30 minutes behind the wheel
After a short briefing on the controls, you drive the single seater yourself for the full 30 minutes. Go at the pace you're comfortable with, while the guide shows you the way through the dunes.

Why a single seater
The purest way to drive the dunes
A 1 seat dune buggy is built for one person: the driver. Nobody beside you, nobody to take turns with. Every climb and descent is yours.
Photos of your ride
Photography is included, so you can focus on driving.
No licence needed
Buggies are driven off-road, so a driving licence isn't required.
Great for solo travellers
No need to find a partner to share a buggy with.
Ride together, drive alone
Friends can each book a single seater and drive as a group.

Do I need a driving licence for a dune buggy 1 seater?

Drivers must meet the minimum age for the buggy. Tell us the driver's age when you book, and we'll confirm.
I've never driven off-road. Can I still do it?
