It was exactly as described. Lots of photo stops, sand boarding, sand dune buggy riding, and an amazing sunset. I will say it was a bit more intense with the buggy riding then I expected but my husband loved it.

Great time out in the dunes. Great sunset!

David_B, May 2025
Great time. Although would have preferred less time sandboarding and more actual dune buggy riding! The sunset was epic!

Badly organised and didn’t turn up

Alex_R, Dec 2024
This was very disappointing due to the awful comms with the organiser. The instructions on the booking said the experience was from 4PM to 6PM and we received a whatsapp message on the day reiterating this information but also asking us to aim to arrive 20 minutes earlier, at 3:40PM We arrived at the meet up on time and nobody was there so we messaged the organiser to confirm and they said we were in the correct place and people would arrive later. After waiting just over an hour and messaging the organiser several times we eventually left and asked for the booking to be refunded. We ended up paying 3 sol (less than £1) and going up to the sand dunes ourselves and watching the sunset. It was beautiful and we didn’t need to deal with a rubbish company!

Thrill Ride

Christopher_W, Jul 2024
Had a great time. It was worth every dollar. Lasted long enough, take a jacket it gets cold at sunset.

Adventure of a life time

Jose_C, Jun 2024
An amazing experience of a life time. Well worth the wait. Our driver was amazing and experienced. Took care of us up to the end. The routes didn't disappoint. A gopro is a must have. Sandboarding was also an amazing on the two slopes they bring too. Definitely recommend this tour when out in Huacachina.

A great experience

Katie, Apr 2024
Kevin went out of his way to make sure I got to my activity as my bus was delayed! I had the most incredible time and loved seeing the sunset over the dunes, the buggy ride over the dunes was like a wild rollercoaster!

Abenteuerlicher Sundowner

Patrick_D, Apr 2024
Unglaublicher Sonnenuntergang, die Buggy fahrt war für unsere Verhältnisse etwas zu extrem. Aber wem es gefällt Achterbahn zu fahren ist es natürlich top

Response from Host, Apr 2024
