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!!!
