About this experience
The Amargosa dunes are so steep and so tall that you're not likely to get to the top of many of the larger ones, but we know you'll have fun trying. These are the tallest free-standing dunes in North America! One of the best parts is the huge 'bowls' formed between the large dunes. You zip towards the bottom only to race back up the other side, then turn around and repeat. This is a supervised free-roaming off-road adventure tour:
1. We'll show you around the area so you know where on the dunes is OK to play
2. We'll provide education about the protected Big Dunes Beetle to be sure you know where the no-go zones are.
3. Guides will show you how to drive the buggies and navigate over the sand razorbacks and how to avoid getting stuck in the deep soft sand
4. Then you're free to explore all on your own while our staff stays on-site to assist as needed and to make sure you're having a safe adventure.

Aptly named, at the Amargosa Big Dunes the Sand Dunes exceed 500 feet in height and are absolutely breathtaking in their immensity. The site sits right near the middle of nowhere! (Amargosa is actually near Area 51, those driving too far to the east will encounter armed security personnel) You'll have 4 hours to EXPLORE the BIG SAND DUNES with SunBuggy Support staff on hand to show you around this sandy playground ensuring that you have a great time and know where environmentally sensitive no-go areas are!!
We will have snacks on hand, feed you lunch, and of course, keep you hydrated with plenty of complimentary ice-cold bottled water.
