Sand Driving Course Reviews

Would Highly Recommend

Thank you so much to the trainer for his knowledge and patience. It was my first time driving on the beach and explained everything and took his time with each person.

Maddy R / 2024

An absolutely amazing day

Learnt so much about driving on sand, soft sand strategies and if we get bogged – the easiest and simplest, safest way to get out. Great day of fun and very helpful tips and information.  We recommend this course highly.

Although I have been 4 wheel driving for over 45 years, including commercial vehicles, I bought a new 4 wheel drive camper Isuzu 75/155 and wanted to learn more about 4 wheel driving.  The XDrive trainer was a great teacher, especially his attention to detail and safety.  I am extremely glad I did this course (and others) with XDrive and would recommend him as a trainer for new or experienced drivers.

GOOGLE : MY BUSINESS REVIEW

We completed the Sand Driving course and it was excellent. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable and imparted excellent instruction as well as great hints and tips. Left the course confident in what to do out on the sand and the vehicle capability which i would not have gained just teaching myself.

I fully endorse Steve of XDrive for all your 4WD Training!!!

As always Steve provided a very information and comprehensive course that gave us the confidence to go off road in any situation.

I would suggest that you do the basic 4WD course so owners know what their vehicles are capable of.

Everything was thoroughly explained before being asked to go ahead on the course track, including how and why things may go wrong, as well as alternatives to do the same thing in a different scenario. The course was absolutely excellent. We couldn’t ask for more. We actually gained even more than expected.  Thank you so much for taking us out at such short notice. We’ll take it slow and hopefully do you proud!
