Frequently Asked Questions

Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and casual clothing that you do not mind getting covered in sand. Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen are also highly recommended to protect against the sun while out on the dunes.

Sandboarding is an outdoor activity similar to snowboarding where you glide down sand dunes on a specialized board. This specific experience combines sandboarding with a guided 4WD dune buggy ride across the Stockton dunes.

Yes, children are welcome to join the sandboarding and 4WD dune buggy experience, making it a suitable activity for families. Kids can safely ride in the 4WD buggy and use the sandboards to slide down the dunes.

The experience takes place on the Stockton Sand Dunes, an expansive coastal dune system located just north of the Port Stephens area. The guided 4WD tour will drive you directly into the dunes to begin your sandboarding and buggy activities.

Your guide will provide a safety briefing and demonstrate how to balance and steer your sandboard before you begin. You can choose to ride down the dunes standing up or lie on your stomach for a more relaxed descent.

The experience includes all necessary sandboarding gear, safety equipment, and transport in a 4WD vehicle from the meeting point to the Stockton Sand Dunes.

The entire guided tour typically takes around two hours, which includes the 4WD transfer, safety briefings, dune buggy riding, and sandboarding time.

Participants first receive a safety briefing and instruction before taking turns driving or riding in the 4WD dune buggies, followed by free time to sandboard down the dunes.

Tours generally depart from the operator's base in Anna Bay, which is approximately a two-and-a-half-hour drive north of the Sydney CBD.

Yes, a current and valid driver's license is required to drive the dune buggy, though non-licensed participants can join as passengers.

No, the activity requires navigating steep, soft sand and climbing in and out of off-road vehicles, making it inaccessible for wheelchairs and unsuitable for those with significant mobility restrictions.

Morning tours are recommended during the Australian summer months to avoid the peak midday heat, while afternoon tours offer better lighting for photography in cooler seasons.

You should bring a secure strap for sunglasses, a reusable water bottle, and a protective pouch or case if you intend to bring a mobile phone or camera into the dunes.

The tour operates in most weather conditions, but the operator reserves the right to cancel or reschedule if high winds or severe storms make the dune environment unsafe.

Wearing closed-toe shoes with tight-fitting socks or bringing a spare pair of older shoes is recommended, as fine Stockton sand will easily infiltrate loose footwear.
