I haven't done this before and everyone there was extremely helpful and made me feel welcome. We rented a dune buggy and it was a fun time. Jenny at the front was welcoming and encouraging me to have fun despite my trepidation! Zac that rescued us when my husband got us stuck was very reassuring to me that we could dig it out. I even helped get us out! What an experience and I would rent here again!

This is something I've always wanted to do but as a senior I was a little insecure about driving by myself. Kip agreed to drive me and I had a super time. I would have gone a mile and been done and maybe just peeked into the dunes. He took me in for 15-20 minutes in the dunes and all the way to the end of the beach and back. It was safe, fun, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go. He made it all possible :) Thank you Kip!! Next time I'll be confident to go on my own!!

Don't go, they stole my money, paid $250 for a ride and jammed me, got me down after 20 minutes and didn't take responsibility. The manager is rude instead of helping us start recording us.
