Kuiseb Delta Adventures is extending their famous Historian tour by offering an exciting one day quad tour into the red dunes of the Sea of Sand as well as through the yellow dunes of the Kuiseb delta. Prior to entering the dunes, advanced training will be given to enable you to drive the quad bikes with confidence through the dunes.

The tour departs in the early morning from Rooibank, 35 kilometers from Walvis Bay, whereafter you will visit a Topnaar settlement, cross the Kuiseb river (which is normally a dry river bed) and enter the gigantic RED DUNES, which reach up to 1000 feet, into the southern border of the SEA OF SAND. The change in the landscape is extremely dramatic. The dunes are GIGANTIC and RED. There is no vegetation in this barren, lonely desert. One very seldom sees any sign of civilization, except for a borehole rusted almost to extinction. The area is very deserted and except for your fellow riders you will not see any other signs of human habitation. Peace and tranquility. It is fantastic – no people, no noise, no pollution – only you and your group navigating by GPS through these fantastic sea of dunes.

The tour visit old elephant tracks between the dunes, where after it proceeds deeper into the Sea of Sand on a long circular route through the dunes until you reach and cross the Kuiseb river again and enter the delta. Once again, you marvel at the sudden change of the scenery and the different colour of the dunes that are now yellow.

During stops your tour leader will enthrall you with various talks and information on interesting topics such as:
- The history of the Kuiseb River
- The underground fresh water Aquifer of the Kuiseb delta
- The indigenous people of the Kuiseb, the Topnaars (claiming to be a tribe of the Khoi Khoin or also called Hottentotte)
- The different shapes and names of the wandering dunes
- The edible desert fruit, the Narra and the Sirub
