Hydrate before you go
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water per person and drink before boarding; desert heat and dune bashing dehydrate quickly.
Protect from sun and sand
Wear a wide-brim hat, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen; a lightweight scarf helps keep sand out of your face.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Loose sand hides hot surfaces and sharp objects—closed shoes with good traction make walking easier during camp stops.
Know health limits
Dune bashing includes rapid vehicle movements—avoid if pregnant or if you have serious back, neck, or heart conditions.
