Shipwreck Sandwich Harbour Excursion Full-Day

The Shipwreck Sandwich Harbour Excursion Full-Day is a one-day excursion designed for those interested in experiencing the rugged beauty of the Namibian coastal landscape and dreams of seeing an actual shipwreck stuck high up on a beach in one of the most isolated places in the world. The tour will depart from Walvis Bay Waterfront to see masses of flamingos and other coastal birds that reside in and around the lagoon at different times of the year. From here, the drive initially takes participants to the Kuiseb River delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok, oryx or jackal may be spotted. If weather and tides allow, adventurers will drive to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon along the beach, one of Southern Africa’s unique wetlands and one of five RAMSAR sites (Ramsar site no. 743) in Namibia. Adventurers then proceed on a route through the dunes and along the beach, stopping at various spots along the spectacular Sandwich Harbour lagoon. Participants are expected to arrive at the Shawnee shipwreck in the late morning.
