About
This experience is excellent for all from the age of 8 years old. Join my tour from the top of the Walker Bay nature reserve down the stunning sand dune field on a bucket list experience you didn't know existed :-)
Even if you are a Pro rider you will love this experience as it is a combination of riding, skiing on the sand and riding on terrain not possible on any other bike. The experience is completely unique and just so much fun you will want to come back again and again.
Experience riding out in the great outdoors away from people immersing yourselves in the most incredible natural landscape with stunning ocean views. In Whale season witness the many Whales in the bay during the ride. Morning and Sunset tours are available daily.

- Traveler6013210 contributionsA Highlight of Our Holiday!We had an amazing time on the Fatbike Tour with our family of four (kids aged 12 and 15).

The stunning views, exhilarating descents, and Dave’s passion for storytelling and wildlife knowledge made it unforgettable. His sparkling enthusiasm truly brought the tour to life.

- Trek579410055780 contributionsEssential experience, worth travelling to!Dave was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. He took us to all the most interesting parts of the dune, guided us through carving the sand slopes and we both had a really good time. Lovely hearing all the titbits of information about the local wildlife and his stashes of paraphernalia to backup his information too. Blown away by the beauty of the dune and how untouched it all was, got some incredible pictures both taken by us and Dave's GoPro too. Can't wait to do it again next time I visit!Written 13 October 2024

Very nice tour! A combination of sport, fun and info. Dave is very entertaining, he is a fun narrator and gives information about the area and its animals. Cycling through the dunes goes amazingly well on those fat bikes. Nice pictures are taken during the ride. This tour is definitely recommended!

We are a family of 5, with 2 adults and 3 children aged 14, 12, and 9, and each of us loved the experience.The route was beautiful and suitable for all ages, allowing the whole family to fully enjoy the adventure. Our guide, Dave, was exceptional. He made the activity both fun and informative, and we want to give a special thanks to him for his kindness and professionalism.We highly recommend this activity to all families looking for a unique and memorable experience in nature. Thank you again Dave for this unforgettable day!

Biking the dunes with Dave as our guide was amazing! Dave is so passionate about this biking adventure , he made the experience so fun for our family of 4 (2 kids in their 20’s)
Wouldn’t have thought we’d learn so much about the area too! Plants / vegetation and creatures (land and water) Dave is full of knowledge! It was more than just biking ! The dunes were beautiful, and learning how to ride down was exciting and doable for all our abilities. Also Dave takes beautiful photos of us riding and we get all the photos afterwards! It was such an incredible 3 hour activity, making our way to the bottom to the beautiful views of the ocean. Couldn’t get any better!!! Highly recommend Dave and the Fat Bike Tour , a must do!

Every time I am in De Kelders I go for a ride with Dave, We did it as a family, as a couple, with a group of 14 . This time with our 2 friends from Austria. Dave is amazing, a perfect entertainer, an awesome photographer and a wonderful guide. He tells a lot of stories about nature, the area, shows you the dunes in the most spectacular and beautiful way. We´ll be back, Dave - see u next year!

Thanks for the great review Graeme :-) I am so lucky I get to do this daily and share my passion for this world class landscape and to combine it with my love for photography. Hope to see you on your next visit. South Africa is a place you cannot do only once, twice or three times :-)

It was overcast and the fynbos were still wet from rain in the morning. We embarked, mostly downhill, on a single track through the fynbos and suddenly we were in a white desert...a huge opening in the bush with dunes of all sorts of sizes. We did some skiing with the fat bikes down some steep and not so steep declines. In the distance we saw the ocean and suddenly we were there. Huge waves battering the sandsteen cliffs and we could feel the spray coming from the see. A fabulous experience in paradise! Dave you are a fantastic host, we learnt a lot from wildlife the healing power of the cancer bush and more! Looking forward to doing it again.

Dave’s Fat Bike Tour is the perfect venue for exploring and learning about the Walker Bay Nature Reserve, while adventuring, taking in incredibly beautiful sights, and having a ton of fun. Dave is an exceptional guide, brimming with positivity, enthusiasm, and thoughtfulness. The tour is well suited for bicyclists ranging from beginner to advanced skill levels. Dave allows participants to make the tour as physically challenging as they’d like. And he is a great story-teller. My wife and I agreed that this is the best adventure tour we’ve taken yet!
