Your English-speaking guide leads a small group of up to eight across Atlantis Dunes for about an hour, including quad biking, sandboarding, photo stops, briefing, and admin time. Quad bikes and boards are supplied, but the R250 nature-reserve permit is extra.

“We we’re literally driven for 5 minutes to a spot to take photos and spend 20 minutes watching someone else’s photos taken and ours for 5 minutes, then handed over to another guide to drive us out. That cannot be worth R6000. I have done this activity before and it was worth the money. This time around, I am very very disappointed and feel ripped off.”
