What To Expect

Our combo deals are an excellent idea for those wanting to pack as much adrenaline fun into one day as possible. You'll experience the sheer thrill of riding a quad bike through Namibia's boundless expanse of shifting sand dunes, and also get to speed down these giant dunes on a lie- down sandboard. This is a 2 hour excursion: Guests will ride to the sandboarding location on a quad, and also ride back to our facility on a quad. Guests will receive a short introduction and safety briefing before departure. No experience is required for these activities. All equipment, including the quad bikes and sand boards, are extremely easy to handle and our guides will be with you every step of the way. Stops will be made when necessary and to take photos - we certainly want you to capture this amazing experience. Kids are more than welcome. Both of these activities are considered 'MUST-DO's" in Namibia! This is a fantastic and memorable experience in the oldest desert in the world.

Quite a thrilling experience riding the big dunes up and down and around! 10/10 quadbiking experience. The sandboarding was really fun, but also very tiring if you’re unfit, as you have to walk back up the dune after sandboarding down.
Bad pick up service 😞

It was our first time on a quad bike, and the kids (9 and 12) shared bikes with us. This made the experience a bit more stressful as there was extra weight on the bike and I was worried for my daughter’s safety (she wasn’t holding on as well as I would have liked) and the quad bikes are slightly unstable on the dunes. However, our guide was very supportive and halfway through the trip we adjusted the arrangement and he took one of the children on his bike. The kids loved it, and the scenery was stunning. Sandboarding was loads of fun, definitely the highlight for me. I could have stayed for longer. It was also pleasantly cool out on the dunes. We’ve come away with amazing family memories.
One of the most incredible experiences ever

We went with 12 guys on the tour and really didn’t know what to expect, we were greeted by the bus driver Bradley who was outstanding.( Although we were a little bit late to the pick up 😬) Arriving at the spot, the organization and staff were incredible, beyond our expectations. We were giver 2 tour guides Philly and Ben (hope I got the names right), who introduced us to all of the safety rules needed for a safe and fun trip. We started the 12 of us, all excited and of we went into the desert. The photos, the tips and tricks for the 4W, the explanations of the landscape and the kindness of that team of Tour Guides, made the tour even better. Thank you Philly and Ben for giving us this unforgettable experience, we will be back for sure.
What a fun adventure!

So much fun! Hilton led our family (kids 10 & 12) on a fun and exciting quad ride through the dunes just outside of Swakop. Very much enjoyed the action, as well as the sandboarding down the dunes. Water is provided, Hilton was more than happy to take photographs and videos of our adventure. Highly recommended fun activity for all.

Look no further. Just phone and book your spot for any activity they have that's how good of a experience it was. We had a lovely guide with a lot of patience and he looked well after us as we enjoyed the dunes. The bikes was in good condition and even had a smaller bike for the children which was perfect. The sand boarding was a blast with the perfect dune chosen to go down. You have do to an activity with these people when in Swakopmund.
