This Explorer quad bike tour is Desert Explorers' longer ride, spending two and a half hours in the dune belt outside Swakopmund for riders who want more than a short taster.
About This Explorer Quad Bike Tour
The extra time lets the guide range further into the large dunes of the Namib and stop to point out some of the small creatures that live in the sand. The quad bike, safety gear and bottled water are provided. It is a shared tour rather than a private one, and it suits riders who are comfortable on a quad after a short briefing.
