Day 4x4 Shipwreck Tour
A guided, 37km tour on the Namaqualand Diamond Coast in the comfort of your own 4x4 vehicle. Over years the moody Atlantic Ocean has cut short many a sea voyage, sending these ships to a chilly grave along the virtually unspoilt coastline between Koingnaas and Kleinzee. Driving includes soft sand and rocky outcrops, rendering a difficulty rating of 2-3.
Departure:
Departure from Naries must be by 07h00. Follow directions to the T-junction with the tarred road between Kleinzee (north) and Koingnaas (south). Turn left, continue to the turn-off to Noup and follow directions from here. You will be met by the guide at Noup Divers’ Huts at 09:00.
What
will we do?
Three shipwrecks, the Piratiny, Arosa and Border, can be sighted along the trail. Pristine beaches, archaeological sites from the Late Stone Age and various historical sites complete the experience.
At
lunchtime you will have the opportunity
to enjoy your pre-packed lunch and
prepare for your journey back to Naries.
