Sandboarding in the Namib

Experience an exhilarating adventure as you sandboard across the Naimb desert at exhilarating speeds of 50 mph (80 kph)! This activity is an essential experience for those seeking excitement!

Details of the Activity

Your journey begins when your guide picks you up from your accommodation in Swakopmund . Together, you will head towards the renowned Namib, recognized as the oldest desert on the planet. Upon arrival, all necessary equipment will be provided to prepare you for surfing the dunes.

Sandboarding offers a unique opportunity to take in the breathtaking beauty of the desert alongside some of the tallest sand dunes worldwide. This activity promises fun and excitement, specifically designed for all skill levels. You will be introduced to six varying slopes, allowing you to select the one that best fits your comfort and experience level.

If balancing on the sandboard feels daunting, you can opt for lie down sandboarding. This choice involves a specially designed board that allows you to glide face-first down the dunes, reaching thrilling speeds of up to 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour)!

You will enjoy several runs down the dunes before taking a break to recharge with some local snacks. Afterward, your guide will return you to your hotel in Swakopmund.
