Durban’s Ricksha Bus service is ready for the high season, waiting to take visitors on a scenic three-hour ride giving an overview of Durban’s major attractions.
Taking in the sights of the city this way is so much easier than driving – instead of fighting through traffic and searching for parking, visitors get to sit and relax in the double-decker open-top bus and enjoy the fresh seaside air.
These include the Beachfront, uShaka Marine World, Emmanuel Cathedral, Victoria Street Market, Juma Musjid Mosque, the City Hall, Francis Farewell Square, Durban International Convention Centre, Kwa Muhle Museum, The Cube on Mitchell Park, Florida Road, Moses Mabhida Stadium, Blue Lagoon park and beach and the Suncoast Casino.
There are two tours daily: one from 09h00 to 12h00; the second from 13h00 to 16h00.
Adults pay R100 per trip, children and South African pensioners R51; children under five ride free.
The Ricksha Bus’s point of departure is the Durban Tourism North Beach Office at Number 1, KE Masinga Road. Bookings can be made at the same address.
