Additional Information
Know Before You Go:
What to Pack: Bring baby wipes, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and a change of clothes (sand gets everywhere!).
What to Wear: Dress children in lightweight, breathable cotton clothing and easy-to-remove shoes or sandals.
Strollers & Prams: Strollers cannot be pushed on soft sand, but you can leave them safely inside the air-conditioned vehicle during dune activities. A baby carrier or sling is highly recommended.
Hydration & Snacks: While complimentary chilled water and juices are provided, feel free to pack your child’s favorite familiar snacks or baby food.
Not Recommended
Rough Dune Bashing is not recommended for infants under 3 years old, pregnant mothers, or guests with severe back issues (a smooth drive alternative is automatically provided).
Children of all ages are welcome! Babies and toddlers can join when using appropriate car seats. We adjust the drive to a slow, scenic route to ensure full comfort for infants and toddlers.
Yes! Safety is our top priority. Child safety seats and booster seats are available free of charge. Please specify your children’s ages during booking so we can equip the vehicle in advance.
High-intensity dune bashing can be too bumpy for toddlers or infants. For families traveling with small children, our driver switches to a gentle, smooth desert drive over flat sand paths so everyone can enjoy the views without any sudden movements.
Pickups take place early between 6:30 AM and 7:30 AM to beat the afternoon heat. You will be back at your hotel around 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM, leaving the rest of the day open for rest, lunch, or poolside relaxation.
Standard self-drive quad bikes require drivers to be at least 16 years old. However, younger kids aged 5 to 15 can ride as passengers on a 2-seater quad bike or dune buggy driven by a parent or one of our expert guides.
Our drivers are trained to drive extra smoothly when children are on board. If your child feels uneasy, simply tell the driver they will stop immediately in a safe spot so your child can get fresh air.
Yes, our main desert station includes clean, air-conditioned restroom facilities where parents can use changing areas before heading onto the sand.
We provide complimentary chilled bottled water, fruit juices, and light refreshments. If your child has special dietary requirements, you are welcome to bring their favorite snacks or formula along in the vehicle.
