Being the first time we quad biked we had a great time. In addition, the monitor, seeing that we learned how to drive fast, led us through some very funny loops, which we repeated at our request. We left very punctual and finished at the normal time, so we were tipped. The dunes are spectacular and if the day accompanies you will enjoy beautiful views. Highly recommended.

With Sakkie as our guide we had a very fun and safe experience-90 min quad ride and sandboard ride. He provided all the safety information we required and was very attentive. It was super fun. Check in and hotel pick up and drop off were very timely and friendly. Excellent service.

Absolutely brilliant! Would definitely book again. 90 minutes is perfect as you have to get in before you can drive into the big dunes.

I really enjoyed this and recommend it. I ride quad bike (ATV) several times a week, but not in the stunning environment. I did not rate full stars for a couple of small things. First, my phone does not work here and they do not have Wi-Fi, so I could not prove I had paid. I had to hike about five blocks to a cafe for Wi-Fi, to then screen shot my ticket. Do this before you go. Also I wore shorts, the bike engines get very hot. I suggest long pants, and keeping you feet as far out and forward as possible on the foot rests. I did 90 minutes, but if on a budget, an hour would give you the experience.

We were a bit worried as the weather was not in our favour when we arrived. However, once we got going and got used to our bikes the skies cleared and we had an amazing time on the dunes which felt too short. Mathew was a great guide and gave me enough time to get used to the bike as it was my 1st time. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Too much fun in a spectacular setting. We had some experience before with quad bikes and our guide watched carefully and soon decided to open the throttle. Hit 60 km/h plus through roller coasters and banked turns in the higher dunes. Rated 10/10 by all in the family from ages 12 to 55. Always follow the guides tracks as sometimes just a metre or two the wrong way can be big trouble. Don’t bother with sandboarding…..do this instead!

We spontaneously came up with the idea to do this quad tour. We arrived and were 5min later on the quad bike. Particular emphasis was placed on hygiene in the helmets - everyone wore a hairnet and the helmets were disinfected. After a short introduction, we went straight to the dunes. An hour and a half was full throttle. We only took a break to take a picture (you could have taken more breaks if you wanted, but we didn't want to). During the tour, the quad bike broke down on a passenger. Here we were able to collect another plus points, because the broken bike had been replaced in the middle of the dunes within 5 minutes and then we went straight on. A successful afternoon with a lot of fun. A real must in Swakopmund!
