OVERVIEW

Ride through the beautiful Cape Peninsula in a chauffeured side car and stop along the way to observe a colony of penguins and explore a botanical garden. Traveling in a side car attached to motorcycle makes this adventure all the more exhilarating as you will ride in the open air and enjoy unobstructed views. There will be plenty to see as you travel along the Atlantic seaboard and Chapman’s Peak Drive, a legendary road with more than 100 curves. The Cape of Good Nature Reserve on the tip of the peninsula will be particularly scenic as you will enjoy a bird’s-eye view of it while riding a funicular. You may find the sights even more phenomenal while walking among a colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach. Although the penguins look similar, their feather patterns are as individual as human fingerprints. For the ultimate in biodiversity, you will meander through the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.
