Quad biking in Elgin

Went quad biking in Elgin this weekend as a surprise for JW’s birthday. We went on a Nature’s Discovery trail into the Hottentots Holland mountains, coming out at a lookout point just above Sir Lowry’s pass where you can look down onto Somerset West and Strand and Table Mountain from behind and even see Robben Island far off in the distance.
The trail is amazing – you go through forest and rocks and sand and the fresh air is just wonderful and the landscape is so beautiful and surreal. The entire trip took us 3 hours with a tea and rusk break at the top.
It was truly beautiful. I can’t recommend it enough! If you want to go, I booked through Extreme Scene Adventure Tours. Nature Discovery Tours run the actual trails. 10 thumbs up!
