4WD Bookings
The Portland Dune Buggy Club hold a licence with Parks Victoria for vehicle access on the sand dunes. The only way to legally drive in the Designated Dune Buggy Area is by making a booking with our club. Driving in the dune buggy area without a booking voids your insurance and can result in fines. 4WD clubs and private groups can enjoy driving on our spectacular sand dunes with a 4 Day 4WD booking which allows access to the Designated Dune Buggy Area and the PDBC camping area for four consecutive days. Each driver must fill out the 4 DAY 4WD booking form and pay the $80 fee. The same fee applies whether you want to go for half a day or the full 4 days. 4WD bookings are NOT available: • any time in December or January • Australia Day weekend • 21st February - 2nd March (King of the Dunes event) • March Labour Day weekend • Easter long weekend • ANZAC long weekend • Grand Final weekend • Melbourne Cup weekend THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE NO MATTER HOW POLITELY YOU ASK All other times are open for booking!
