Swakopmund is readily accessible on well-paved roads or by air via nearby Walvis Bay. The town is Namibia’s adventure mecca, with a large selection of exciting activities to choose from. There are several options to explore the area by air, whether in an aeroplane, helicopter or hot-air balloon. Sky-diving takes place at the Swakopmund airfield. In the water, both the surfing and angling options are surprisingly good. By land, venture into the desert by quad bike, on horseback, or on foot. For the agile, dune boarding is the desert equivalent of snowboarding. Swakop has a good selection of restaurants and pubs, along with some fascinating museums and galleries.
