What’s included?

What happens if the wind or weather turns bad on the day?
We watch the forecast (the Cape Doctor can howl). If conditions aren’t safe or enjoyable, we’ll reschedule at no charge or help you switch to a shorter/alternative route. If you can’t reschedule, talk to us—fair refunds/credits apply on a case-by-case basis.
Do you offer hotel pickup and drop-off?
Yes. City Bowl, Waterfront, Camps Bay, Hout Bay, Constantia are covered; other areas on request. We’ll confirm pickup time windows and any surcharges when you enquire or book.
Can children ride as pillions?
We prioritise safety. As a guideline, pillions should be tall enough to place both feet on the pegs and confident holding on. We recommend ~10+ years; final discretion rests with your guide/rider on the day.
What should I wear—and what gear do you provide?
Wear long pants, closed shoes/boots, and a light jacket (layers are best). We provide DOT/ECE helmets and riding jackets (S–XXL) and have gloves available. Hygiene liners are offered for helmets.
I’m new to left-hand traffic—can I get a practice session?
Absolutely. Book a 10–15 min acclimatisation loop around Hout Bay with a quick controls & safety briefing before your ride. If you prefer, choose a chauffeured tour and enjoy the views while our pro rides.

A hidden gem in Hout Bay – Perfection in Every Detail! Amakhaya Lodge Hout Bay
Amakyhaya Lodge delivered an unforgettable stay from start to finish. The rooms were immaculate— not a speck out of place — and every little detail had been … More thoughtfully considered. From the plush bathrobe and quality toiletries to the cotton wool and other touches that truly made the space feel luxurious and complete, nothing was overlooked.
The mini bar was fully stocked with delightful treats, a welcome surprise that added to the feeling of indulgence. The bed? Pure bliss — like sleeping on a cloud. But what stole my breath was the view from my balcony: sweeping vistas of Lion’s Head and the shimmering bay below, a postcard come to life.
The dining experience was just as memorable. Every meal was a sensory delight, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Amakyhaya has mastered the balance of comfort, elegance, and heart. I left feeling truly cared for and already planning my return.
Highly recommended to anyone seeking serenity with a touch of luxury in one of Cape Town’s most scenic corners. -
