FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
All of our tours are guided, meaning you will always follow our guide who leads the way on their own machine. The guide takes you along the safest and most scenic trails, and you will stay in their tracks as you explore the terrain.
We offer guided tours because the sand dunes are constantly changing. The sand can be soft and unpredictable, making it essential to have an experienced guide leading the way.
Passenger Option: If you prefer not to drive, you can ride as a passenger while the guide operates the UTV.
Group Responsibility: It’s important that the primary person making the booking communicates with the rest of their group so everyone knows what to expect upon arrival.
Location: We operate in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes Recreation Area, which spans over 5,000 acres of diverse trails and terrain.

Our pricing is based on the number of machines you need, not the number of people in your party.
Pricing Per Machine: If you are a party of 4, you will need to book at least 1 machine. For a party of 6, you would need to book 2 machines. Alternatively, you can book 1 machine and reserve the remaining 2 spots in the guide’s machine under the "Guide Drives + 2 Passengers" option.
Passenger Option: If you prefer to ride as passengers and have the guide drive, each person will pay the passenger rate for the tour of your choosing.
Switching Drivers: If you wish to switch drivers during the tour, you will still only pay for 1 machine. Depending on your tour option, there will be at least 2 opportunities to switch drivers.
Driver Requirements:
All drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license.
The driver’s license must be presented at check-in. No exceptions.

A UTV Side by Side is a type of off-road vehicle that drives much like a car. You’re seated in a side-by-side configuration—two people in the front and two in the back. The vehicles are equipped with seat belts and roll bars overhead for safety. These machines are designed to handle the sand dunes with ease and provide a comfortable, stable ride.
Driving a UTV:
Tour Experience: Keep in mind that this is a scenic tour, and the primary focus is on enjoying the breathtaking views of the dunes. If you're tense or uncomfortable while driving, it can distract you from the experience.
Driving on Sand: Driving in the sand feels similar to driving on snow—there’s a unique sensation of sliding and tipping, and the sand is very soft. To avoid accidents or tipping, we don’t allow activities like fishtailing or doing donuts.
Climbing Hills: When climbing dunes, you will need to apply extra gas to make it to the top and avoid getting stuck.
Important Notes:
No Free Riding: At no point during the tour will drivers be allowed to free ride or explore the dunes independently. You will always follow the guide on the designated trail.
Age and Licensing Requirements: You must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license to drive a UTV. Passengers must be 3 years or older.
Passenger Comfort: Young children may need a booster seat to ensure they can see out and avoid motion sickness. We have a limited supply of booster seats available upon check in let your guide know if you will need one. We recommend bringing your own booster seat for your little ones for a guaranteed seat.
Safety Gear:
Helmet Requirement: All guests—whether driving or riding as a passenger—must wear a helmet. No exceptions.
