A great half day out, no previous experience necessary. All the equipment you need is supplied, simply turn up, and get started. Was surprisingly faster than we imagined, but also surprisingly easy to pick up (no previous snowboarding or sandboarding experience needed).

We had a great few hours with Toric sand boarding on the sand dunes. He was brilliant with our 2 boys and made it loads of fun for them but also understood that we were more nervous and helped us every step of the way. Brilliant time would thoroughly recommend

This was a really unique experience and Dylan was an awesome guide! It was fun to try something new and we got a little tour of Cape Town driving to the dunes.

My family did the sandboarding with Taariq … I wasn’t sure what to expect but Taariq was by far the best tour guide/instructor we have had. Taariq made sandboarding easy to understand and fun for a few hours. Taariq was even impressed by my son Aiden and took him to the bigger dune for more speed. I would recommend asking for Taariq when booking this activity.

This is about their service as we didn't end up doing the sandboarding. Note: they are very responsive here, not so much via e-mail. We made a booking. They informed us right away that the activity needed a certain amount of participants. They kept trying and informing us the status throughout the days. When we decided we didn't want to wait another day and risk not having anything planned, they refunded us right away.
