Equipment Information & Vehicle Details
For this extended route into the fossil beds and more remote dune corridors, our roll-caged buggies carry a bit more fuel reserve and the support vehicle travels with a basic repair kit and spare inner tubes. Harnesses, helmets and goggles are standard, and guides check each buggy's steering and suspension before the longer, occasionally rougher drive out to the fossil sites. Learn more about our fleet.
Safety Information
The route mixes soft dune driving with firmer ground near the fossil beds, so the guide slows the pace on the transitions between terrain types and flags any rocky sections in advance. We schedule a shaded break with water roughly halfway through, since three hours in the midday sun is more demanding than our shorter buggy tours. Read our full safety standards.
Reviews
★★★★★
"Getting to the fossil beds by buggy felt like a real expedition rather than a tourist activity. Found several ammonites myself with the guide's help identifying them."
★★★★★
"Three hours was exactly enough to reach the remote dunes without anyone getting exhausted. Rest stop with water came at just the right time."
★★★★★
"More technical driving than the shorter tours, which I appreciated as someone who had already tried the one-hour version the day before."
★★★★★
"The nomadic family visit combined with fossil hunting made this feel like two tours in one. Buggy handled the rougher fossil-bed track without any issues."
