The experience

The tour starts at the permit office, where your guide meets you and you board an open-top Jeep Wrangler for a guided run through the dunes. The route takes you across steep sandy slopes with unobstructed views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean from inside the Atlantis Sand Dunes. Your expert driver navigates the terrain and shares what the landscape reveals about the ecosystem: geology, flora and fauna that make this place distinct from the rest of the Cape.

Photo stops are built into the route so you can capture the views and the moment. If sandboarding or dune sliding appeals to you, the guide can set that up. It's not automatic, so you decide whether to try it once you're there. The whole experience runs about an hour from start to finish.

Top questions

What's the Atlantis Dunes like as a landscape?

The Atlantis Dunes are a series of steep sandy slopes with unobstructed sightlines to Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. The ecosystem supports distinct flora and fauna that your guide will point out and explain as you drive.

Do I drive the Jeep myself or does the guide drive?

Your expert guide drives the open-top Wrangler while you ride as a passenger. The guide handles navigation of the steep inclines and sandy terrain.

Is sandboarding included, or do I have to pay extra?

Sandboarding and dune sliding are optional. Your guide can arrange them on the day if you want to try, but they're not part of the standard tour package.

The tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. It suits all other fitness levels.
