About this experience
This experience is excellent for all from the age of 8 years old. Join my tour from the top of the Walker Bay nature reserve down the stunning sand dune field on a bucket list experience you didn't know existed :-)
Even if you are a Pro rider you will love this experience as it is a combination of riding, skiing on the sand and riding on terrain not possible on any other bike. The experience is completely unique and just so much fun you will want to come back again and again.
Experience riding out in the great outdoors away from people immersing yourselves in the most incredible natural landscape with stunning ocean views. In Whale season witness the many Whales in the bay during the ride. Morning and Sunset tours are available daily.
