Head off through a regenerated bush track onto Stockton Sand Dunes on a tag-a-long tour led by Aboriginal guides riding only at a speed the clients are comfortable with. From the top of the highest dunes, which can reach 30 metres in height, you can enjoy 360-degree views of the area. The 400cc Kymco Quad Bikes are fully automatic and exceptionally safe. Children (seven-thirteen) would ride a smaller 90cc Quad Bike.
You will be given an introduction to the quad bikes, including safe ATV handling and riding techniques. A helmet and hi-vis vest will be arranged for you as well before you head off.
They own and control the highest coastal sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere and they are not open to the public, so, the only way to see the big dunes is through them.
No experience is necessary.
Please note: the high dunes are dangerous for untrained riders and are only available under the tour guide’s supervision.
