Two guided quad tours on forest tracks, with total durations of 90 and 60 minutes.
The 90 minute ride and the 60 minute ride
The 90 minute tour has the longer total duration and 123 reviews with an average of 4.6. It suits couples and friends who have more time for a guided forest outing. The 60 minute tour has three reviews with an average of 3.7.
The 60 minute tour lists its meeting point just before the entrance gates of Tsitsikamma National Park, to the left of the entrance. It is the shorter slot for a day that already includes a park visit, a zipline or the coast. Both rides begin with a safety briefing and a test ride, where the guide explains hand signals and how to shift your weight. Verify the meeting point for your chosen tour when booking, as the published meeting instructions conflict.
Age, helmet and what to wear
You can drive yourself from age 16. Younger riders go as passengers with an adult driver. No previous experience is needed. A helmet is compulsory for the entire ride, under a strict no helmet, no ride rule, and alcohol is not allowed before the tour. Adults sign a liability waiver on behalf of minors before the ride.
Wear comfortable clothes, preferably long trousers, and closed shoes. Sandals and flip-flops are not allowed. The weather changes quickly on this coast, so bring a light rain jacket, plus a warm jacket for mornings and evenings. Sun protection and a camera are worth packing. Our entry fee guide covers the separate park ticket for the coast.
Which ride suits you
Choose between the two tours according to the time you have available. Riders aged 16 or over can drive; anyone younger rides as a passenger with an adult driver. If your day is already full, the 60 minute slot at the park gate fits between other plans. See the zipline guide and the segway guide for other ways to spend time in the forest near Stormsriver Village.
