      Absolutely fun, even for those that have driving many times on sand
      Awesome experience! Being able to drive up and down the dunes was awesome. I wouldn't do it alone but with the guidance of Bruce and this advice, I felt confident and was able to get through the dunes without getting bogged. I even learnt few tricks for the next time I go dune driving. You don't need a modified 4WD, just a stock one will do. Bruce the guide was great. Also had the opportunity to do sand tobogganing, which was fun going down, but hard work walking back up the dunes. It was so fun and the family all enjoyed it.

      Totally fun and awesome!!!!
      What an amazing day we had! Bruce was extremely knowledgable and his humour made the day that much more fun. We tagged along in our Triton and enjoyed the dunes driving and sand boarding for the first time. We stayed on the beach afterwards for a picnic dinner. Definitely recomend these guys!

      Fantastic tour
      Fantastic tour, great advice, amazing scenery, I would recommend this tour to anyone, we didn't have the confidence to go on our own, and going on the tour we got access to the sand dune area.

      5th time
      Our 5th time doing this tour and it has never disappointed. Bruce’s knowledge and respect for the area is amazing. Each time we do this tour we learn something new about how to handle our car in various situations. We wouldn’t want to learn with anyone else. The sand boarding is an added and fun bonus. Thanks Bruce for the laughs, the knowledge and the good times!

      A great experience
      We were not able to drive as the vehicle was too low for the dunes, so the 4 of us were passengers in Bruce's car. It was heaps of fun and Bruce was very knowledgeable . The sunset views at the end were beautiful. It would have been a great experience be able to drive your own vehicle

      4wd drive in the sand dunes.
      This was our first time driving in sand. Bruce was great. He went right through the process of when to change into the different 4wd modes, what pressure in tyres to use and how to drive safely in the dunes. We learnt heaps and also had buckets of fun. Bruce was really knowledgeable of the loca environment is also very active within in local community with wildlife rescue so his commentary was really informative. It was a step out of our comfort zone but felt in really safe hands doing it.

      Such a great afternoon. Bruce's knowledge of the area made the tour very interesting and informative. If you have never driven off road and if you have a beach & 4W driving P plater I highly recommend this tour. Bruce's experience and ability to teach is top notch! P platers in their car in front and adults enjoyed the serenity in our own car. Thank you Bruce just a brilliant afternoon!

      Great family day out!
      A great day for our family! Our kids ranged from 5-12 and everyone loved the experience! We started out with an easy drive through Tomaree National Park and then headed for Stockton Beach where Bruce and Nicole guided us through the dunes and we stopped for some sand boarding. Their communication is great and we felt safe and supported the whole time! We can’t wait to try more of their tours! Highly recommend!! 😊

      Fun, fun and more fun
      My husband, 5 year old, 2 year old and myslef had the best afternoon 11th september on the tag-along tour. Bruce was so welcoming and very helpful with guiding us through driving on the dunes and getting us more confident driving on sand. Would recommend for anyone to do this whilst in the area and to see such amazing scenery. My kids loved the 4wd and sandboarding. Made some very special family memories. Thanks Bruce for such an amazing day.

      Best 4WD tour experience
      We did the tag along tour with Bruce and Nicole and absolutely loved it! The pace of the tour is relaxing and for first timers like us, it was an ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon. It’s a well priced tour with amazing value for money. The tour itself has something for everyone and amazing photo opportunities. We enjoyed learning about the history of the land and Bruce’s terrible dad jokes. Both Bruce & Nicole were super friendly and only to eager to help us feel comfortable driving our 4WD in that environment for the first time. We also really enjoyed the sandboarding at the end. Highly recommend to all- 5 stars all the way! Thanks for a wonderful day!

      The Magnificent Sand
      We had a very informative 3 1/2 hour tour with Bruce. Bruce was very knowledgeable in regard to the local area including Flora and Fauna. His 4 x4 knowledge was very helpful. We experienced the magnificent beach and Sand Dunes of Stockton Beach and got to test our Ranger on some tough and steep Sand Dunes. A very good day was had and it was very enjoyable

      An experience not to miss!
      I’ve visited Port Stephens 2 years in a row and I enjoyed Bruce’s 4wd tag a long tour that much that I rebooked it again this year. Can not recommend this tour highly enough, Bruce gives fabulous driver training combined with showing you the sites, informing you with local knowledge and plenty of laughs along the way. I can’t imagine a trip to Port Stephens without this experience included. Thanks Bruce!

    My husband and I were travelling around the East Coast and the Sand Dunes had been recommended to us by some friends who had recently moved out to Australia. They did not disappoint at all! The scenery was stunning and the tour was an amazing way to experience the Dunes. Bruce was really informative with all of his knowledge about the Worimi conservation area and an overall great tour guide - he took us to different parts of the dunes which meant that the tour was always interesting and exciting. Driving along the beach at the end of the tour snd seeing dolphins was just the cherry on top of a fantastic trip - thank you Bruce!

    Really fun afternoon on a bush track and then playing around on Stockton Beach. What an amazing place, and so cool to be on and in amongst it. Bruce is knowledgeable and friendly, and explains 4WD very clearly and calmly. Super fun day out, and totally relaxing as a 4WD tag-along vehicle knowing there’s a true expert on hand to guide us. Highly recommend this tour !!!

    I was so excited to take my Ranger out on the beach and dunes, however very apprehensive having not done any 4WD before. I almost chickened out at the top of the 1st dune, belt off and all ready to swap drivers! But Bruce was encouraging and talked me through it calmly, I cannot even explain the adrenaline rush once I'd completed my first run down. Hands down the highlight of our holiday! Fantastic experience and will definitely be back again!! Thank Bruce :)

    My girlfriend and me had no idea how to drive on sand or dunes. We took a tour with Bruce and explored the nature and the dunes. After we went on Fraser we had no problems to drive. It was so much fun and a nice tour thanks Bruce :)
