Last updated: 20 September 2026

Cancelled by usFree reschedule or a refund, less any bank fee

2. How to cancel

Cancel in writing by WhatsApp or email. The time we receive your message determines which window applies. A verbal cancellation to a driver is not a cancellation.

3. Refund timing

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method within seven to ten working days. Your bank may take longer to display the credit.

4. Weather and safety cancellations

We suspend desert activities in sandstorms, heavy rain and any condition that reduces visibility below a safe level. This decision is made by our desert team and is final. Heat, light wind and cloud are not cancellation conditions.

5. Partial use

No refund is due for activities you choose not to take part in, or for leaving a tour early. If we are unable to deliver a substantial advertised element of the package — for example the dune drive itself — you may claim a proportionate refund.

6. Medical refusals

If you disclose at booking a condition that makes the dune drive unsuitable, we will offer an alternative arrangement or a refund. If a condition is disclosed only at pickup and we must refuse the drive on safety grounds, the same-day terms apply.

7. Self-drive damage

Damage to a quad bike or dune buggy caused by reckless riding, ignoring guide instructions or riding under the influence is chargeable at repair cost and is not refundable.
