Flying down sand dunes!

Riding in the Swakopmund dunes was such a surprising experience! I wasn’t expecting an adrenaline rush but I sure got one. Zooming down the huge sand dunes was very exciting. A bit like flying down a ski slope actually! I definitely recommend the tour. The...More

Experiencing the desert on a bike!

We had a wonderful outing in a group of nine, very well led by Mark, the owner. It is amazing what you can do on a fat bike on desert sand. Totally different from any other experience, really good!

Amazing!

We signed up for a ‘low-tide beach cruise’ in the morning and ‘the scenic desert tour’ in the afternoon. Our guide was Rich. Not only we did fatbiking, we also learned a lot about the ocean and desert. We really had a blast. Recommended!!!

Great fatbike ride on the dunes !!!

Our fatbike tour on the dunes was a great experience. We enjoyed the ride and specially the drops. My MTB friends are jealous about the nice photos. Mark explained many things about Swakopmund and the desert. Really satisfied!!

You don't need to be a mountain biker to enjoy this desert ride (but I am). A reasonable level of riding ability and moderate fitness will do fine. Henk (my guide) explained the way to ride on sand and had an excellent knowledge of the...More
