Wildlife
History

Conservation
The red dune system is fragile; stick to designated driving routes and camp areas, pack out waste, and choose operators who follow local permit and wildlife welfare guidelines.

Hydrate before you go
Drink water before pickup and carry a refillable bottle; heat and motion can dehydrate you quickly.
Time for sunset photos
Schedule the tour to hit the dunes at sunset for softer light and cooler temperatures for photos and sandboarding.
Wear closed shoes
Choose sneakers or light hiking shoes to protect feet from hot sand and provide grip on steep dune faces.
Prepare for motion
If prone to motion sickness, take medication before the dune‑bashing segment — rides are spirited and uneven.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical in hot, arid conditions and operators may only provide limited bottles.
