“Our guide Abhilash did an excellent job, the dune bashing was phenomenal, exciting, and absolutely the highlight of this tour. However, the tour does suffer from some minor problems not related to our guide -- it's a bit longer than we expected (7.5 hours from pickup to return) and the camp food could be better. Still highly recommended!”
