Every price on this page is shown the way you actually pay it: the tour fee, the compulsory Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve permit of R300 per rider, and the estimated total. Nothing is hidden until checkout, because there is no checkout — every booking is confirmed in writing first.

The permit fee is charged per rider and is subject to change by the reserve.
Total = tour fee × riders + reserve permit × everyone entering the reserve + transfers if you need them. Spectators pay the permit too, because access to the Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve is permit-controlled for every visitor rather than every rider.
The final transfer price depends on the pickup location and number of guests, and is confirmed in writing before payment.
Send an availability request and you receive a written quotation with the permit itemised. Your slot is only held once the booking is confirmed in writing, and all departures remain subject to daily reserve permit availability.
Read the cancellation policy and refund policy before you pay.
Per minute of riding, the two-hour tour is the strongest value, because the permit is charged once regardless of tour length. If you are new to quads or short on time, the one-hour tour is the better first ride — the guide-to-rider ratio is identical.
