Each buggy seats two, so the adventure is built for pairs: share driving duties, sit back with a buddy, and swap the wheel mid‑ride.

THE SUPPORT

Guided and gear‑ready

The operator supplies a friendly tour guide plus essential protective kit so you can focus on the trail—dust masks and protective glasses are provided, and the price even covers a second driver when needed.
