ITINERARY
DAY 1 | QOLORA MOUTH
After a pleasant overnight flight, you will arrive at East London Airport, where an air-conditioned shuttle bus, loaded with ice-cold beers, will transport you to the beautiful Trennerys Hotel. Upon arrival, you will be shown to your rooms, and an introduction to your bikes will be scheduled for the early afternoon. After dinner the kit handout and an intro to the next 7 days.
DAY 2 | KOB INN BEACH RESORT - 70KMS
Welcome to the Wild Coast as we cross the mighty Kei River by Motorised Ferry and embrace the magnificent Wild Coast, with stopovers at Trenneries, Wavecrest, and Mazeppa Bay Hotel. Our last challenge for the day is the mighty Gorge and crossing the Qora River. From here, it’s all the way to the shore with the Wild Coast’s finest, Kob Inn Beach Resort. Nestled right on the Indian Ocean shore, flanked by the river and the sea.
DAY 3 | KOB INN BEACH RESORT
There is no pressure, and you have various ways to spend your day at Kob Inn. The options include riding your bike for 2 to 4 hours, taking a circular route via the magnificent Shixini River, or simply chilling on the beach. You can even enjoy a leisurely sleep in. The choice is yours. It’s your holiday, so enjoy it!
DAY 4 | HOLE IN THE WALL HOTEL
We head along the coast, riding on rolling grass hills until we reach the quaint village of Beecham Woods. We have to cross two mighty rivers, the Nqabara and Mbashe, which is an easy 30km gravel road ride. Then, we return along the coast, passing by Hole In The Wall, and reach our final destination: the Hole in the Wall Hotel, which is virtually on the beach in a small magnificent bay between great towering cliffs and the sparkling Indian Ocean.
DAY 5 | HOLE IN THE WALL HOTEL
Once again, this is your day, and whether you feel up to a ride or not, is your call. The area around Coffee Bay is Dirt Bike Heaven, and the views will blow you away.
If it’s all too much, you can visit the various drumming spots in Coffee Bay, have lunch on the cliffs of White Clay, or enjoy a beer overlooking the famous Hole-in-the-Wall.
DAY 6 | HAVEN HOTEL
This is a stunning riding day. The beautiful cliffs, golden beaches, and incredible views will make this a very memorable day for all. A stopover at Bulls Inn, Bulungulu Backpackers, and crossing the Xora can be described in one word – AWESOME!
Our final stop at the Haven Hotel with its friendly staff is our favorite spot on the Wild Coast. It’s a very easy day, so we don’t need a rest for Day 7.
DAY 7 | WAVECREST HOTEL AND SPA
This day covers a long distance, but it’s short in terms of time spent in the saddle. We’ll be riding to the town of Wiollowvale to refuel. From there, we’ll continue through Cats Pass onto the Mazeppa Bay Road and head down to the coast via the Manubi State Forest. Finally, we’ll arrive at another gem along the Wild Coast, namely the Wavecrest Hotel and Spa. We should reach our destination by lunchtime, providing everyone with the opportunity to relax in the jacuzzi on the deck during the afternoon.
DAY 8 | TRENNERYS HOTEL
You’ll have a late start in the morning at 9 am, and the ride to the Trennerys Hotel will be fast and furious, allowing you to arrive in time for showers and lunch. This is the time to catch up with some washing, laze on the beach and rekindle memories of the last 8 days on the most beautiful coastline in the world.
DAY 9 | HOME
Shuttle bus to the airport and home.

MORE INFORMATION
We make use of the trusty Honda CRF 230s. For many reasons, these are just the perfect bikes. With a lower-than-most seat height, these bikes make it manageable for all riders to get their feet onto the ground. The 4-stroke engines deliver stable power and are not too snappy, making for an armchair-type riding style.
The bikes are air-cooled and all-electric start, meaning overheating is quite hard and you never need to worry about kick starting your bike
