On first arrival at the premises, it was underwhelming. Staff was friendly, but there was noone to meet us. There are also no bathrooms on-site and we had to wait for one of the guides to return with a key to open for us at the nearby lodging premises. The guides were friendly, but the quadbikes seemed very run-down and not maintained well. We had to use small quads (suited for children) rather than bigger quads for adults and then also lift children on these smaller quads. These bikes were also a safety hazard as my child's shoe burnt on the hot (and frankly dangerous) exhaust pipe (even trying not to place it near it). The bikes handling was extremely poor and I had difficulty controlling my bike on the rough terrain. My child didn't have a safety harness and a helmet (although XS) that was way too big and heavy for her. One of the quadbikes in our group broke down mid-way with oil spewing out all the lady's leg and clothes. This was not compensated for. The lady was then given another bike that also broke down a few minutes further down the road with the chain comming lose. She was left alone in the woods as the leading guide neglected to stop and turn back. Only when arriving at the outlook point, did we notice she wasn't with us. This seemed very unprofessional. I also myself was a first-time driver and got lost while falling behind the main group. I had a small child with me and some consideration could've been given to us to slow down the group or at least have the guide wait for us to catch up. On two occassions, I couldn't see where the group went and got lost where the paths forked. This created unnecessary anxiety and spoiled the trip. It is also deemed very dangerous to drive on the open road with quadbikes (especially with children present). On our way back, it felt we had to cut the course short due to all the breakages and take the main road back. As much as I enjoyed the experience, I really would've liked for it to be more professional and make us feel safe and well-looked after. Most times I felt frustrated with the guide in front just speeding ahead and not waiting for the entire group to ensure all is well and everyone is safe. During the break at the lookout point, the bikes were left idling and was so loud we couldn't have conversation or alert the guide of any issues. Thank you for a lovely course through the woods. I would've enjoyed the view alot more if I wasn't so nervous trying to keep the bike on the road, worried of my child burning her feet and legs against the hot exhaust pipe and then having to struggle with a throttle that eventually gave me cramps in my hands and wrists. I will not be visiting this particular quadbike tours again.

Most Exciting Adventurous Activities and the Only Quadbike Tours in Tsitsikamma ...............well, NOT at all. We had a terrible experience. The quadbikes are NOT up to standard. The smoke from the exhaust was so bad, that you had to drive far from the bike in front of you - otherwise you struggle to breath. We went out with Five bikes and returned with THREE!!! The bikes just broke down. This was absolutely unacceptable. We had to lift the other 2 drivers. I messaged the owner, but he did not ever bother to respond to me! I hope people read this review, and think twice to book with them. There are many other quadbike trips you can do, so don't waste your money on this one!! It is absolutely by far NOT the most exciting or adventurous trip you can do.

Well NOT GOOD AT ALL... 1) At first the one quad bike had problems running does not wanted to idle.... 2) The Quads both smoked a lott....and that tells a person the engines is in a worn out condition. 3) The bike gave problems and we had to stop getting it started ...then me and my wife switched quads...hope it will be better... 4) The route is very dusty and it was not enjoyable because a person drive just through the Forrest. 5) On our way back the quad died completely... 6) We left the quad bike in the Forrest and the quide gave me his quad and the quide ride back with my wife...so then this whole quad bike experience dropped to a Bad ride and I almost thought i need a " refund " * The Guide was friendly although I think he was also embarrassed by this situation.
