Experience itself was great but the hard sell add-ons at check in really ruined the experience. They told us we'd be in a group of 25 if we didn't pay $300 or $400 for an upgraded buggy (on top of the $315 we already paid for a 90 minute ride for 2 of us!). We opted not to upgrade and there were only 6 people in our group. The included buggy was fine and fun for us with no real dune experience. We also had to buy insurance ($45) or put a $750 hold on our card in case of 'any' damage... A huge risk for an experience like this. Then the guide told us a $40 tip was 'expected' per vehicle. Lunch was included but wasn't anything special. Would rather have eaten at the inclusive resort. We didn't even look at the pictures for purchase.
