      After Dune 2, my favourite dune experience of the last year.
      My wife and I took part in the quad biking in Atlantis Dunes yesterday and had a fantastic time. The landscape itself is slightly surreal after the greenery of nearby Cape Town. Great views out to the coast and back to Table Mountain and we managed to get some great photos. Our guide was a guy named Giverson who was fantastic. If you can get him while you’re there, I’d certainly recommend. We got the practicalities of driving the quads out of the way quickly and after a bit of time to get used to driving on the sand we were flying around. We also seemed to go further into the dunes and down to some areas that the other operators in the area didn’t seem to be going too. Overall a great experience that didn’t take up the entire day and was a very easy drive to and from Cape Town. Very recommended.

      Unforgettable Quad biking Experience
      We had the most incredible experience quad biking at Atlantis Dunes! From start to finish, everything was seamless and exhilarating. Our guide, Giverson, made the adventure even more special. He was not only knowledgeable and professional but also made sure we were safe and comfortable the entire time, allowing us to fully enjoy the thrill of riding across the stunning dunes. The scenery was breathtaking, and Giverson's guidance ensured we got the best out of the entire experience. This is an absolute must-do for anyone looking for an adventurous day out. We can't recommend it highly enough – amazing from beginning to end!

      A beautiful adrenaline rush
      I'm glad I could share this experience with my father and the guides were excellent as well. Hopefully we'll be alive and well to go again

      Great
      This was a great trip. I couldn't of asked for a better guide (Taariq). He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip great. It was my first solo travel and I felt very safe and well cared for by Taariq. I would also like to mention Lisan, who took care of us at the guest house. Another lovely person who helped make the trip wonderful. The adventures and experiences were great, but I don't think they would have been so without the great staff at Cape Extreme, attention to my needs. Sorry for the late review. Thank you for a great experience. Yerusalem

      Awesome Tour and History of Cape Town
      Very good experience with our guide Taariq. He was very knowledgeable and fun to interact with. He talked to everyone individually as well as with the group and was able to answer all of our questions. Gave lots of great recommendations for the area.

      Cape Town Vibes
      Amazing views, vibes and all. Highly recommended! Taariq is amazing and so knowledgeable. All 14 of us on the tour felt so comfortable and safe. Smooth driver and excellent educator. Great personality and sense of humor. He is great for families, friends, couples, business and solo trips. Super accommodating and very pleasant. I would work with Taariq in a heartbeat!

      Request for Taariq and enjoy!
      I had an amazing tour with Taariq! Between learning about the history, culture, and more of Cape Town, I had a tour of a lifetime. Also, Taariq made dinner reservations for a place called GOLD. it was one of the best meals and experiences I had on my South African trip. Thank you, Taariq!

      Unforgettable experience - definitely recommend
      Would 100% recommend the 11 day garden route/kruger tour. Saw so many beautiful places and met incredible people. The trip was so well organised and communication with Eunice was so easy. Our guide Taariq was the funniest person ever!! But also super helpful and went out of his way to take us where we needed to go. He is truly great at his job and a decent human being.

      Be aware: 1 days tour + 4 days at the kruger park is NOT an 11 days tour+kruger, but only 7 days total tour + 1 kruger
      Be aware: 11 days tour + 4 days at the kruger park is NOT an 11 days tour plus kruger, but only 7 days total tour + 1 day at the kruger The title is misleading because: A. you do NOT get 11 days of tour, but only 7 effective days. The first days the driver will just pick you up from the airport and drop off to the hotel!! Uber would have been enough. Then you have other 2 FREE days in Cape town where you are alone, and you have to pay for everything you do (such as the hop-on hop off tour). The last morning the driver will pick yo uup from the hotel and drop you off to the airport. Therefore 4 days are not used as a real tour!!! BE AWARE OF IT. B: you do NOT get 4 days at the kruger park, but just one day! Details: the first day is used to drive from Johannesburg to the park, and the last day to go back to Johannesbourg. Out of the 2 remaining days, only ONE day is spent inside the kruger park! the other day is spent between two private lodges. We have met people that were staying inside the park in nice hotels/accommodations and got to experience 4 full days in the kruger park. We haven't! C): 2 full days LOST inside the van. We could have fly. During the tour we have been asked to fly from Cape Town to Johannesbourg, then to sleep in johannesbourg and, the day after, a driver has driven us to kruger park. Well....it has been a waste of time and money, because we could have flew from Cape Town to Kruger!!!! we would have saved: - a full day wasted in the van - a night spent in the hotel in Johannesbourg -the cost of the driver to go to the kruger park. Attention please: It is clear that the tour company, called CAPE XTREME, wanted to make money from us adding activities such as the night spent in the hotel in Johannesburg and the 2 days driver activity. As example imagine to be in New York, drive to Washington, sleep in Washington, and then fly back to New Jersey!!!!!!! 4. Same situation has happened on the way back: we could have book the flight from the kruger park, to save one day, but CAPE XTREME has forced us to spend one full day in the van to go back to Johannesburg to sleep there! As mentioned above, we have wasted one full day of tour and we have wasted money for the driver and the night in the hotel 5: Additional bedroom not required. We were 3 guys. We have asked to sleep in one bedroom to save money. it has been denied us because we have been told that the rooms were only double. However in all the hotels the rooms had multiple beds: At the lodge near the kruger park our room had 4 beds!! but we had 2 different rooms with a total of 6 beds! Same in Cape Town. It is obvius that the tour company just wanted to generate additional business for the hotels, forcing us to get 2 bedrooms instead of one. We could have save lot of money using only one room. NOT recommended.

      Sand boarding
      We had a great few hours with Toric sand boarding on the sand dunes. He was brilliant with our 2 boys and made it loads of fun for them but also understood that we were more nervous and helped us every step of the way. Brilliant time would thoroughly recommend

      Loved every minute of this tour
      I recently completed this tour with my adult daughter. From the first communication with Eunice to the end of the tour I cannot rave about this company enough. Tariq was our guide and was professional, knowledgeable, lots of fun and looked after us so well. Our accomodation was clean but basic. We were given detailed information every day and Tariq was flexible to show us a few extra highlights. Eunice communicated with us constantly to ensure we had all the information. If you are easy going, relatively fit, don’t mind driving long distances with lots of rest stops though this tour is for you. We loved every minute of our tour.

    Abseiling on Table Mountain was an adrenaline rush with amazing views.

    Though some people choose to hike the mountain, we opted to take the cable car to the summit, which afforded amazing views and an expedited trip (we had also climbed Lion's Head that morning and were in no shape to climb mountain #2).

    We lucked out and did not face any lines for the cable car experience, but we showed up an hour before our reservation time just in case. When we were on the way down the mountain the line was massive, so I think we made the right decision.

    the scariest part of abseiling was the walk from the top of the mountain to clip yourself into the abseiling equipment. It is quite intimidating given the incredible height, sheer cliffs, and the fact that you've not yet gotten comfortable with the safety harnesses yet.

    Once you're all strapped in, they give an in-depth safety overview and review next steps. The entire team was professional and supportive. As someone afraid of heights, I greatly appreciated this.

    Once you get going down the mountain, the experience is really quite fun! We also bungee jumped on this trip and I found abseiling to be far more enjoyable.

    I've seen reviews that note the hike back up to the top of the mountain is pleasant; for those who are hiking/climbing novices note that there are a few scrambles and it takes some time to get back up to the top. It's a short hike but of moderate difficulty.
