Dune Buggy Self Drive 1000 CC 4 Seater

Before you head out on your dune buggy adventures, it’s important to be prepared so you can enjoy the experience safely and comfortably. From what to bring to safety guidelines, and things to avoid, this section will help you get ready and make the most of your desert ride.

Things to Carry

• Water Bottle: Stay hydrated by bringing a small, refillable bottle for before, during, and after the ride.
• Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from the sun and blowing sand for a more comfortable ride.
• Sunscreen: Apply generously to exposed skin and reapply if needed to avoid sunburn.
• Hat or Cap: Helps shield your face from the sun and glare while driving.
• Comfortable Clothing: Light, breathable clothes are best, and long sleeves or pants can protect from sand and sun.
• Closed-Toe Shoes: Sneakers or sports shoes are ideal for safety and comfort.
• Small Camera or GoPro: Capture your adventure, but secure it to prevent sand damage.
• Optional Extras: Light snacks, a light jacket or scarf for cooler mornings or evenings, and personal essentials like lip balm or hand sanitiser.

Things Not to Carry

• Valuables: Avoid bringing expensive jewellery, watches, or large amounts of cash, as these can easily get lost, damaged, or cause distractions during the ride.
• Loose Items: Scarves, flowing clothes, or loose bags can get caught in the buggy or become a safety hazard, so it’s best to leave them behind.
• Heavy Bags or Backpacks: Large or heavy bags can be uncomfortable and may interfere with your movement while driving or riding. Stick to small, secure bags if necessary.
• Glass or Breakable Items: To prevent accidents and injuries, do not carry glass bottles, fragile electronics, or other items that could break if dropped or jostled.
• Pets: Animals are not allowed on the dune buggy rides for their safety as well as yours.
• Alcohol or Drugs: Driving or riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited and extremely dangerous in desert conditions.
• Unnecessary Electronics: Avoid bringing drones or large cameras that are not securely fastened, as sand, dust, and bumps can damage them.
• Sharp Objects or Weapons: For the safety of everyone, knives, tools, or any other sharp objects are not allowed on the ride.

• Drivers must be at least 16 years old to operate the dune buggy.
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited.
• Do not drive in deep water, mud, near cliffs, or during severe weather conditions.
• Avoid wearing loose or flowing clothing, such as dresses, skirts, or scarves, that could get caught in the vehicle.
• A driving license is not required, but drivers must be physically able to handle the buggy and follow the guide’s instructions.
• Guests with certain health conditions, such as pregnancy or serious back problems, are advised not to participate due to the rugged desert terrain.

• Children Below the Minimum Age: Only drivers aged 16 and above are allowed, and very young children cannot ride for safety reasons.
• Pregnant Women: The ride includes sharp turns, bumps, and sudden movements, which can be unsafe during pregnancy.
• People with Back, Neck, or Spine Issues: The desert can be rough on your back and neck, so anyone with spinal concerns should avoid the ride.
• Individuals Recovering from Recent Surgeries or Injuries: Anyone recovering from surgery, fractures, or serious injuries should avoid dune buggy rides to prevent complications.
• Wheelchair Users: Unfortunately, the buggies aren’t set up for wheelchair access, so this adventure isn’t suitable in that case.

• Listen carefully to the safety briefing. Your guide will explain how the buggy works and how to stay safe on the dunes.
• Always wear the safety gear provided, including a helmet, gloves, and goggles, to protect yourself from bumps, dust, and flying sand.
• Stay hydrated, even if it doesn’t feel too hot, as the desert sun and air can dehydrate you quickly.
• Keep a safe distance from other buggies to allow time to react to sudden stops or obstacles.
• Follow your guide’s instructions at all times, as they know the safest routes and how to handle tricky dunes.
• Drive at a comfortable speed, especially around sharp turns or uneven slopes.
• Stay on the designated tracks to avoid getting stuck or entering unsafe areas.
• Wear closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothes, and sun protection such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
• Listen to your body, and if you feel tired, dizzy, or uncomfortable, let your guide know and take a break.
• Respect the desert by not littering and staying within marked areas to keep the dunes safe and beautiful.

• It’s a good idea to book in advance to secure your preferred time slot, especially on weekends or holidays.
• Arrive a little early to complete check-in smoothly and make the most of your experience.
• Bring a small camera or GoPro to capture your adventure, but ensure it is properly secured to avoid sand damage.
• Keep valuables safe or leave them at the hotel, and use small pockets or a secure bag for essentials.
• Listen carefully to your guide and follow instructions, but don’t be afraid to enjoy gentle turns and dune slides.
• Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after the ride, and carry a bottle if allowed.
• Take time to enjoy the moment and appreciate the beautiful desert scenery while driving or riding.
