Zoom down a 22-meter sand dune on an adapted bodyboard.
Feel the ocean breeze in your hair as you zoom down a 100-ft sand dune on an adapted bodyboard—it’s the most fun you’ll have on a board outside the water. This adrenaline-filled adventure takes place right on Rancho Santana’s property at Playa Duna. Bonus: You’ll get a workout each time you hike up the dune for another ride. But no worries if you want to avoid a strenuous trip up. You can also begin your ride from lower on the dune. Regardless of your starting point, you’ll get breathtaking views and memories to last a lifetime.
It is recommended to have a light breakfast before the experience. This activity is suitable for children over 8 years old.
Duration: About 2 hours
Meet: At The Inn
Includes: Boards, transportation, and guide.
Bring: Sneakers, sunhat, sunblock, workout or beach clothes, sunglasses, a water bottle, and your camera
Our guide, Erick, took us sandboarding down the dunes (a must-do!). If you think it’s not safe, you would be wrong, and you’ll miss a once-in-a-lifetime experience! – Ray
Each session lasts about 3 hours, including transportation, hike time, safety briefing, and plenty of time to slide down the dunes.
Yes—round-trip transportation from the front desk at The Inn to the sand dunes is included in your reservation. Reservations are requiered.
We provide the sandboard and bottled water. Guests must wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes—sneakers are recommended.
Wear lightweight, athletic clothing you don’t mind getting sandy. Bring water, sunscreen, and a small daypack.
A moderate level of fitness is recommended. The hike to the top of the dune is steep and exposed to the sun, but the ride down is pure fun.
Participants must be 8 years or older and in good physical condition. The maximum weight limit is 250 lbs. Those with heart conditions or recent surgeries should consult with a physician before booking.
Sandboarding may be postponed due to high winds or storms. We’ll notify you in advance and offer to reschedule your session.
