Swakopmund Fat Bike Tours is certainly the best way to immerse yourself, your family or group in the magnificent beauty of the vast sand dunes of the Namib Desert in historic Swakopmund, Namibia.
The company was founded by locals with a passion about promoting their country, its people and unspoilt natural splendor. And there is no better way to explore the vast sea of sand at Swakopmund than with fat bikes.
The fat bikes help Swakopmund Fat Bike Tours in their goal to have as little impact on the desert’s fragile, natural habitat as possible. The balloon-like tyres allow for almost effortless floating over pebbles and sand. Thanks to their wider contact area, the rider’s weight is more spread – making it the most ecological way to explore the delicate desert.
Their e-bikes also mean that you can explore new places – without sweating it. All you need is a quick lesson and safety briefing from your guide on how to balance and operate the bikes and you are off.
You will also find the guides passionate and knowledgeable about the Swakopmund region making the tours an immersive, unique family experience.

Reviews from previous Swakopmund Fat Bike Tours customers
“Wow what fun did I have on this tour! I was not feeling well so I opted for an e-bike and boy did I have ZERO regrets as I found myself almost gliding through the dunes. Our guide Gibson is a legend – he was so patient and knowledgeable with our mixed crew of both younger and older folk with various ailments. The cycle through the beach was especially memorable as we freed a helpless bird who’s wings were stuck in fishing reel (Gibson to the rescue)! Overall, a fantastic experience with Swakopmund Fat Bike Tours. (Furthermore my colleague lost her phone on the dunes and Gibson actually retrieved it for her!),” wrote Deborah D on their TripAdvisor page.
Sam R added; “Definitely worth a go, it was a fair bit harder than expected but Gibson was incredibly patient and clearly an expert on the dunes. The pictures and videos he took are unreal!”
“A 5 minute ride and you are amongst the sand dunes and away from any signs of civilisation. Great fun, as challenging as you like and a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours and learn about the desert from a couple of great guys. Many fantastic photo and video opportunities too,” said Jim P.
