So glad this place is open right now! Had so much fun doing the sandrail tour with mike! Have lived in pnw forever and this was my first time at the dunes and had a great first experience. $35 for half hour tour which seems pretty reasonable compared to the other options nearby. read more

The sand rail tour was like the most intense roller coaster you've ever been on x's 2. It was awesome. Our driver, Josh, was great. Safety conscious, funny, great with the kids and an expert driver. Highly recommend if you're looking for an adrenaline rush! read more

This place is the best. If you want outstanding customer service, go here. The tours are super fun too!

Giving so many stars only because the rest of the group enjoyed it. We went there later in the day so the fog had already set and there was no visibility but still decided to get on the group rides . My party ended being on a separate buggy and I was put with other strangers due to availability. It would have been fine if only the three year old didn't scream out her lungs through out the whole ride. It was pretty miserable hearing a child screams more than the engine of this thing. They couldn't do more fun maneuvers like the other buggies with the group because this inadequate thinking family decided to kill their three year old. At the end of the trip kid was knocked out like it passed out and red almost to purple because couldn't take a breath from screaming. The worst way I spent $35 , I should have been paid for that torture. read more

Soooo much fun!! Dan was our driver and he made sure we all had a blast. He was knowledgable about the dunes and gave us fun little facts along the way. Prepare to be covered in sand by the end of the ride...and I mean COVERED! It was an adrenaline rush that I would do over and over again if possible. My only negative was that it ended too soon! we had people of all sizes ranging in age from 4 to 66. Everyone loved it!! Other than the sand rail tour, they also have a kiddie train ride, bumper boats, race cars for kids and mini golf. My 4 yr old had an afternoon of fun. read more

Great ride. My wife was a little nervous, but the driver was great. She felt very safe on the more daring ride. It was a blast. We'd recommend it highly. read more

Went on the 1 hour sandrail ride and had a blast our driver Ben made the ride a very fun experience He was very nice and definitely knew how to drive the sandrail to make the ride be as fun as possible only advice i would give to the company is to let people know on the phone when they book that you check in on hwy 101 and then drive down the road just past the thousand trails resort to catch your ride but thats just something small we still had a great time Highly recommend paying for the 1 hr ride over the 30 minute ride you will have so much fun that its worth the extra money to be on the dunes for a hour. read more

The giant buggy tour was awesome and only $16!! Our tour guide Rick was so knowledgeable and also took us on some steep hills to give some thrill to our ride. It was an incredible experience for our vacation. You will not regret it. read more

The tour was great. My son (8) and I had a great time. We went on the one hour tour with (Shaun) our driver. Fast and informative!

My grandfather and I had a great time the ride was very exciting and the driver was very kind I even got to sit in the front not for the faint of heart though. read more

OMG!! That was fun and amazing. Our driver was Michael and he was very good and very friendly. Answered any questions our group had. We hope to come back yearly now. read more

Now they have the dune buggy's follow each other, so you get to breath gas exhaust and get extra sand thrown in your face. And the cars in the back miss out on a lot of speed and fun, because the drivers have to worry more about following the car in front, and not able to drive fast, and make the ride fun. And they just jacked up the price an extra 15 bucks per rider. It kills be that I paid over 270 dollars on this ride. I will be warning the guests at my hotel not to go there, instead of referring them, like I used too. It was really fun the first time. The second two times were extremely disappointing. I DO NOT recommend....... this is after reading your reply. You did increase your prices. It used to be 50.00. Now it's 65.00. And I've been on this tour 3 times now and we were NEVER stuck behind another car. And the gas fumes and extra sand from the car in front of us was never a problem. It wasn't abnormally windy. I'm from here, so you can't try to say it was extra windy. It was sand flying from the car in front of us. Your tours suck now. And you can add condescending customer service to my review now. What a rip off. And like I said, I will warn our hotel guests to avoid this place. And they wouldn't have to worry about " passing each other," if they weren't following each other. read more

