Blowcarting, land yachting and kite buggying are wind-powered activities that use wheeled crafts to travel across open ground such as beaches, hard-packed sand or dry lakebeds. Depending on the setup, participants may steer a sail-powered cart or use a traction kite to generate movement, combining speed, balance and control. These activities are sometimes collectively referred to as land sailing and are designed to harness natural wind conditions rather than engines or motors.
ActivitySure can cover blowcarting/land yachting/kite buggying when youre taking part abroad. As these activities rely heavily on wind strength, terrain and open space, its important to ensure your travel insurance is suitable for the environment and conditions in which youll be participating.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go blowcarting, land yachting or kite buggying?
These activities are most popular in destinations with wide, open spaces and reliable wind. The broad beaches and coastal flats of France and Belgium are well known for land sailing, while New Zealand is a long-standing favourite thanks to its open shorelines and established adventure operators. You may also find blowcarting and kite buggy sessions offered in other coastal regions where conditions allow, often as organised experiences with safety briefings and supervised launch areas.
Many travellers try it as part of a guided beach activity session while on holiday.
Here's why land yachting travel insurance matters:
Wind-powered wheeled sports can involve high speeds, sudden gusts and uneven terrain. If the wind changes unexpectedly, theres a risk of losing control, overturning or colliding with obstacles or other participants. Falls and impact injuries are possible, and strong winds can increase the likelihood of accidents. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong while youre taking part.
Helpful travel tips
- Keep a safe distance from other participants and stay within designated areas.
- Assess wind strength and direction before starting, and avoid taking part in gusty or unstable conditions.
- Steer smoothly and avoid sudden movements, particularly when accelerating or turning.
- Wear protective gear such as a helmet and pads if recommended, and check the craft or buggy setup before you begin.
- Always follow the instructions provided by the activity organiser and adhere to any safety recommendations made, including wearing appropriate safety equipment.
