AI summary of 33 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the friendly and professional staff for their welcoming attitude, patience with first-timers and children, and willingness to go the extra mile, with many appreciating the efficient shuttle service and the ability to do unlimited runs at their own pace. The highlight most frequently mentioned is the quality of the sandboarding experience itself, with the scenic dunes and the variety of techniques available—both sitting and standing—making for memorable family outings. The most common caveat is that the walk up the dunes is physically demanding and tiring, particularly for very young children and older visitors, and several travellers recommend bringing substantial amounts of water and snacks as there are none available on the dunes, especially on hot days.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
We loved it, the guys were awesome and even gave us good tips for where to grab a bite.
Sandboarding on the big dunes was our main reason for visiting Newcastle and the Hunter, and it was the perfect fun outing. My wife and daughter loved it and we came away with so many memories.
The staff were lovely and chatty, and I loved that you could hop on the bus back whenever you wanted. Lots of fun.
A great experience, and fun even when you fall. Shaq shared the secrets to going faster, which made it even more enjoyable.
I lost my glasses in the huge dunes and thought they were gone for good, but Shaq found them in under ten minutes. My friends and I were amazed, and he saved my day.
