The way I did it, no offense to the others, is the best way to get this done the first time around as long as you don't screw up before the big area of sand at the end. Get to that big area of sand the same way any video tutorial will show you, but once you near the big lot of sand, start looking for big metal doors where the see-saw is and after that area. I believe there are 2 by the see-saw, one or two by the boat, and one or two in the big sand area, there r five total. also, if you want, you can use little metal doors too so make it more impossible to touch the sand. When you arrive at that shack in the big sand area at the end with the bedframe and stuff in it thats by that generator to turn that tower thing on, instead of going forward like the video tutorial shows you when they use the big plank of wood and such, use your metal doors and go right to the little circular island that has 2-3 stone platforms in between to get there. then once your on top of that island, take your metal doors and drop them down below to the side where your facing the patch of land that will unlock you the achievement. you can jump down to the stone platform nearest you and start placing the doors one by one and make a path leading you all the to the ending land and then use one of the metal doors as a ramp to get up there. then just jump to the higher land before the big antillion and you get the achieve as long as you didnt touch the sand in the beginning. make sure you keep an ear out for rumbles because that will mean u barely touched the sand and you needa reload to a checkpoint that was before you touched the sand. doing this method will make it nearly impossible at the end to touch the sand, thus netting you the achievement. as soon as i figure out how i can make a video of this method, I will.
