Garden Route

8 Day Road-Only Motorcycle Tour

The world-famous Garden Route earned its reputation for good reason. sweeping coastal roads that hug the ocean, inland passages that carve through wilderness, and landscapes that change dramatically around every bend. You don’t need a reason to take the scenic route but if you want one - we’ve got a whole trip for you.

Pillion Friendly?
Yes
Pillion riders are welcome to join these trips, provided the pilot is a highly experienced and competent motorcyclist.
Terrain
< 5% unpaved
There are no unpaved sections on this tour. There is a very short 400m dirt road to one of the lodges that we stay at and it is possible but unlikely that if we need to detour we might take a detour that has a dirt road section but we'll do our best to avoid this.
Total Distance KM
1655
This is the total riding distance from start to finish. This is not exact, and the real distance covered may be affected by conditions & road closures etc.
Support
Fully supported and guided
Our tour leader, who is trained as a wilderness first response medic, rides at the front of the group (carrying a medical kit), and we have a support vehicle travelling behind the group. The support vehicle carries all of your main luggage, spare parts, water, snacks and further med kit and stretcher. Back at base, we have a consulting expedition doctor, ready to assist and advise telephonically in the case of a medical emergency. Additionally, we have access to GPS tracking and a satellite phone on this tour. Support is dependent on the size and needs of the tour. This means that each tour could have a different set of support staff.

Difficulty Rating (overall)
2 (out of 10)
This is our best effort to give an average rating for the trip, based on the average rider. This is subjective though, and will vastly depend on your riding experience and ability. It can also vary depending on the weather conditions during your trip, and other things such as road works, road closures/diversions etc. If you're in any doubt about your riding ability, or if this difficulty rating concerns you, we strongly recommend you arrange a chat with one of our experienced tour leaders.
Average Daily Ride Hours
6 - 7
Generally, we depart at 9am and aim to arrive at the accommodation by 4pm, stopping for drink/photo stops and lunch along the way. These are not strict times, though, and can vary depending on the conditions at the time, the ability/pace of the group and the distance. It is unlikely to spend more than 6 hours in the saddle on any given day in this tour.
