We had a great experience on our first sandboarding outing. It’s a smaller tour operator that mainly cater families and small groups. They have access to dunes of different heights and level of experience. The staff is very friendly and because they cater smaller groups also more attentive to anyone needs. Definitely recommended.

Zita_L, Jan 2026

Highly recommended. Awesome experience for families with kids. With different levels of sand dunes to play with, and elderly can sit under the beach shelter for rest.

Amazing!

It was very hot so bring sunscreen, hat and a lot of cold water (you'll need it!). Wear comfortable clothes. Bring a camera because it will be a fun memories. Not much people but still good you have all the place. You can chose how high you sand boarding. Be prepared going back up you'll be catching your breath!

Lovely and helpful staff

Akanksha_S, Oct 2025

Lovely and helpful staff Will use them again On time and they sent us all the information beforehand

Super simple booking and transport to the dunes. Can stay as long or as short as you like and a great experience overall

Rob_S, Jul 2025

Super simple booking and transport to the dunes. Can stay as long or as short as you like and a great experience overall. The dunes are beautiful and the kids 8,11,13 loved the sandboarding so much we stayed for 4 hours.

The spot wasn't good

Valeria_M, Jan 2025

The sandboarding location with this operator wasn't good. Few meters further was another company on a better spot (better for sliding and photos), but we were not allowed to go on other dunes. So no, I'm not happy with my choice.

Great experience , highly recommended !

Great experience with friends and families! we tried sandboarding and sandsurfing with different slopes for 2 hours, kids loved it!! seniors can also sit aside in the shaded picnic area with tables, chairs, watching the kids to surf.

Amazing sand Dunes experience!

Yan_Y, Nov 2024

The sand Dunes were spectacular! Love the 4WD rides and the sand boarding sessions. Every staff members were friendly and nice. It can get super hot and be at risk of heatstroke from the activities. Pls take lots of drinking water, a cup and shades for protection .

Nice affordable experience

David_P, Nov 2024

It's a fun experience the 4wd ride to the dunes is nice itself taking in the landscape. I went down the slopes about 10 times after that I was tired of walking back up the slopes. There's a marquee with chairs you can sit for a break and I believe there was water for $1 per bottle but I'd recommend bringing your own just incase, also a hat and sunscreen. It's a nice thrill surfing down the dunes I recommended checking it out

The activity was great...

I would do it again

Romana_W, Dec 2023

They let us come later because it was too hot outside. Very kind! The ride to the dunes was fun and boarding even more. It is not scary at all.

Amazing experience

Cristian_A, Dec 2023

I loved this experience, the treatment was the best, despite our limited English they found a way to give us quality service and make us feel very comfortable

Great visit! Parking Nightmare

Thomas_P, Dec 2023

Parking is an absolute nightmare, give yourself plenty of time to get a space especially if it’s during holidays. Surfing is brilliant once you get out there!
