5.00Absolutely amazing, JP was not in a rush, showed us wildlife, gave us a lot of time climping the dunes and made sure that we came also good back home while ma manovering perfectly through the sand dunes. 💯! Cannot get any better.
Adventure, historical, eco, animal (small and big) all in one tour!

5.00Had a fantastic experience with Martin as our guide on a self drive tag along tour yesterday. This was something that has been on my bucket list for many years, and the trip down to Sandwich harbour via the beach and then back across the dunes was stunning! Martin was a great guide with a good sense of humour and great knowledge of the area and the wildlife. Nothing felt rushed and he just went with the flow of our 4 person, 2 vehicle group. The lunch provided was also delicious and they also catered for the 2 vegans in our group. I’d highly recommend this trip to any avid 4wders. It’s an experience of a life time.
Fabulous day trip. Couldn't recommend it more

5.00It's an awesome tour organized by JP JP is a fantastic expertized guy who learns you who to drive in sand and dunes. He gives you fantastic explainations about animals and nature. The champagne and picnic in a lovely place are the plus. With him you drive in incredible landscape. It has really been a great day we will never forget. I just think that the price is too high.
