Ultimate 4x4 Sandboarding VS Classic Sandboarding

For Ladies , leggings are most popular and for guys shorts. bring a pair of old socks to wear with our equipment as we ask you to keep your socks on for hygiene. bring sunglasses purley for the reason that they protect your eyes from sand , we try avoid the dunes if it is looking windy however if it does pick up with wind the sunglasses definitely help , you can also bring a buff/faceshield/scarf to cover your mouth and nose to protect from sand we do some sledding on the steeper side of the dunes where you are sitting on the board and lower to the ground where the sand is more turbulent.

you can select spectators when making a booking, the fee is R150 per person including permits and 4x4 transport and shade etc.  Spectators are people that wish to join but not sandboard.

We offer an industry leading, 24 hours notice for refund or reschedule policy.

10 percent fee on Refunds due to financial charges involved. If we can see there is a strong chance of rain or strong winds , i will cancel and refund you, we dont like being in bad weather ourselves :)

be aware that that the weather in Cape Town is completly different to the weather at the dunes which is 50kms away and has no mountains near it.

If your child can walk then they can pretty much sandboard, most people will fall a couple times and usually when they are about to come to a stop and lose momentum, so if you are older take this in consideration. That being said I have had a few people in their 60s and 70s . You can also sit on the board like a sled which is a lot of fun too and you cant fall as you are already sitting.

We dont get a lot of injuries and when we do it's usually a parent. We start training at a safe height usually half way up the dune and as you gain confidence we move higher up. It's more of a risk in winter which is our rain season, wet sand is hard so although we only go when the dunes are dry, they are still damp and harder than in summer. The dunes are also smaller in winter so you dont pick up the speed as you would in summer. we dont want anyone to get hurt or have a bad experience, if we see anyone struggling myself or my guides will quickly come and help explain how to control your body or recommend sitting and sledding.  

All our staff have done 1st aid training :)

I highly recommend checking out the West Coast National Park, its a beautiful nature reserve around a stunning lagoon that looks like the mediterranean, the water is much warmer than the ocean because its very shallow , its an amazing place to go after sandboarding to chill at the beach and swim , pack a picnic or go to one of the local restaurants.

Some really nice restaurants on your way back to Cape Town in the quiet seaside village of Melkbos are The Melkbos Kitchena few steps from the ocean and Die Damhuis  both offer great sea food ,service and atmosphere another popular local eatery is Melkies , they do great pizza and tapas with a twist.

Our activities exclude transport as many people hire a car . You can order a uBer , just search for sandboarding cape town in the app as a location , also costs around R900, ask the driver to wait for you for your return  transport.
