ ein wirklich einmaliges Erlebnis. Wir haben alle versprochenen Tiere sehen und teils sogar anfassen können. Mit der Fahrt durch die Dünen kam für uns dann noch die Kirsche auf der Sahne hinzu. Unser Sohn (16 Monate) konnte problemlos mit und es wurde sehr auf uns eingegangen. Wir können die Tour absolut empfehlen.

Personnel très sympathique !
Le combo sortie en mer le matin et 4X4 l'après midi était top ! Je conseille vivement.
