Eco quest backpacks

Are you looking for a perfect place for young ones to unleash their spirit of adventure? Our eco-quest backpack is an easy-to-use kit that allows young explorers to become a ranger for the day and get closer to nature.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Sandilands eco-quest backpacks are specially designed to help you explore nature, and they come equipped with all the necessary tools for your adventures.

Each backpack includes a magnifying glass, binoculars, insect observation equipment, and a natural weaving frame. You'll also receive a seasonal spotter sheet to help you identify the things you find during your exploration.

The eco quest backpacks come in two different designs, one for young explorers and the other perfect for adventurers aged seven and over.

You can use the backpack for the duration of your visit before returning it to SandiDunes café kiosk when you're done.
