Winter has bitten into our warm summer days, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy fun outdoor activities. If you’re in the Western Cape, quad-biking and sandboarding are two things to add to your list of things to do.
Thrill-seekers Cape
Adventure junkies will love this tour over a nature trail and sand dunes.
Thrill-seekers Cape offers a 1-hour guided quad biking tour through the Atlantic Dunes.
15 minutes before embarking, your guide will review the rules and safety precautions and allow time for everyone in the group to get familiar with the four-wheelers.
Once everyone is comfortable, you will get to enjoy a 1-hour nature trail on the bikes.
