Birthday Quad Biking Cape Town

About this experience

We handle it by running celebrations as private departures wherever possible, splitting the group across guides by confidence rather than by who arrived together, and keeping the photo stops long enough for the group to regroup properly.

Tell us whose birthday it is and what the group actually wants — a hard ride, a relaxed one, or enough time on the ridge for decent photographs — and the departure is built around that.

How booking works

1. Send an availability request with your date, riders and transfer requirement.

3. You receive a written total, including the compulsory reserve permit.
4. Arrive, complete the indemnity, get fitted and trained, then ride.

All departures are subject to daily reserve permit availability.

Cancellation in short

Reschedules are free with sufficient notice, and rides cancelled by the reserve or by unsafe weather are rescheduled or refunded. Read the cancellation policy and refund policy in full before booking.

Where you ride

Atlantis Dunes sit inside the Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve, 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. See directions to Atlantis Dunes.
