It is a fantastic...

It is a fantastic experience. Really appreciate accommodating a single rider. Down is the way part, climbing back up the dunes is a workout.

Unsafe Experience and No Accountability After Injury

I booked this sandboarding experience with high expectations, but it resulted in a serious injury and no responsibility from the operator. During the initial briefing, before I even got on a board, I fell and broke my wrist. There was no proper safety instruction, no guidance on how to fall safely, and no close supervision from the guides. I was never given a liability waiver to sign or informed of any risks. Because of the injury, I was not able to participate in the activity at all. I went to the hospital and I have medical documentation and video of the incident. When I contacted the tour provider and Viator, I was told that they would not issue a refund, even though I did not take part in the activity because I was injured during their orientation. Accidents can happen, but the lack of care, accountability, or even basic empathy afterward was disappointing. I expected safety to be taken seriously and for the situation to be handled fairly. I am sharing this so others can make an informed decision. If you book this experience, please understand that safety instruction is limited and if you are injured, you may receive no support or refund.

Amazing First Sandboarding Experience – So Much Fun

We had an incredible time sandboarding with Cris! My wife and I had never tried sandboarding (or even snowboarding) before, but thanks to Cris’s expert coaching, we felt comfortable right from the start. We spent two amazing hours having fun, learning, and laughing — even falling into the sand was enjoyable! The activity is very accessible even for complete beginners, and it’s a fantastic experience for anyone looking to try something new. A tip: bring sunscreen, a hat, and a scarf to cover your face from the sand. Thank you so much, Cris, for such a fantastic and unforgettable adventure!

Horrible Experience....Deceptive Ads.

This Operator is not reasonable. I will not recommend this to anyone. If you are 20 years and above this is not for you. You will slide down but you will have to walk your way up the Sandy hill. Thats more of an exercise than fun. The Operator didnt mention that. We had to walk to into the Dune instead of going with the Quard Bikes. Horrible Experience

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience with us. We apologize that our activity did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to respectfully point out that our tour description clearly outlines what is included in each package. Unfortunately, you had booked our R200 package, which involves walking up the sandy hill, whereas our R900 package includes a 2-hour jeep ride up the dunes. We understand that this may have caused confusion, and we recommend that in the future, you carefully read the tour inclusions before booking. Our guides are trained to follow specific protocols and safety guidelines, and we cannot accommodate special requests that deviate from our standard procedures. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will consider our other packages in the future that better align with your preferences. Best regards, Owner

Boss experience

We had the best experience with our guide/coach Chris Kachidza. We were impressed with how friendly he was and how were able to sand board right from the start. We definitely recommend our guide Chris. One tip - get the 4x4 experience its a bit more to pay for but you will save time and your legs by walking back up the dunes each time you go down.

I took my 2 sons Mikey and Garreth to their 1st sand dune boarding experience and they absolutely loved every second... an experience most def recommended to anyone who has time. 10 out of 10 experience for sure.. A big shout out also needs to go to our guide Chris, who was fantastic all round.

Terrible customer service

Very unprofessional. I attempted to book a session and wanted to use a Hyperli voucher. They forced me to pay directly to them to “receive commission” and when I did not feel comfortable using an unsecured payment method they refused service stating that they don’t accept Hyperli vouchers during peak periods. I opted to use another service provider instead. After reviewing them poorly they then proceeded to watch my Instagram stories and message me from different whatsapp numbers to harass me. Terrible business practices and I would worry about my safety with them.

Operator response

I m so sorry that happens, we don’t understand what you are saying i m sure you are lost, please review the correct company, for we don’t work with hyperli and we don’t use WhatsApp when communicating with our customers. Please review the correct company

Amazing activity just outside of Cape Town

We had amazing ~2 hours sandboarding in the Dunes of Atlantis. Everything went according to schedule and we had loads of fun. They offer sandboards with and without closed shoes so both is possible. Cool drinks are provided and you need good stamina to walk up the hill again and again and again. Great activity with an amazing guide, but be prepared to fall on our bum again and again and again! 😃

Thank you for your delightful review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the sandboarding adventure in the Dunes of Atlantis. We understand that climbing the hill can be tiring, and we want to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. For those who prefer not to walk up again, we offer an alternative experience where we'll drive you to the top of the hill after each slide. This way, you can focus on the thrill of sandboarding without the uphill trek. We appreciate your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for more exciting experiences in the future!

Great, unique and fun experience.

Great, unique and fun experience. The instructors were very helpful and friendly. They also provided for some shade and cold water to cool down from the heat of the sun.
