Experience the magnificent Cape Winelands on horseback, quad or horse-drawn carriage. Trek over one of the most beautiful mountains in South Africa and enjoy breathtaking views. Wine Valley Adventures helps you create these memories with our flexible packages. Custom-make your experience to include meals – and wine tasting experiences – off the beaten track in the beautiful Boland.
The area has a rich ecology, with different kinds of harmless species and beautiful plants that can only be found in Cape Town, like the Fauna plants and Fynbos. Most of the animals like antelopes and some reptiles hide during the day. However, nature is safe and friendly for all young and old.
Nature Discovery Quad Biking, is an eco tourism adventure tour, started by Michelle Mazurkiewicz, within the Cape Winelands famous for it’s pristine beauty, excellent wines, and wonderful cuisine. Based on the spectacular Vrede en Lust Wine Estate which boasts a world class Wine Tasting venue and wines, restaurant, Lust Bistro & Bakery, Wedding and function venues and of course beautiful options for accommodation. We also ride through Forestry and into the adjoining nature reserves. Vrede en Lust is only 40 min drive from Cape Town. It is however recommended to give yourself 1hr incase of unforeseen traffic. Please check the road apps for traffic issues. It’s very important to arrive 30 min before your trail booking time for your briefing and helmet fitting. Please inform us if running late, so we can see if we can change your booking time and not have to forfeit your driving time.
Nature Discovery Tours offers visitors a previously unavailable opportunity to explore and appreciate the Reserve’s biodiversity, using four-wheel, 4×4, all-terrain vehicles (quad bikes), and bikes as options for getting around. These vehicle types were chosen and adapted to cause minimum impact on the environment.
Depending on which Trail option you chose, the trails penetrate deep into the pristine wilderness, opening up a whole new world for both the adventure traveller and wildlife enthusiast. The shorter rides will trail blaze you through the winelands and might touch into the nature reserves and forestry areas.
Some trails lead high into the mountains, where around every corner you can find new views of the spectacular mountain ranges including Simonsberg, Du Toit’s Kloof, Bainskloof, Paarl Rock and Nature Reserve, Franschhoek Valley, and Mont Rochelle Mountains all the way around to Table Mountain, Slanghoek, Waaihoek and Ceres. It’s an explosion of mountain ranges in all directions and often in the winter months you will see the highest peeks snow capped. Look forward to crossing small rivers, vineyards, forestry, mountain passes, pristine fynbos, famous to the region. Overnight stays can be arranged on the Vrede en Lust Estate itself or the many neighbouring farms. We like to exceed visitors’ expectations – and we mostly do – having been in operation for 12 years, with user-friendly, high-class machinery suitable for families and small corporate groups. See our comprehensive and informative website for further details on the wide choice of trails.
We go out 7 days a week and our trails are accompanied by experienced, knowledgeable guides.
We look forward to seeing you!
