A closer look

Plan the details

Open the topics that matter to you.

Shared or private?

Private comes in flavours: morning, evening, sunset, overnight and brunch. Same exclusivity, different light and meals — pick by time of day, not just price.

Location & dunes

Private tours run on the same red-dune areas, with freedom to choose quieter ridges away from convoy routes.

Know before you go

A little clarity

“Private vehicle means everything is private”

Not automatically — camp areas and shows may still be shared unless you arrange otherwise.

“Private is always better”

Better for control, not for budget. Compare your group's per-vehicle total against per-person shared prices.

How is private priced?

Per vehicle, not per head — split across your group it often beats premium shared prices.

Can we choose the pickup time?

Within reason, yes — that flexibility is the point of private.

Is private good for elderly guests?

Usually the best option: boarding help, extra stops, front seats and gentle driving on request.

Can we avoid music and shows?

Yes — request a quiet setup when reserving and we will arrange it.
