Desert buggy rides are exciting, and the best adventures are the ones where everyone feels safe and confident. Whether you are a first-timer or have ridden before, these simple habits help you enjoy the dunes responsibly.
Listen to the Safety Briefing
Pay attention to the briefing before you ride. It covers the controls, how to ride in a group and what to do in different situations. If you are not sure about something, ask. Do not guess when it comes to safety.
Wear the Safety Gear You Are Given
Use the safety equipment provided on your tour, such as seat belts, helmets and eye protection, and make sure it fits properly before you start. Keep your seat belt fastened throughout the ride.
Follow Your Guide
Your guide knows the dunes, the terrain and the safest lines to follow. Stay in the group, follow their instructions and keep a safe distance from the buggy in front of you.
Drive Smoothly
- Use gentle throttle and steering, especially on your first dunes.
- Avoid sudden turns or braking when the sand is soft.
- Slow down when the terrain is uneven or you cannot see over a crest.
- Keep your hands and feet inside the buggy at all times.
Know Your Limits
If you are tired, uncomfortable or unsure, tell your guide and take a break. A good adventure is one you finish feeling happy, not one that pushes you beyond what you want to do.
Respect the Desert
The desert is a fragile environment. Stay on the routes your guide uses, take your rubbish with you and respect wildlife and other visitors. Responsible riding keeps the dunes beautiful for everyone.
