- When sand boarding wear sunglasses, partly for the glare or just to try and keep the sand out of your eyes.
- The sand can get hot, but walking up the dune in shoes can be a bit of a pain.
- When sliding down the dune, keep your arms tucked in and lift yourself up on your elbows. The ride can be a bit bumpy sometimes, especially near the bottom, and this will protect your ribs a little.
- Easy and good fitness level required.
- This is a guided walking tour and sensible walking footwear is recommended.

- Avoid wearing loose jewellery or anything valuable that could come off easily if you wipe out.
- You must be able to climb and descend stairs and walk on unpaved or uneven terrain.
- Take off your shoes and prepare to climb… and climb… and climb. It’s easier to walk in sand without shoes.
- Do wear your sunglasses to save your eyes from both the glare and the sand blowing into them.
- This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
