    The team here absolutely nails the fundamentals that matter most for first-timers tackling the dunes. Staff members like Taylor, Larry, Mark, and Jim get consistent praise for being genuinely friendly and taking extra time on safety briefings and orientation tours. People really appreciate how thorough they are about explaining the rules and terrain before sending you off, which helps nervous newcomers feel confident enough to actually enjoy themselves. The buggies themselves run reliably, though one reviewer noted their KRX struggled with some of the steeper hills despite the premium rental price. Still, that's a minor quibble in an otherwise glowing collection of feedback. Multiple families mention returning year after year, and several call out how responsive the staff was when small issues came up. The guided orientation tour seems particularly valuable for getting your bearings and understanding which areas you can actually explore. It's clearly a well-run operation where the crew genuinely cares about setting people up for a great dune experience.

    We took our kids on this dune buggy tour for my oldest son’s 10th birthday. They even made our adventure, extra special with a surprise! It was a 10/10 and the customer service was AMAZING! Our family enjoyed the guides, the service, the ride itself was so fun, and very safe. The views of the Lake MI sunset were beautiful. We definitely recommend, and would do this again.
