Dragon Dune Sandboarding
Dragon Dune Sandboarding
Unrivalled, unsurpassed in South Africa is this sandboard ride. Down the largest and longest dune near Mossel Bay, Western Cape along the popular Garden Route. The world famous Dragon Dune is the most exhilarating ride on sand, and right here in South Africa to boot. Well maintained, litter-free and smooth slopes where footprints don’t exist.
All tours meet at the Mossel Bay Engen 1 Stop petrol station outside Mossel Bay on the N2 towards Cape Town. Backpackers can be picked up at an extra cost.
Three Dunes
There are three dunes of different lengths and slopes, catering for riders from beginners to the most experienced and daring. In fact, if you don’t have enough confidence to stand up, you can also sit on the board or lie on your stomach. Also all age groups, corporate groups, school groups, team building groups, etc. are welcome.
Baby Dune is a 100 m gentle slope where experienced instructors will of course teach beginners the basics of sandboarding.
Big-Boy Dune is 180 m long for those scared of heights or not yet ready for the Dragon to build their confidence while enjoying the striking views over the Indian Ocean.
Dragon Dune is a whopping 170 m high with 350 m rides where in fact maximum speeds of 90 km/h have been reached.
Gear needed
Dragon Dune Sandboarding provides all the right equipment such as boards and helmets. You must make your booking one day in advance and the duration of the trip is 3 hours. They focus more on the morning sessions, but afternoon trip can also be arranged.
You should bring along closed shoes, sunscreen, drinks and a camera as well as short pants on warm days.
You simply have to try this at least once in your life. This is tremendous fun!
