Quad biking Atlantis Dunes Cape Town: 1-hour ATV adventure

Ride the Atlantis Dunes on your own quad bike with a guide steering you through the white sands

Quad biking in the Atlantis Dunes near Cape Town puts you on your own ATV for one hour of riding across white sand with an expert guide leading the way. A mandatory 15 to 20-minute safety briefing and bike orientation comes first, then you ride for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. The quad bike, helmet and hair nets are included; public transport reaches the location.

The Experience

One hour total, split between preparation and riding. The first 15 to 20 minutes is a safety briefing and bike orientation—the operator walks you through the controls and what to expect so you can focus on the dunes instead of figuring out the machine. After that, you're on the quad bike for 40 to 45 minutes of actual riding across the Atlantis Dunes, following your guide through the white sands.

The quad bikes are top-spec machines designed for this terrain, and the helmet and hair nets come with your booking. Small-group rides mean you're not threading through a crowd of riders, and the guide stays with you the whole time so you can push the pace or ease back depending on what feels right. The white sands of Atlantis Dunes are the whole landscape—no technical obstacles, just open space and the chance to move.

Public transportation options are available near the meeting point, so you don't need a rental car to get there. The operator asks for a R300 cash or R310 card payment per person at the receptionist for an entry permit when you arrive.
