Equipment Information & Vehicle Details
Our buggies are purpose-built for the dunes with welded roll cages, four-point racing harnesses and bucket seats that hold you firmly in place on the turns. Each two-seat buggy is checked for tyre pressure, brakes and harness condition before every departure, and every rider — driver or passenger — is fitted with a helmet at base camp regardless of how short the ride is. Learn more about our fleet.
Safety Information
Given the compact one-hour route, the guide keeps the group on the gentler, wider dune faces near base camp and sets a beginner-friendly pace throughout. Harnesses are double-checked before setting off, and the guide rides ahead to signal any soft-sand or drop-off sections in good time so drivers can slow down well before reaching them.
