It is time to ride the sand!
If surfing the ocean or carving down snowy slopes isn’t thrilling enough, why not ride the golden waves of sand instead? Sandboarding, the desert’s answer to adventure sports, is an adrenaline-packed activity that combines speed, skill, and surreal landscapes. Here are five key things you should know before hopping onto a sandboard:

Gear Up for the Adventure
Unlike snowboarding, you don’t need thick jackets or freezing temperatures to enjoy sandboarding. All you need is a specially crafted board and a sense of adventure. Pro tip: Wear snug shoes, and don’t forget sunscreen — deserts can be scorching!
Perfect Slopes for Every Skill Level
Dunes come in all shapes and sizes, from beginner-friendly slopes to jaw-dropping drops for the daredevils. Beginners should start small to build confidence, while thrill-seekers can tackle dunes that rival any mountain slope.
It’s a Full-Body Workout
Think it’s all about the ride? Think again! Walking back up those dunes after each slide is no joke. Sandboarding not only challenges your balance but also works your legs, core, and endurance. It’s a workout disguised as fun!
Sandboarding by the Sea
Sandboarding isn’t limited to deserts. Some of the most stunning dunes are found near the coast. Travellers staying at Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort can take advantage of the surrounding dunes for an unforgettable sandboarding experience. It’s the perfect mix of adventure and beach bliss!
No Snow, No Problem!
Sandboarding doesn’t rely on seasons, so it’s a year-round sport, making it one of the top things to do in Mozambique, Namibia, and other regions! Whether you are travelling with your family or alone, Golden dunes are waiting for you to ride!
