FAQ
Everything you need before booking your Atlantis Dunes quad biking ride.
We operate on the Atlantis Dunes inside the Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve, roughly a one-hour drive north of Cape Town CBD along the R27 West Coast Road.
Your total is calculated as: Tour Fee + Nature Reserve Entry + Permit + Conservation Fee = Total per rider. Reserve and permit fees are set by the City of Cape Town. Contact us with your date and group size for a live quote — pricing is confirmed before you book.
No prior quad biking experience is needed. Every tour begins with a mandatory hands-on safety briefing and training session on flat sand before we head into the Atlantis Dunes. Beginners are welcome.
We run a 1-hour Standard Experience and a 2-hour Extended Experience. Custom timing is available for private groups on request.
Your tour fee covers the quad bike rental, helmet and safety gear, a professional dune guide, and the pre-ride safety briefing. Nature reserve entry, permit and conservation fees are added on top and set by the City of Cape Town.
Maximum 6 riders per group with at least one guide. This keeps the quad biking experience premium, safe and truly private.
