The Experience
Before You Go
Bring ID and cash for entrance fees
An entrance fee is commonly required for the Sky‑Hi attraction and dune access—carry ID and a small amount of cash or card.
Protect against sand and sun
Wear closed-toe shoes, wrap sunglasses, and use high-SPF sunscreen; sand-driven sun is harsher than it feels.
Secure electronics from dust
Use zippered dry bags or plastic pouches for phones and cameras—fine sand can permanently damage gear.
Follow the guide’s safety briefing
ATV handling in dunes requires attention—obey speed limits and hand signals to avoid rollovers and collisions.