They have these stripped down school buses. No walls, but a big ol' roll bar. Essentially a mother of a dune buggy. 40 people can fit in one of these things. Now, they dont go all that fast, but without the illusion of having vehicle walls around you, it seems faster than it might. Most of the tour is driving around the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and seeing the sights. There were about three times when the driver turned the giant buggy over a large sand dune and nosed almost straight down. The exciting thing about this that differs from a roller coaster is that on a coaster, you are on tracks. Afixed. On a giant dune buggy, there is no guarantee that it wont flip and end up face down in the sand. If the tour was more of the dune riding, it would rate it higher. Unfortunately, it is aimed at tourists who may never have seen dunes, tree islands, the Pacific Northwest or a couple thousand people riding ATVs wearing stuff with the Fox logo. So they take it slow most of the time. I did see smaller buggy rides that seated about four racing about. Maybe next time I'll try one of those and amend my rating. read more

My family and I went on the school bus looking buggy with no walls. It was a lot of fun, very windy though. So bring your blankets, and hoodies. It was fun going out on the dunes and seeing people on their ATV's. They do have smaller dune buggy's that you could get that fit maybe 4 or so, but on the way back we heard there were some injured people out there on those. So I think if we go back we won't be riding in one of those. We did have some times where we went down some large hills which was like a roller coaster my Aunt has some pretty funny pictures of us getting scared! =0) read more

We just showed up ready to spend nearly $200 for three of us on a one hour sand rail tour of the Oregon Dunes. The lady at the counter took a quick glance at her schedule book and then said, Sorry nothing until 1:30. The current time was 9:30. So, we took our cash straight to their competitor, Sand Dunes Frontier, who gladly accepted our money and promptly loaded us into a sand rail. If I was the Owner of Sandland, i would be more engaged in my business so that there would be adequate resources to handle the demand when there is a very rare, almost 80 degree day on the Oregon Coast and demand will obviously be high. read more

Had a great time! Sit in the back row on the outside! Sand dune roller coaster here we come!! Mike was awesome and did a great job! I did the 30 min your, but will def be back to do the hour tour!! Thanks! Oh, and keep your mouth shut! Wink wink* read more

One of the best things we did on our vacation! The drivers are amazing and really talented. This is NOT your run-of-the-mill tour, with a speaker and about the history blah blah blah. This is sand in your face at various speeds, viewing the best God's hand has to offer on 2 miles of just sand. Worth every minute and penny! Don't go anywhere else - these guys are the best! read more

Our 1 hour sandrail dune buggy tour was the best thing we did on our Oregon coast vacation. Definitely do the fast sandrail dune buggy tour (not the big slow tour) and the 1 hour length is worth the extra money. Our driver was great and very knowledgeable about the dunes, but mostly he just drove very fast. We flew all over the dunes and made the ATVs look like they were standing still. They give you goggles for the sand, but I would also advise wearing a light jacket or sweatshirt as sand is flying everywhere. It was a ton of fun and I would highly recommend it. read more

Loved the giant buggy tour. Doug was patient and kind. Had a blast. Beautiful views of beach and sand dunes

What a great ride. Family did the hour ride on the big buggy. Was fun for my 2, 5, and 7 year old. Chris was our driver and did a wonderful job of guiding us through the trip. Thanks for the experience read more

Sandland Adventures - Reaching the ocean on the big buggy - Amusement Parks Near Me - Florence, Oregon

What a blast!! We only got the 30 minute tour and will definitely get the hour next time. Did some crazy hill climbs and descents. I'm covered from head to toe in sand but that's how you know it was a good tour!! I'm glad I wore a head band to cover my ears but wished a word something to cover ny mouth. I was laughing so much I got a mouth full if sand. read more

The ride was nice. But our dune buggy broke 10 min into tour. But no replacement buggy was sent. We were stranded for an hour and 15 min. After an hour into it, we got a rude reply from the driver when asked about how much longer it would take to resume. And then another bad experience at the ticket counter. Sometimes it is not just about the ride but the overall experience. Customer service needs improvement (though a couple other experienced ones were really nice). I would give it 4 or 5 stars if not for my encounter with couple of these folks. read more

The tour was awesome! Michael was our driver and we had a blast! We did the hour tour and it was so much fun!!!

