The wind sculpts the slopes ahead as the Polaris 4x4 rumbles to life and grains of sand hiss under rubber. You meet guides, don helmets and goggles, and push into a sunlit maze of steep faces and soft ridgelines where every crest dares you to slide. The ride alternates between throttle-driven runs across packed sand and hands-on sandboarding on looser faces — a physical conversation with the dunes.

The wind sculpts the slopes ahead as the Polaris 4x4 rumbles to life and grains of sand hiss under rubber. You meet guides, don helmets and goggles, and push into a sunlit maze of steep faces and soft ridgelines where every crest dares you to slide. The ride alternates between throttle-driven runs across packed sand and hands-on sandboarding on looser faces — a physical conversation with the dunes.
Geology here is recent coastal sediment shaped by persistent onshore winds; the dunes shift seasonally and can form hard-packed tracks one day and deep, moving drifts the next. Culturally, these dunes sit near La Paz’s shorelines that have long supported fishing and small coastal communities — a working coastline that now shares space with adventure operators. Local guides emphasize simple stewardship: stay on permitted routes and pack out what you pack in.
Practical guidance: the combo runs about 3.5 hours with roughly two hours on site. Operators supply a Polaris 570cc quad (2025 model), helmets, goggles, sandboards, wax, bottled water and fruit snacks. Expect soft sand, occasional steep drop-ins, and short hikes up dune faces when boarding. Wear closed-toe shoes with good traction, UV protection, and a light wind layer. If you have back issues or recent injuries, sit this one out — the ride can be jostling. Book morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat; guides will orient you on basic quad controls and sandboarding technique before you go. For compact adrenaline with low technical entry, this combination delivers hands-on time driving and fast, satisfying runs down sun-baked dunes.
moderate.
3.5 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels—should be able to climb short sand slopes and handle brief jostling on the quad; not recommended for those with spinal issues.
No — guides provide a short orientation on the Polaris 570cc and basic handling; beginners can participate though operator instruction is mandatory.
The tour includes one quad; operators commonly allow a driver and a passenger on a single vehicle if booked for two participants—confirm at booking.
Infants must sit on a lap and the activity is generally suitable for a wide age range, but check with the operator about minimum age and passenger policies.
The operator cancels in unsafe conditions; full refunds are typically available if canceled 24 hours before departure per the policy.
The dunes are coastal sediment deposits shaped by wind and tides; the area sits opposite La Paz’s historic shoreline communities and has been used seasonally for fishing and foraging.
Operators encourage staying on designated tracks, avoiding vegetation, and carrying out trash — the shifting dunes are ecologically sensitive and cross tidal/coastal habitats.
