Equipment Information & Vehicle Details
For this short introduction we use automatic-transmission quads that need no gear-shifting experience, dune buggies with roll cages and four-point harnesses, and a 4x4 for anyone who prefers to ride as a passenger. Every rider is fitted with a helmet and goggles at base camp before departure, and our mechanics check tyre pressure and fuel on each vehicle before every single group heads out. Learn more about our fleet.
Safety Information
Because this is many guests' first time off-road, the group rides in a slow, tight convoy with a guide leading and a second guide sweeping at the back. Speeds stay low and the route sticks to gentler dune faces suited to beginners. Bring sunglasses and a scarf for the sand; water is provided, and the whole loop stays within a few minutes of base camp at all times. Read our full safety standards.
