De Hoop: Eco Quad Bike Trails

In addition to the list of activities already offered by the De Hoop Collection, we have recently introduced the operation of guided Eco Quad Bike trails on the De Hoop |Nature Reserve. Get the chance to go on a quadbike among herds of eland, bontebok and other game species with a qualified field guide who will share his knowledge of less obvious natural and historical aspects of De Hoop.  Visit Tierhoek where the leopards have been seen on camera! The duration of the activity could be anything between one to three hours with a beverage/snack stop at a picnic site overlooking the vlei. These trails will be charged individually on a per person per hour basis.

The purpose of the activity is for it  to be an awareness of the natural environment and an ecologically friendly slow paced biking experience. The Tierhoek 4X4 circle route north of the main Opstal area has been identified as being the most suitable route for the activity. The route will give guests the opportunity of viewing spectacular fynbos and absorbing breathtaking vistas over the Dehoop Vlei.

The activity will at all times be guided by trained staff from the De Hoop Collection. All participants will be issued with helmuts and the safety of participants and the environment impact will at all times be considered as the highest prority. off road driving and speeding will be strictly prohibited. No children under the age of 13 years, no lifting or doubling up on bikes will be allowed.

Guests may not be permitted to bring or ride their own quad bikes/ATV’s on the reserve.
