Desert Explorers runs adventure tours in Swakopmund. They take you into the Namib Desert. This desert is really old. You can do quad biking, sandboarding, and other fun stuff there.
Riding Quad Bikes
Quad biking is what most people do. You ride a four-wheel bike through the sand dunes. The bikes are easy to control. You don’t need to know how to ride one before. They teach you everything.
Tours last 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours. The 2-hour tour is most popular. You cover about 33 to 55 kilometers. That’s a lot of desert to see. You go up big dunes and down the other side.
The 3-hour tour shows you more. You learn about plants and animals. It’s cool to see what lives in the sand.
Sand-boarding Fun
Sand-boarding is the other big thing to do. You can stand on the board or lie down on it. Most people lie down because it’s faster. You go down the dunes really quick. It’s exciting. The sand is soft so you don’t get hurt if you fall.
The morning sand-boarding trip takes you to 6 different dunes. Each one is different. Some are steeper than others. The guides show you what to do. They make sure you stay safe.
Doing Both Together
You can do sandboarding and quad biking on the same day. The popular package has 1 hour of sandboarding and 2 hours of quad biking. You get both adventures. It costs less than doing them separately.
Another combo has a boat trip in the morning at Walvis Bay. Then you do quad biking in the afternoon. You see the ocean and the desert in one day. Good for people who don’t have much time.
Other Things to Do
They also have camel rides. These last 30 minutes. The whole family can do this. The camels are trained and gentle. It’s an old way to travel through the desert.
You can book sunset rides too. They give you drinks while you watch the sun go down. There are breakfast tours as well.
What They Give You
Everything is included. They pick you up from your hotel. They bring you back when you’re done. You get a helmet and goggles for quad biking. They give you drinks on the longer tours. Their office is 9 kilometers from town. It’s easy to get there.
