Discover the Mysteries of the Coral Pink Sand Dunes

The highlight of this tour is the sandboarding experience at the iconic Star Dune. Whether you choose to stand or sit on the sleds, the rush of sliding down the sands is unparalleled. A reviewer from 2024-12-12 shared, “If you have time while visiting Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP, you have to do this! When I was booking my road trip, I had looked into a UTV ride, but gave up on the thought because I didn’t think I could fit it in my schedule. I stopped to visit Coral Pink Sand Dunes state park and stumbled on the outfitter right there! I signed up on the spot and was able to ride with the guide since I was a solo. There were 2 other parties in our group and they were driving behind us. I wish I could remember the guide’s name, but he was super nice and informative. We rode all over the park and then stopped at the top of a canyon. We headed on foot down the slot canyon wall and he showed us how to “scramble” which was different but pretty fun. I was a little nervous, but the guide was super helpful and patient with everyone. We hiked back out of the canyon and you could then go sand boarding. Unfortunately, I had limited time and had to forgo that part of the experience. This was so much fun and I am so glad I did it!”

Well worth doing it through the company for the guided hike and also because they drive you back up the hill after you surf down it. Others had to try and walk back up. It’s much bigger than it looks!”
