Upon arrival, you will be shown to your rooms, and an introduction to your bikes will be scheduled for the early afternoon. Enjoy sundowners at Black Cliffs, setting the scene for the next eight days of your dirt bike experience.

Day 2 | Kob Inn 

Welcome to the Wild Coast as we cross the mighty Kei River by 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 

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, 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 | Ocean View 

After a good rest day at Kob Inn, 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, namely 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 Ocean View Hotel, which is virtually on the beach in a small magnificent bay between great towering cliffs and the sparkling Indian Ocean.

Day 5 | Ocean View 

Once again, this is your day, and whether you feel up to a ride, it’s 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 | The Haven 

When God made a riding day, this is it. 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 & 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.

You’ll have a late start in  the morning at 9 am, and the ride to the Morgan Bay 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. 

That evening is the official Finisher shirt handover and a Reunuion party of note.

Could be a slow start for  some as the shuttle bus awaits and transfers to East London. Depending  on flight times we could visit a local game reserve on the way and check  out some cool spots of the Sunshine Coast.
