5.00We (two couples is separate cars) had an awesome morning of desert creatures, interesting facts, dune driving and incredible views. We learnt plenty about dune driving - it is somewhat harder but way more fun doing it yourself! Thanks for all the assistance when we got stuck or struggled, and none of us will ever forget cresting and driving down that last dune! We would all recommend it to anyone!
Just sublime

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
