4.00It 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!

5.00My family had great fun sandboarding until my son was exhausted. Before our trip Ana was very helpful and kept me updated when plans changed. She also promptly responded and changed my booking when I accidentally booked the wrong day. Online booking was easy. It was simple to catch the shuttle bus which left regularly from the meeting point, which was next to where another operator runs camel rides along the beach.
Exceeded all expectations!

5.00The service was fantastic and an amazing experience for adults and kids!! When the day we had scheduled turned out to be too windy, the team was extremely flexible and allowed us to re-book with ease for the next day. They were helpful and responsive with all our questions and we will definitely be returning! Thanks again for an awesome day.

1.00We booked this tour for our group of 4, we had car trouble in the morning but had a 2 1/2 hour drive to get there En route, we texted them to let them know we were running late…a few minutes later received a text that said “disregard the forecast, it is raining and we are packing up” We were well on our way, continued with the trip and upon our arrival found the weather favorable and several other tour operators working. Be sure to chose another company, these guys were unreliable and seemed they just wanted the day off! We used 4 Wheel Drive Tours are Us and they were fantastic!
Super fun activity!

4.00It was spectacular scene. Friendly staffs, great 4WD journey. It was extremely hot, hat is essential. I couldn’t last long here with the heat. The sands just burned my foot. Probably spring time or autumn would be better. A must visit while you’re in port stephens.
Super fun and special!

5.00Sand boarding was quite daunting to me at first, but the team at Sand Dune Safaris were a bright spot in an otherwise cloudy day. I would 100% suggest anyone try this unique activity. You can sit down or stand up, and they have different levels of slope for how comfortable you are. Prepare to get sandy and a good glute workout as you climb back up the dunes. I spent an hour and a half sand boarding but you could stay as long as you wanted and they had a shade sanctuary. I’m so happy I decided to give this experience a go!
