This is a very unique tour and not to be missed. Riding from the mountain 185m down the sand dunes to the beach on a 6km incredible adventure. Explore the Walker Bay Nature Reserve with me and learn about the animals, dune structure, fauna as well as watching Whales as we ride during Whale Season. This is a very personal experience with small groups exploring the dunes in some of the most incredible landscapes in the world.

      Morning Fatbike Dune Tour with Dave Caravias
      I can't recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, the adventure was nothing short of amazing. Our guide was exceptional - knowledgeable and passionate about the local environment, sharing fascinating insights as we travelled over the breathtaking scenery, it was a fun and unique way to explore nature with family and friends.

      Family Dune adventure from Canada
      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!

      A fat bike trip in Paradise
      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.

      Amazing experience!
      We went on this trip with 3 kids and 2 adults and we really enjoyed the experience. It was really fun and interesting. Dave is such a nice guide, always smiling and giving you advice and anecdotes about the area while showing you the beauty of the dune's landscapes. It was really a pleasure to share this moment with him.

      We recently participated to fat bike activity with Fat Bike Tours in South Africa, and it was simply perfect! 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!

      a MUST DO whenever you stay in the Gansbaai area!
      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!

      Best fat tire experience ever
      I can’t say enough great things about this experience. Dave made it so special. He was so patient with some of the more nervous riders and so encouraging. We all loved it!

    We had an amazing time on the Fatbike Tour with our family of four (kids aged 12 and 15).
    Even though one child and Mom aren’t at all biking enthusiasts, Dave made the experience enjoyable and manageable for all of us.
    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.
    This was one of the highlights of our two-week holiday, and we loved every minute of it!
    I can not recommend it enough.

    We had a fantastic with Dave in the dunes in front of walker bay. The tour was a proposal from our guide at grootbos - and that was a really great idea!
    We had so much fun in the sand and Dave gave us a lot of explanations of the area.
    Once again, thank you Dave. It was one of our most exciting events this time in RSA.
    I really can recommend to everybody to do that.
