You step out of the coastal breeze and onto a slope of glaring white sand; the dunes rise like a living playground, shifting under wind and foot. The 4WD growls to life and the driver threads a path up ridgelines, giving you sudden windows of blue ocean and scrubbed inland plains. Sand shifts and sighs, daring you to slide.

Hydrate before you go
Carry at least 1 L of water per person—sand and sun dehydrate quickly during climbs and runs.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sand gets hot and granular; closed-toe shoes with good grip protect your feet during dune climbs.
Protect your skin and eyes
High SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses are essential—reflected light off white sand intensifies UV exposure.
Listen to the briefing
Follow the operator’s instructions for boarding, slope selection and vehicle entry/exit to avoid injury and protect the dunes.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Protect feet during dune climbs and give traction on loose sand.
1–2 L water bottle
Staying hydrated is critical in exposed, sandy environments.

High-SPF sunscreen & lip balm
