I had a really good tour!!

I picked this tour because it takes in more than only the dunes. Atins and the Atlantic coast makes this a more complete tour in my eyes. Everything was good, pick up and drop off at my Pousada. I had a really good day!

Exceptional experience

Incredible experience! It is a long trip but worthied. Fully recommended when visiting Brazil. The only issue is the guide didn’t speak any English even though I sign up for English tour speaker. Communication was tough.

If you love adventure and authenticity, Dune Dreams is the way to go! Aftab guided us through the dunes like a true expert. The sandboarding and dune bashing were incredible experiences.” Ahmad Mushtaq

Amazing way to explore Lencois Maranhenses and more!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to explore Lencois Maranhenses and the beautiful village of Atins. My favorite part of the tour was driving through the sand dunes to get to popular lagoons and even some lagoons that were less known! Visiting the village of Atins to eat and explore on our own was highlight as well. If you’re on the fence about booking this don’t be just do it you’ll have a great experience 👍🏻
