First, What is a Dune Buggy?

A dune buggy is a lightweight, open-top vehicle that is built for off-roading adventures. It typically has an engine in the back, an open cockpit, and large tires with deep treads for maximum traction on rough terrains. Dune buggies are perfect for exploring the scenic landscapes of Mont Tremblant while also satisfying your need for speed.

Guided Dune Buggy Tours in Mont Tremblant

The best part about going dune buggying in Mont Tremblant is that you don’t need any prior experience. Local companies have the knowledge and experience to provide an unforgettable experience to anyone.

Do Your Research

The first step to finding any service is to do your research. Ensure the dates you are visiting are available, and there is enough room for everyone in your party who wants to participate. Check the location to find a place that is near your accommodation. 

Read Reviews

One of the best ways to gauge the quality of a service is by reading reviews. Look for reviews on the company’s website, social media pages, and third-party review websites. They will give you an honest insight into the experiences of past customers.

After doing your research, narrow down your list to a few preferred companies and reach out to them. Make a call or send an email to inquire about their services, availability, and any other questions you may have. This will give you a chance to get a better understanding of the company and its customer service.

Check for Certifications and Licences

When it comes to adventure activities like dune buggy rides, safety is of the utmost importance. Make sure to check if the company has all the necessary certifications and licences required by the province of Quebec. In this case, companies should have their off-road vehicle (ORV) licence through the Aventure Γ‰cotourisme QuΓ©bec.

Compare Prices

Before making a final decision, it’s always a good idea to compare the prices of different companies. While some may offer a lower price, others may have a longer duration or better safety measures in place. Consider all factors and choose the option that offers the best value for your money.

Confirm Language

Since we are in Quebec, there are some companies that only operate in French. If you don’t speak French, be sure to find a dune buggy company that offers service in English. Most are bilingual, but it’s worth it to confirm.

For those who don’t speak English or French, you may have a hard time finding service in your native tongue.

This time of year offers the bright colours of the changing leaves with a refreshing breeze while you’re being whisked along trails.

Winter is also a special time as you are bound to go through deep snow and traverse slippery paths. Although this can be very cold, it’s just as fun as any other time of year.
