Directions to Atlantis Dunes from Cape Town
Atlantis Dunes sits inside the Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve on the West Coast, approximately 45–60 minutes from central Cape Town, depending on traffic. The exact meeting point inside the reserve is confirmed with your booking, because the staging area moves with wind and dune conditions.
Driving route
From central Cape Town, take the N1 or M5 to the N7, then the R307 towards Atlantis and Silwerstroomstrand. Fill up and buy water before you leave the N7 — there are no shops inside the reserve and mobile signal is patchy in the dune field.
Arrival and timing
Arrive at least fifteen minutes before your slot. Permits and indemnity forms take a few minutes per rider, and departures run to a schedule so that no group overlaps another on the dunes. We operate daily except wednesdays, 08:00–17:00.
Getting there without a car
Book the quad biking package with Cape Town transfers and we collect you, run the tour and return you to your pickup point.
