点评:This was a completely perfect day among the sand dunes of Sandwich Harbor. Highly recommend!
JP is a super knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly guide, we really enjoyed our time and conversations with him. He was also responsive and flexible - we had a last minute issue with our rented vehicle, and JP was kind enough to come pick us up in Swakopmund (rather than us driving to Walvis Bay to meet him), which allowed our car to get fixed while we were out with him for the day. We also expressed a preference for more time in the dunes and less time with the seal colony and he was happy to modify the itinerary.
The coastal desert landscape is surreal, driving up and down the steep sand dunes is a blast. We saw tons of local wildife (flamingoes, springbok, jackals, seals, sand geckos) and JP had a lot of information about the local flora and fauna to share with us.
The provided lunch was amazing; we were impressed and grateful for the accommodation of my food allergy. Plenty of local beverages (cider, beer, wine) were included as well!
It was definitely worth hiring a professional for this adventure! I wouldn't recommend trying to do Sandwich Harbor on your own - there's no cell service out in the dunes and it would be extremely easy to get stuck and/or mistime the tides. We considered a few different operators in Walvis Bay/Swakopmund, and Red Dune Safaris seemed like the best choice, and I can definitely say we made the right choice from our experience.

JP 是一位知识渊博、经验丰富、热情友好的导游,我们非常享受与他共度的时光和交谈。他反应迅速,灵活变通——我们租的车在最后一刻出了问题,JP 很贴心地来斯瓦科普蒙德接我们(而不是我们开车去鲸湾港和他见面),这样我们就可以在和他一起外出游玩期间修好车。我们还表示希望在沙丘上多待一会儿,少在海豹群里待一会儿,他很乐意修改行程。
沿海沙漠的景色美得令人难以置信,在陡峭的沙丘上上下下真是太棒了。我们看到了无数当地野生动物(火烈鸟、跳羚、豺、海豹、沙壁虎),JP 还分享了很多关于当地动植物的信息。
提供的午餐非常棒;我们印象深刻,并感谢 JP 考虑到我的食物过敏问题。还包含丰富的当地饮品(苹果酒、啤酒、葡萄酒)!
绝对值得聘请专业人士来体验这次探险!我不建议独自前往三明治港——沙丘上没有手机信号,很容易被困住或错过潮汐时间。我们考虑了鲸湾港/斯瓦科普蒙德的几家旅行社,Red Dune Safaris 似乎是最佳选择,而且我可以肯定地说,根据我们的经验,我们的选择是正确的。
