The engine growls as the buggy noses up a wind-carved ridge; sand sprays like salt dust and the Atlantic glints beyond. You feel the dunes shifting under the wheels, a series of steep climbs and smooth, rolling hollows that open onto the Genipabu lagoon and, eventually, a broad strip of beach where soap operas and ads once filmed sweeping coastal scenes.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine growls as the buggy noses up a wind-carved ridge; sand sprays like salt dust and the Atlantic glints beyond. You feel the dunes shifting under the wheels, a series of steep climbs and smooth, rolling hollows that open onto the Genipabu lagoon and, eventually, a broad strip of beach where soap operas and ads once filmed sweeping coastal scenes.
Genipabu sits on the northern edge of Natal and the municipality of Extremoz. These are coastal aeolian dunes—sand lifted inland by trade winds, shaped over centuries and still mobile today. The lagoon at the fixed dunes is a cultural landmark: locals have long used the area for fishing and seasonal celebrations, and camel (dromedary) rides were introduced decades ago as a tourist attraction that nods to an unexpected, playful side of region’s coastal culture.
On the ride you’ll pass urban beaches, cross low-tide sand routes, and choose between a mellow route or a high-adrenaline “with emotion” run that leans into dune faces. Accredited buggies and licensed drivers keep the experience legal and safer than off-route driving—staying on marked paths protects fragile dune vegetation and nesting birds.
Practical guidance: wear closed shoes, sunglasses, and a bandana for sand; bring sunscreen and water; plan for a 3‑hour window including pickup from Natal. If you want photos without wind-blown sand, ask to pause at the lagoon and at the high ridge at the tour midpoint. The tour is family-friendly and wheelchair-accessible on designated routes, but check with the operator about specific mobility needs before booking.
