Two-Hour Quad Biking Cape Town at Atlantis Dunes

About this experience

The extra time also means a slower start: more training, more confidence, and space to build up to steeper terrain rather than being thrown at it. Most riders find their rhythm somewhere in the second half of the first hour, which is exactly when a one-hour tour ends.

A short rest break splits the ride, with time for photographs at one of the higher vantage points before the return leg.

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.
