Your adventure begins in the morning at 8:30am as we depart from our RETZA base in Cape Town, riding towards the beautiful and Wild West Coast.
We’ll kickstart the tour by riding along the coast, before we turn inland, taking the Durbanville Wine Route, known for its picturesque vineyards.

ARRIVAL IN PATERNOSTER: Continue your journey towards Paternoster, a quaint fishing village with white-washed cottages overlooking the azure Atlantic Ocean.
Upon arrival and after check-in at your accommodation, we will invite you to a local wine tasting experience to appreciate some lesser-known wines from the West Coast region. We will end the day with a delicious dinner – a heaven for seafood lovers – before we walk back to our stay, to fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

DAY 2: PATERNOSTER TO CAPE TOWN (220km)

The day starts active! After a scrumptious breakfast, choose your adventure! Opt for an 1.5h E-Bike excursion to explore the stunning Paternoster beach, or embark on a Kayak experience in the harbour to immerse yourself in the coastal beauty. After we change back into our motorcycle gear, we head back to Cape Town. Our route will take us through the Langebaan Nature Reserve, home to diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, with the best views of the Shark Bay Lagoon. Keep your cameras ready for some spectacular photo opportunities.
LUNCH AT DARLING – THE WILDFLOWER MECCA: We’ll make a pit stop in the charming town of Darling, known for its arts and culture. Enjoy a light lunch while you soak in the town’s atmosphere. Darling is known for its beautiful Wildflowers. If you are here during the spring season (August & September), be prepared for the stunning sights of the region’s vast colorful fields.
ICONIC TABLE MOUNTAIN VIEWS: Your journey ends with a stunning view of the iconic Table Mountain from Blouberg’s Beach. It’s a sight that will stay with you long after the tour ends. As you ride back to RETZA, we’ll wrap up this incredible journey, filled with memories and experiences to cherish. It’s the perfect end to an epic Wild West Coast adventure.
