Buggy Tours

A buggy is the choice for guests who want to feel the dunes rather than just cross them. You sit side by side in a caged two-seater with harnesses, following a guide who knows which faces are safe to climb.

What it feels like

Buggies handle soft sand better than a quad and let two people share the same experience — one drives, one holds on and films. Most guests swap seats halfway.

The guide sets the pace and reads the dunes. Nothing is done at speed until he is confident you are comfortable with the controls.

Arranging a tour

Buggy tours are an optional extra and depend on availability, so mention them in your enquiry if you already know you want one. We will confirm the current rate and a departure time that avoids the midday heat.

Highlights

  • Two-seat buggies with roll cage and harnesses
  • Guide leads every tour
  • Helmets and goggles provided
  • Sunrise and sunset departures available

Good to know

  • Driving licence required for the driver.
  • Ask us for the current rate — buggy availability is limited.
  • Bring a scarf and sunglasses; sand travels.
