About Our 2 Day West Coast Tour

At Makani, we offer one of the most exciting west coast tours South Africa has to offer – on Harley Davidsons! The Cape’s West Coast is famous for its old-world charm, stunning beaches and centuries-old rock art. All along this stretch of coastline, you will find a series of quaint historic towns and fishing villages. This stretch of coast is a seafood mecca with a number of open-air beach restaurants offering freshly caught seafood. The rugged beauty of the Cape West Coast will linger with you and there are enough back roads off the R27 to make life really exciting. Taking this trip during the flower season is a must-do on anyone’s bucket list.

Overview

Although this tour can be undertaken at any time of the year, the most spectacular time is around December, where the normally dry West Coast landscape is transformed into a floral wonderland. Our trip takes us from Cape Town to Lamberts Bay, where we will stay overnight before riding back along the coastal route stopping at the West Coast Fossil park.

Here, you can see fossils of sabre tooth cats, bears, short necked giraffes, and many others, before popping in for lunch at the quaint fishing village of Paternoster.

Please be sure to book at least 10 days prior to preferred travel date. A minimum of 3 bikes are required for guided tours.

WEST COAST TOUR ITINERARY

Day 1

We depart from the Makani showroom at 07H00, heading out on the N7 towards Philadelphia where we will stop for a delicious early breakfast. We will then continue over the Piekenierskloof Pass. The road crosses the mountain at a height of 520m above sea level and the views are breath-taking. When we arrive in Clanwilliam we will stop in at the Old Gaol Museum, which is always a treat. We will then head off to our overnight destination, Lamberts Bay, with a few interesting pitstops on the way. The rest of the day is spent exploring the seaside village, which is the home to the West Coast Rally.

Day 2

We depart to Eland’s Bay after breakfast and travel from there to Velddrif along the coastal road. We will take time to visit the West Coast Fossil Park; a site worth visiting as it is one of the few places where you can see fossils in the ground exactly as they were buried about 5 million years ago. Our next stop is Paternoster, one of the oldest fishing villages on the West Coast of South Africa, where we will enjoy a scrumptious lunch. From Paternoster we return to Cape Town via Melkbosstrand, passing the nuclear reactor at Koeberg. Please be aware that this itinerary may need to change due to weather, road conditions or other factors. The tour guide will make the final decision after consultation with the tour operator and the group members. Safety of our clients come first!
