This part of South Africa is definitely the right place to go on this type of tour. Relaxed and quality experience. Out of this world beautiful sceneries, stunning coastal routes... To my taste, the weather is just right for this physically quite demanding experience: not too hot and not humid.
I thought after the first day of cycling I was going to hate this trip, but it got much much better. Being on the ground cycling through the dunes or with a random zebra crashing through a fence and bounding across the road in front of you is an amazing experience. Well worth the sometimes challengin cycling.
Superb trip, flexible organization, great food, accommodation, guides & bikes. An interesting variety of activities & enough spare time to feel that you weren't too rushed. Obviously, things like the weather & the number & variety of animals are variable & cannot be controlled. 1 of the best of many cycling tours I have done in several countries - I couldn't fault it!
Designed alongside Cape Town’s Tarryn Povey, one of southern Africa’s top marathon mountain bikers, this thrilling cycling adventure in South Africa showcases the utter beauty of the Garden Route. Riding from Cape Town to Knysna, we explore the Cape Winelands, tackle mountain passes, and discover the semi-arid desert of the Little Karoo. There’s also time to stay on a wine estate, visit the ostrich capital of the world, and quiz your tour leaders on all things bikes.
This tour is ideal if you are visiting Cape Town for the first time. It gives the perfect introduction to the culture, history and architecture of both old and new buildings in Cape Town.
The tour departs from the V&A Waterfront, where you will start your cycle ride to the city. The guide makes brief stops to explain significant attractions and their relevance both historically and currently.
One of the highlights of the tour is cycling through the Bo Kaap area, one of the most brightly coloured neighbourhoods in Cape Town. Most residents of this area are descendants of slaves from Malaysia and Indonesia. The tour also passes the parliament and heads toward the company's gardens. We make a final stop at the Green Point Stadium before cycling back to the Waterfront where we started.
