November 12, 2025Ammon A10/10. Spencer our guide was great. We participated in the hour tour and my kid wanted to go longer he had so much fun.
So much fun! Booked this on a whim and so glad I did. My 13 year old loved doing this and we off road at home all the time on our own machines.

October 10, 2025512jennlBe prepared to be disrespected
BEWARE! We were excited to experience the dune buggie tour and were extremely disappointed by the person who greeted us! We decided to experience this tour as a half way stop to Portland OR. We arrived early and as soon as we walked into the check in building the woman there to greet us was disrespectful and so rude. We are four successful adults looking for a fun experience while on vacation and she was like hitting a brick wall, passive aggressive, nasty and totally inappropriate treating us like children. When the four of us left the building to follow her instructions- we were all like holy crap- did we just experience this behavior the same way. We decided that there was no need for this treatment and I walked back in to professionally let her know to let “Spencer - our tour guide” know we will not be taking the tour. She ripped into us about no refunds will be given and we should have read our emails, and I never even brought any of this up since I clearly read the email of no refunds and we all knew this. Totally not needed on our vacation when not deserved. This company had a lot of good reviews but this woman needs to be removed or fired.

October 2, 2025moodbluMixed experience for me, butmy husband loved it
We went to Sandland Adventures, south of Florence Oregon on a recent West Coast tour. Besides the rides in various types of vehicles, in Sand Dunes State Park, there are also a mini-golf, and aquatic bumper cars at this venue. We rode in a large sand dune buggy with 26 in the group, in our vehicle. The sand dunes are interspersed with areas of grass & forest, and borders on the ocean, so the scenery was incredible! An advisory is given up front about back issues, but chose to go on this adventure, even with moderate issues with my back & neck. The ride itself is bouncy and twisty, so wasn’t the best thing for my back, which was sore & fatigued for a few days after. On the other hand, the abrupt downhills, while not my preference, did not make me have any motion sickness issues. Picture taking is somewhat capricious with the motion and the size of the sand vehicle. Our tour being mostly retired senior citizens, the driver did not push the limits of speed or “thrills”. My personal reflection: If you have any concerns about back and neck, you might want to consider doing the mini-golf instead. That being said, the vehicles are sturdy and well-built, with safety belts and strong roll bars, although the seats are not cushioned. The ride itself is OK for mobility impaired persons, so long as you can get into it OK. The ride creates quite a breeze, even on a relatively calm day, so be aware that it will feel cooler than the ambient temperature. Also, make sure your hat or scarf will stay on in the wind & the bumpy ride, and take whatever sun precautions you personally need. They stated that open-toed shoes were, for whatever reason, not allowed. All in all this was an interesting adventure for me, although my husband loved it.

Wild!
I did the one hour sandrail tour - which is the most adventurous option. It was like an hour long roller coaster. So much fun. Make sure you don't eat a big lunch beforehand.

Extremely inconsiderate and unprofessional customer service.
For many years I have taken countless family and friends to Sandland Adventures when they visit Oregon. Two weeks ago, I/we had the very first bad experience. We booked the giant dune buggy followed by the sand rail. We were booked on the Giant dune buggy with it filled with camp kids. It was so loud and noisy we barely heard our driver during the hour long guided tour narrative about the dunes. After the ride I spoke with the (so called) manager about our dissatisfaction and requested a future booking compensation. She firmly said NO for any refunds. I calmly explained my disappointment with the company for even a future compensation, explained my years of loyalty and business, and she said if I was upset, perhaps I should leave!!!??? I worked in public service for 20 years and treating the public with respect and that the customer was always right, was always the norm. But, to be asked to leave???? After many years, this unfortunate customer service now has me never wanting to return.
