Did you know you can surf a sand dune? Thrill-seekers of all ages will want to try sandboarding in the desert or by the beach for a unique dune adventure.
Sandboarding is similar to snowboarding, but you do it on sand dunes rather than snow. Strap on a specially designed sandboard, and you’re off.
Try sandboarding down the white sand dunes of Lancelin outside Perth in Western Australia. Or go tobogganing and sandboarding down the pristine dunes of Moreton Island off the Brisbane coast in Queensland.
Some of the world’s most legendary sandboarding is in the United Arab Emirates. Travel across the Dubai desert by 4WD to take an exciting sandboarding safari across the dunes.
Camel rides offer a more sedate journey across the dunes, but for sheer thrills you’ll want to try sandboarding in Dubai.

This was a fun excursion to the desert. On the day, I was the only participant booked so it turned out to be a private tour. The driver/guide was very professional and accommodating. The 4-wheeling prior to the sandboarding was fun and edgy. The sand boarding equipment was a very good standard. There wasn't much instruction so it's a case of 'give it a go'. Be prepared to get dirty (sandy). I enjoyed the morning and would definitely recommend it as a break from the shops and glitz of the city.

What a fantastic experience. Our driver 'Mustafa' met us from the cruise ship, we then picked up another couple from a hotel, then we were on our way. Out in the desert the tyres were let down and we were off into the dunes. Mustafa was a very good driver and the dunes are great fun. We stopped for photo breaks then made our way to the camel farm for more photos. We then drove to the camp where we were to spend the evening. We are in our 60's but had a great time. So much was included in the price, camel ride, henna tattoo, even sandboarding - which we declined but looked like great fun. All this followed by a full on BBQ. Curry, salads lamb, burgers and chicken as much as you wanted. Thank you for a great evening. It was the best day of our cruise.
