This tour is weather dependent, as sand tobogganing cannot operate in wet conditions. In the event of wet weather, the tour will operate as a sightseeing experience and visit the Tangalooma Wrecks. The tour drives to The Desert Carpark, where guests may join a guided walk on the sand into the Desert and/or carry a sandboard to participate in sand tobogganing. Guests may alternatively remain at the Desert Carpark to relax and enjoy the view.
Tour times may be altered at short notice. Waiver forms must be signed prior to participating. The tour is non-refundable; however, if the resort cancels the tour, guests are entitled to a 100% refund.
