Feel the rush as you glide down Namibia’s iconic dunes on a sandboarding adventure! Whether you’re looking to lie down and take a thrilling slide or stand up to carve your way down the sandy slopes, this activity guarantees an unforgettable experience. Sandboarding is a fun, adrenaline-packed way to explore the desert and enjoy the stunning scenery of Namibia’s coast.
Your sandboarding adventure begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to the dunes. After a short safety briefing, you’ll start on "Little Nellie," a gentle slope ideal for beginners. Once you’ve mastered the basics, progress to the thrilling "Birgit Run" and, for the ultimate adrenaline rush, tackle "Lizzie" and "Dizzy."
Lie-down boarding lets you pick up speed as you glide down the dunes, reaching up to 80km/h on the fastest runs. Stand-up boarding is perfect for those who want to channel their inner surfer or snowboarder, carving their way down the slopes. The climbs back up the dunes are well worth the exhilarating rides back down.
Expect a morning filled with laughter, adventure, and plenty of sandy fun – don’t be surprised if the desert becomes your new favourite playground!

No experience is necessary! Our guides will provide instructions and tips for both lie-down and stand-up sandboarding, ensuring you’re comfortable before you start.
Wear comfortable, breathable clothing that you don’t mind getting sandy. Long sleeves and trousers are recommended to protect your skin from the sand. Closed-toe shoes, like trainers, are essential for climbing the dunes. Bring sunglasses to shield your eyes from the sun and sand, and don’t forget sunscreen.
Sandboarding involves climbing back up the dunes after each run, which can be tiring. A moderate level of fitness is recommended, but the effort is well worth the thrill of gliding down the slopes.
Sandboarding is suitable for ages 8 and up. Children should be comfortable with physical activity and follow safety instructions. Stand-up boarding is more suitable for older children and adults, while younger participants often enjoy lie-down boarding.
You’re welcome to bring your own sandboard, but we provide high-quality equipment suited to the local dunes. If you bring your own, please inform us when booking so we can accommodate your needs.
Speeds depend on the type of boarding and the dune. Lie-down boarding can reach up to 80km/h on steeper runs like "Dizzy," while stand-up boarding generally offers a slower, more controlled experience.
If you’re new to boarding or prefer a simpler option, lie-down boarding is an excellent choice. It’s less technical and still provides a thrilling experience. Stand-up boarding is ideal for those with previous experience in snowboarding or surfing, but our guides will teach you the basics.
