What the day feels like
What the Hour Feels Like
A one‑hour rental is a compact, high‑energy loop: after check‑in and a short tutorial you’ll ride across the dunes, pushing machines through sand hollows and up wind‑carved ridgelines; it typically leaves enough time to glimpse the ocean from a distance but not to reach the beach.

Details to review before reserving
Most customers choose the one hour rental, which typically allows dune riding and a view of the ocean from a distance but usually not a trip all the way to the beach.
Bookings include goggles, helmets, unlimited fuel, required permits, a safety orientation and a machine operation tutorial; a 5% equipment/maintenance fee is added to bookings separate from taxes and fees.
Driver and machine rules vary by vehicle: some machines require the driver to be 25 with a valid driver’s license and a credit‑card deposit (e.g., Talon/Pioneer); ensure you can wear a properly fitted helmet and meet seatbelt/fit requirements before reserving.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
How long is the rental?

Will I get to the beach in one hour?
Typically no — a one hour rental usually gives enough time to ride the dunes and see the ocean from a distance but not to get to the beach.

All bookings include goggles, helmets, required permits, unlimited fuel, a safety orientation and a machine‑operation tutorial.
Are there age or driver requirements?
One person in the group must be at least 18 with a valid driver’s license; specific machines have additional requirements (for example, some side‑by‑sides require a 25‑year‑old driver).
Do I need to show ID or leave a deposit?
Certain vehicles (e.g., Honda Talon and larger multi‑seat machines) require the driver to show a physical driver’s license and a credit‑card deposit of $1500 per machine at rental time.
What if a child doesn’t fit the machine?
If you are unsure whether a child will fit a machine, do not reserve; come to the office and fit the child on a machine before booking — refunds are not given if a person doesn’t fit properly.
