Skeleton Coast shoreline
Guided drives along the coast introduce the area’s maritime history, shipwreck remains, mining traces, aviation relics and the natural forces that shaped this remote shoreline.
Hoarusib River and Clay Castles
A 4x4 excursion into the Hoarusib River landscape reveals the Clay Castles, castle-like geological formations shaped over time by sediment, floods and erosion. With luck, guests may encounter desert-adapted elephant in the area.
Möwe Bay and seal colony
The Möwe Bay area offers the chance to observe Cape fur seals from a safe distance, with the cold Benguela Current supporting abundant sea life along this stark Atlantic coast.
Beach lunch experience
Weather permitting, guests may enjoy a memorable dining experience on the Atlantic shore, with fine food, coastal air and the rhythm of the ocean as part of the setting.
Sunset dune drive
A late afternoon drive brings the warmth of golden light to the ancient desert and Atlantic edge, ideal for travellers who want atmosphere, scale and photography.
Active desert experiences
Sand boarding and guided quad bike activities may be part of the wider activity mix, offering a more active way to experience the surrounding dunes and desert terrain.
