A short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest and it is time to monkey around!From the start on the launch platform, a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first tree platform.

Everything went smoothly and all the kids enjoyed the experience. - Sharon
Mila enjoyed the Zipline very much, thanks a lot for the good organisation. - Simone Wilhelm (Mila)
Great, I was very nervous but our guides were so super. Felt very safe. Beautiful lines - Marlous Vaes
This was not the first time that we had ziplined, as we have been to Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Drakensberg and Magaliesberg before. Each one has been a different experience of the landscape. One is always shown a video beforehand, and the safety rules are explained very well before you start. One only has to overcome your own fears of leaping off a platform. This becomes easier for me every time. The Tsitsikamma forest is very beautiful. We learned a little about some of the old trees. Unfortunately, we did not see any wildlife or birds. I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone. - Gail van der Meijden
A thrilling experience with patient guides. Excellent safety precautions. Very well organised and environmentally conscious - Lisa Scott

Excellent quad biking experience on the beautiful Misty Mountain Reserve. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and moved at a good pace. The views over the ocean were breath taking. - Nabeel Goolam Mahomed
The venue and setting is beautiful but the quad bike ride was a bit disappointing. One of the bikes started giving trouble right from the start (losing power and smoking) and the husband swopped with his wife. During the ride the guide's quad started giving trouble and she has to eventually abandon it and ride with another rider. The initial bike that gave trouble also had to be left on the way back and my wife's quad also stopped working on the way back (after the halfway mark). A van had to fetch the husband, my wife and the guide and return them to the starting point. The route is not that exciting, just driving between the cut tree plantations. I would have expected better quality equipment and maintenance on these from such a highly rated establishment. Those quad's are in need of replacement or overhaul's. - Philip Pieterse
Enjoyed the views. My bike broke down 10min into the tour and we had to wait for a different bike. My pants was soaking wet as the seats arent covered when it rains therefor the seat soaked in water from the previous rain. Lovely tour guide... - Liesl Greyling
We had an amazing time on the quad bike tour at Misty Mountain Reserve! Our guide was super friendly, relaxed, and always in a great mood, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. He took us to a beautiful viewpoint with breathtaking scenery that we would never have found on our own. The tour was great fun, the landscapes were stunning, and everything was well organized. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun adventure in the area. Thanks for an unforgettable day! ????? - Wenger Noel
It was absolutely amazing for a first time quad biker. Our instructor was clear regarding safety procedures, routes to be taken and the bonus was the view of the sea. She made it more pleasurable due to her humour and demeanour. The bikes were well kept for our level of use and also clean as they can be for our adventure. Again what a blast. - Nhlakanipho Ntuli
