Sand Boarding & Sand Surfing Safari

We offer 3 levels of sandboarding/sandsurfing:

1. Sit Down
2. Stand Up: Basic board with foot straps
3. Stand up: ProBoard*

Most people are comfortable with the sitdown and basic stand up boards. For an added stand up challenge ask about our ProBoards, they are suited to those with extensive snowboard experience and will give you the closest experience to snow boarding you will get on the dunes! And best of all, it’s all included in the ticket price!

*Subject to availability

2. Meet us at the departure point in Anna Bay, outlined below. Bring some bottled water, a warm jacket in winter, sunscreen, sunglasses and your camera/phone. We have a place to put your belongings at the sandboarding location. No special shoes required as it is done barefoot.
3. Hop onto one of our 4WD vehicles for your 10 minute trip over the dunes to begin your adventure. We value the customer experience and therefore have vehicles running every 10-15 minutes to minimise your wait time, so don’t worry if you are running a little late!
4. Once you arrive at our sandboarding location, one of our friendly instructors will meet you and instruct you in the safe method of sandboarding for both the sit down and stand up types. You get to choose your board! Our dune starts out with small slopes and continues on to the monster slope. You can choose the size of the hill based on your confidence level.
5. Its entirely up to you how long you spend on the dunes. It’s unlimited, so stay and play as long as you like! Most people spend 1-2 hours. There is plenty of shade, grab a chair and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Take as many photos as you like!
6. When you are ready to leave, just let one of our instructors know and we will send a vehicle up to bring you back to the car park.

• Dress for the weather. We suggest beach clothes during the summer and warmer clothes during winter.
  
• Please bring enough bottled water for your group (and some snacks if you wish)
• Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses are recommended. Sandboarding is done barefoot, you can wear your shoes up to the location and take them off there.
  
• Camera/phone is a must to capture all those memories!
• Bring a small bag or backpack to put all your belongings in, we have somewhere out of the sand to place your things.

For the safety of our staff and customers, we may close our operations if we consider the weather to be unsafe.

The main weather safety hazard on the dunes is extreme heat. Since our sand is very reflective due to its high silica content, on a hot day temperatures can be amplified to well over 50 degrees centigrade. Due to these extreme temperatures, we will generally open earlier in the morning on a hot day and close around midday or whenever it becomes too hot. We will also close during extremely windy conditions, torrential rain and electrical storms.

The most ideal conditions for sand boarding are cool days, after rain or during light showers. Wet sand is ideal for sliding on due to the fact it is nice and smooth so you go faster!

Finally, we take our duty of care to our staff and customers very seriously. We also want you to thoroughly enjoy your experience on the dunes. If you are unsure whether conditions are suitable please feel free to call or text as actual weather conditions can vary significantly from forecast!