Amazing!!! We went on the hour long tour with Alex and he was great. The hour flew by faster than the air on our 70 mph tour of the beach and oregon dunes. Drifting and zooming over the sand dunes, we never actually caught air but had a blast the entire time! At the end Alex gave me a shell from the beach which was a wonderful memento of the occasion, he said he worked his way up for a while before he got the job and it's evident he loves it as much as we did! read more

Showed up around 2:00 excited to go on a sand dune ride. We were told by the front desk attendant that the next tour didn't leave until 3 and that was only if ten people signed up. We sat in the parking lot for an hour only to be told that they wouldn't take us. The front desk attendant did not seem very remorseful about it. Disappointed after hearing such great things. read more

Mike was our driver and he was top notch! We had our 10 year old and 4 year old with us and he took special care to make sure they were not just comfortable, but having a great time. When he realized the kids were loving it, he didn't hold back! Always checking to make sure they were still fully enjoying every aspect of the experience! Since we were the last tour of the day, he ran slightly longer than the half hour we had paid for and no one was disappointed! Had such a blast the kids begged to come again tomorrow! Will be doing this again! read more

Took the family out for the dunes ride, and needless to say it was AWESOME!! We chose the fast ride, Rob was our driver!! E was great; sarcastic, great sense of humor and was informative about local eateries and more!!! The kids loved it and we'll definitely be back !! read more

We had an absolute blast on the sandrail tour! Our driver, Gage, was fantastic, fun and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back!

I cannot say enough about the 1-hour Sandrail Dune Buggy adventure that we booked through Sandland Adventures! We truly had a blast. Our driver Michael was a very experienced driver that made sure we were having the time of our life! This adventure was full of high speeds and steep drops and climbs. Totally out of my comfort zone, but so happy that we did it! I would do it again and again. If you are traveling to to Florence or to Eugene (like we did) make the trip to Florence and book tour adventure with Sandland Adventures. read more

Holy Freaking Cow! What a great time! Did the one hour fast and furious ride and had an absolutely great time. We had 5 adults and 6 childern so we had to take two buggies which made it even more fun because we could see what we were in for as the other buggy disapeared from site. Matt was our driver and definitely gave us a wonderful ride. About half the ride was slow and informative about the region and sand dunes as well as a cruise down the beach and the other 30 minutes was balls to the wall, outragously thrilling fun! read more

This was awesome! One of my favorite parts of vacation! We took the half hour sandrail tour. Our driver was Sean and he was great. I think the half hour tour was just long enough, and it's worth the price! In case you can't tell, this (the sandrail) really has the intensity of a roller coaster, with some breathtaking scenic views to boot. Sean said he was pushing 70 mph. Book very far in advance! read more

Took my young family on the 1 hour tour. All great people to deal with here. The tour was just the right length. Got a real good feel for the sand life out on the dunes. Think I need to buy a sand rail now! Woody was our driver, and although I wish he had done more daredevil stuff, my family had a great time. Best money you can spend out here. read more

Alex was a wonderful dune buggy driver! What an incredible adventure and experience. We took the 1 hour extreme dune buggy tour, that included the beach. Fast and furious was tons of fun, since we were covered from head to toe including face bandanas. A seriously one of a kind thrill ride with lots of motion: twists, turns and zooming up, down and around. Be prepared! Eat light, no drugs, no alcohol ...or else take the other tours. Great Adventure! read more

The ride was awesome, my 3 kids loved it. I was terrified but I'm not much of a thrill seeker. It was long enough, but also short enough. Our driver was Ben, he was fantastic. I probably won't brave it again but my family can't wait to! read more

Best day ever! Loved our guide - Shawn was great! Be prepared for fun and excitement. The Dunes are beautiful and Shawn knew history and information that made the trip more fun. We told Shawn we wanted to get air, and he promised to make us pucker. He delivered. Fun not to be missed! read more

Excellent ride on a sand rail with Gage as our driver! Fun time, if you're up to it, go for the full hour ride, but the 30 minute ride is also well worth it. read more

We had a great time with the tour. They have tours often so we didn't have to wait long. Their bumper boats,go-cart, train ride, and miniature goft are good too while waiting for tours read more

Tina in the front office and Mike our guide were awesome! Highly recommend!!! High adrenalin and laughs!

Get yourself on the Sandrail Buggy tour. High speed exploration of the dunes! Our driver, Dan, knew what he was doing, gave us some history of the dunes and made sure we had fun. AWESOME and unique experience. read more

What a beautiful and fun experience this was. Definitely the way to see dunes. We chose the scenery tour and see had some scary moments on the dunes, but we also felt very safe with our driver, Rick. The dunes are magnificent from every view and this is something you should not miss if you are in the area. FABULOUS! read more
