Fantastic fun highly recommended - Was a fantastic experience Joshua our guide was very knowledgeable friendly and put it as at ease straight away. the 4x4 driving experience over the dunes was fantastic and we had a lot of fun. We saw turtles in there natural habitat. Unfortunately the lemon sharks weren’t out to play the local drink tasting in the oldest village in the island was good fun too. My husband said the frigid could’ve been stronger. (50%) lol We met a lovely family from Portugal and it was just a great trip. Great experience driver was good quiet and friendly. Would recommend to all

Relaxed round trip - We were lucky enough to see the turtles. Only the sharks we could not see as described. The tour was cool and our two guides were very friendly!

What a fantastic trip! - Wow what a fantastic trip. Was a great day out! Sandboarding was fun even for us oldies, saw a couple of turtles and the sharks too at a distance. The 4x4 off road ride was a great experience! The beaches were outstanding! The trip to the local village, shots and food samples were great fun! We were made very welcome. We met some wonderful people on the trip too. Just 6 of us.. and our guide Freddy was amazing, informative and fun! Absolutely worth every penny. *Tips.. take sunblock, specially for lips and head, for the exciting 4x4 ride. 😃

Excellent four hour trip - We booked this trip at the very last minute on the recommendation of someone at our hotel. It turned out to be a highlight of the holiday. Really friendly, knowledgeable guides and great stop offs on the tour.

Recommended - Very fun experience. Sand surfing great, seeing the turtles, sharks, and beautiful beach amazing, tasting interesting. Did not realize we would be in the back of a pickup truck- bring lots of sun cream and a cover up!

Beautiful walk with beautiful landscapes - Beautiful 4x4 ride in beautiful landscapes of dunes, desert and beautiful beaches with very few people Only downside, you only see turtles and sharks from a very long distance, you barely guess them
