Your Perfect Namibian Adventure Awaits

Discover Namibia’s desert wonders, wildlife, and coastal charm — all in one unforgettable day.

The Tour Experience

Your guide will meet you directly at the cruise terminal for a quick briefing before you set off on your adventure.

Stop 1:

Walvis Bay Lagoon: — Your first stop is the lagoon, where flamingos and pelicans feed in the shallow waters, a photographer’s dream.

Stop 2:

Dune 7 — Next, visit the highest dune in the district (~130 m). Kick off your shoes and climb to the top for panoramic desert views.

Stop 3:

Welwitschia Plains — A short 30-minute drive brings you to Namibia’s oldest living plants — the Welwitschia mirabilis — with expert commentary from your guide.

Stop 4:

Goanikontes Oasis — Relax in this lush desert retreat with a cold drink under the palms (lunch and drinks at own cost).

Stop 5:

Swakopmund — End your day in this charming coastal town. Explore local shops, German architecture, and the seaside promenade before heading back along the scenic coastal road.

Throughout the day, your guide will adjust timings to ensure you’re back at the ship well before departure — with plenty of time for photos and leg-stretch stops.
