Coastal Harley Rides in Cape Town: Chauffeured Atlantic-Edge Scenic Tours
Strap in as a passenger on a chauffeured Harley Big Twin and trace Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline — from Camps Bay to Chapman’s Peak — in a two‑hour guided scenic ride. Enjoy frequent photo stops, helmet included, and door‑to‑door pickup.
The Experience
Before You Go
Confirm pickup location
Provide your hotel or guesthouse address at booking — most pickups cover Camps Bay, the Waterfront and central hotels.
Know the weight limit
Maximum passenger weight is 100 kg (220 lbs); operators enforce this for safety and bike balance.
Dress for wind and spray
Bring a windproof outer layer and closed-toe shoes — the Atlantic side gets cool, gusty, and occasionally damp.
Health restrictions apply
Not recommended for people with spinal or serious heart conditions; you must be able to mount and dismount a motorcycle.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Chapman’s Peak lookout for dramatic cliff-to-sea vistas
- •Kalk Bay harbour for a quick seafood coffee stop and working-fishing town atmosphere

Conservation Note
Coastal habitats are sensitive — stick to designated viewpoints, avoid disturbing wildlife (especially penguin colonies), and carry out any litter; operators typically follow road rules to minimize environmental impact.
Motor touring became popular in the Cape during the 20th century as roads improved; routes along the Atlantic coast connect historic fishing villages and seaside suburbs that grew around maritime trade and leisure.
