Travelling abroad and exploring a different destination is exciting, but it’s challenging to find some off-the-beaten-track activities to enjoy on your trip. If you find yourself venturing towards Cape Town, otherwise known as The Mother City, you could spend your days visiting all the major tourist attractions of an area. But the better option would be to take the adventure route with a Quad Biking Guided Tour through the landmark nature reserve and Quad Biking hotspot at the Atlantis Dunes in Cape Town.
Why Would You Choose Quad Biking?
Quad Biking is a great way to see the outdoors and get some exercise. Here are some things to enjoy on a Quad Biking Guided Tour:
- The scenery: Quad Biking takes you off the beaten path and into nature. You’ll get to see the beautiful scenery that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to see. The Atlantis Dunes have some of the most breathtaking views of Table Mountain in all its splendour from across the dunes.
- The exercise: Quad Biking is a great workout. You’ll get your heart pumping and your muscles working as you ride. Although the rule for adventurers at Breathless Nomad is that the group moves as fast as its most inexperienced rider.
- The knowledge: On a Quad Biking Guided Tour, you’ll learn about the area you’re visiting from your guide. You’ll learn about the history, the culture, and the ecology of the area. This is a great way to make the most of your trip, especially in Cape Town – one of the few cities in the world that has nature reserves within city limits. You will also gain educational information about the sand dunes, the aquifer, the endangered and critically endangered species of flora found in the Cape Floristic Region as well as the various fauna found at the reserve.
What’s the quad bike experience like?
Our quad biking tours are led by experienced and professional guides who know the best routes and can offer tips on how to fully enjoy the experience.
Additionally, you’ll get to see some amazing scenery that you wouldn’t normally be able to access. The trail can be bumpy, so it’s important to hold on tight and follow the guide’s instructions. Along the way, you’ll likely spot some flora and fauna, so be sure to keep your camera handy!
At the end of the tour, you may feel tired but exhilarated from all the fresh air and exercise. It’s a great way to explore nature and have a lot of fun at the same time.
What to prepare before joining a quad biking tour
When going on a Quad Biking Guided Tour, it is essential to dress for the occasion. Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Closed-toe shoes are a must. You will also need a helmet to protect your head while riding, although, this will be provided to you upon arrival at the tour location.
You will also need to pack some essential items for your quad biking tour. This includes things like sunscreen, water, snacks, and possibly additional funds for permits and other requirements. The tour guide will usually have medical essentials on-site, but it is recommended that you disclose any health concerns you may have.
Safety instructions on the tour
Before you begin your quad biking guided tour, you will be given some safety instructions. These instructions will help to keep you safe while you are on the tour.
First, you will be taught how to operate the quad bike. This includes how to start and stop the bike, how to turn, and how to brake. You will also be shown how to use the gears. It is important that you listen carefully to these instructions and ask any questions if you are unsure about anything.
Next, you will be given a safety briefing. This will cover things like what to do if you have an accident and what to do if your bike breaks down. You will also be told what to do if you come across any animals during the tour.
After the safety briefing, you will be able to put on your helmet and get on your quad bike. Once you are on the bike, you will follow your guide around the trail. There will be plenty of stops along the way so that you can take in the sights and take photos.
At the end of the tour, you will return to the starting point and hand back your helmet and park your quad bike.
