Huacachina’s dunes tower like golden waves around the oasis, and this sunset trip turns them into your personal playground. The buggy ride is pure adrenaline – roaring up sheer sand mountains and dropping down the other side with your stomach in your throat, stopping along the way for those epic photos nobody believes are real. At one of the highest dunes you grab a board and slide down (lying on your chest or sitting – the guide shows first-timers exactly how), getting multiple runs to nail the feeling of flying over the sand. Then everyone parks at the top for the main show: the sun sinking slowly, turning the desert gold, orange and purple while the oasis glows below.
