Do you supply helmets?
Sandboarding / Tobogganing: Helmets are for hire on site for $10 each, they are strongly recommended! Alternatively you are more than welcome to bring your own.
Buggy/Bike Tours: Yes – it is the law in Australia to wear helmets when riding bikes or in the buggy, and all of out tours include an Australian Standards approved helmet that must be worn at all times. Some people prefer to bring their own helmets on our tours. This is ok, provided you present them to us before the tour so that we can ensure that they are an Australian Standards approved design and in good order.
Can I bring my own sandboard?
You are welcome to bring your own sandboards/toboggans for a levy of $20 per board. This helps cover our insurance, staffing and other overheads so we can continue to manage and protect this unique site. However, our hire boards have been specially crafted to slide on Little Sahara’s dunes, and often guests own boards don’t slide as fast. Little Sahara Adventure Centre will not be held liable for damage caused to customers own equipment if damaged or lost.
When do tours run?
Our tours run daily all year round during our opening hours – spring, summer, autumn and winter.
