About this experience
Leave the beach behind and ride the dunes of Essaouira.
Head to the Tissa Dunes for a two-hour sandboarding experience designed for both first-time riders
and those looking for a fun adventure in the Moroccan dunes.
Your experience begins at the meeting point, where our team will welcome you, provide your
sandboarding equipment, and guide you toward the dunes. The walk to the activity area takes
approximately five minutes.
Before you start, your instructor will give you a safety briefing and introduce you to the basic
sandboarding techniques. You’ll then head onto the dunes and practice with the guidance of your
instructor, making this experience accessible even if you have never tried sandboarding before.
After the guided activity, you’ll have some free time to enjoy the dunes and take in the surrounding
landscape.
And the experience doesn’t end when you step off the board. We’ll capture moments from your
adventure with complimentary photos and videos, so you can keep memories of your time on the
