Equipment Information & Vehicle Details
A full day out means extra fuel canisters, spare tyres and a more complete tool kit travel with the support 4x4, alongside the usual helmets, goggles and harnessed buggies. We provide a proper Berber lunch rather than just snacks, and riders can rotate between quad, buggy and 4x4 passenger seat during the day, so gear is fitted and refitted at each swap to keep everyone comfortable. Learn more about our fleet.
Safety Information
Covering this much ground across a full day means we build in shaded rest breaks every couple of hours with water and tea, and riders showing fatigue or sunburn are moved into the air-conditioned 4x4 for a while rather than pushing through. Midday riding is kept to gentler terrain, saving the more technical dune sections for the cooler morning and late-afternoon hours. Read our full safety standards.
