Bay View Resort Hotel Namibia - Homepage
The Adventure Centre at Bay View takes care of the planning — all you need to do is decide where to start. Watch the sun rise over the dunes with coffee in hand. Skydive over the Atlantic. Float above the desert in a hot air balloon. Explore the wild northern coastline, home to one of the world's largest seal colonies. Discover the tiny creatures that survive in the Namib — one of the oldest deserts on earth. Quad bike through the dunes, fish from the shore, or end the day with sundowners as the light drops over the sand. Whatever pace you choose, we'll make it happen.
