This is a point of interest scavenger hunt with over 100 places to look for.
Embark on the ultimate Motorcycle Rally, a dynamic team event that pushes the boundaries of exploration and camaraderie. This rally is not bound by predetermined routes; instead, teams armed with adventure bikes and dual-sport machines navigate the diverse landscapes of San Diego, CA, in a scavenger hunt-style adventure.
Equipped with a map and a clue book, teams decipher hints that lead them to discover hidden Points of Interest (POIs) scattered throughout the region. These POIs could range from stunning natural landmarks to historical sites or local gems, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the journey. The lack of determined routes allows for a truly spontaneous and personalized adventure, ensuring each team’s experience is unique.
