Be blown away in Nevada’s mysterious Area 51 territory! Known as “Dreamland”, the beautifully rugged landscapes 90 minutes north of Las Vegas are truly fascinating. This is a very rare opportunity to go land sailing in absolute wilderness - a beautifully secluded playa that once served as the X-15’s emergency landing site. Another great feature is its higher altitude - 4,535 feet - which means the weather is up to 15 degrees cooler here than in Las Vegas.

Your Land Sailing Area 51 Adventure begins when you are picked up from your Las Vegas hotel to journey through rugged scenic landscapes and narrow canyons - leading up to a beautifully secluded playa over five square miles in size. There’s no telling what you might see out there!

Win cool prizes! Race your friends at your own land sailing regatta. Three.. two.. one.. GO! Test your skills using the power of the wind to achieve top speeds.

Your Land Sailing Area 51 Adventure includes pick-up from your Las Vegas Strip hotel and back, ice cold beverages, use of the most modern land sailing equipment, support, a mini-regatta with prizes and information/folklore of the area.
