Itinerary

Cycling enthusiasts will find their dream getaway on the "Cycling the Cape & Winelands" tour—a 12-day bicycle adventure that circles out from Cape Town into the heart of South Africa’s most stunning regions. This moderate-activity trip is tailored for experienced travelers eager to immerse themselves in the area’s vibrant scenery, rich heritage, and unique wildlife, all from the saddle.

Pedal along peaceful, low-traffic roads that wind through the iconic Cape Peninsula, where Table Mountain looms over the city and the wild coastline unfurls in dramatic fashion. The route takes you through celebrated wine regions like Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, offering plenty of opportunities to sample local vintages and learn about the region’s deep-rooted viticultural traditions.

Beyond the vineyards, the journey ventures to Cape Agulhas—the continent’s southernmost tip—and traverses the rugged interior, where you’ll encounter distinctive flora and fauna found nowhere else on earth. The ever-changing landscapes, from rolling hills to rocky outcrops and tranquil bays, guarantee every day brings a fresh sense of adventure.

The unique selling point? This tour package combines classic rides, world-famous sights, and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, making it the ultimate way to experience the Cape’s diversity. With expert guides, comfortable accommodations, and small group camaraderie, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of challenge, exploration, and relaxation in one unforgettable cycling trip.

day 1Adventure starts in Cape Town

Begin your adventure in cosmopolitan Cape Town, undeniably beautiful, culturally rich and a gateway to the Cape and Winelands. If you arrive in good time we recommend a cable car ride up Table Mountain for fantastic views over Cape Town and the coast; a visit to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens; or a half-day trip to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela and other members of the ANC served long prison sentences (this can also be done on Day 12, depending on the weather on Table Mountain).
Around 6pm, say howzit to your tour leader and fellow travellers, when we gather as a group for the first time to get to know each other and learn more about the adventures ahead.
Your tour leader then ensures a big South African welcome by arranging a group dinner.
Want to explore Cape Town further? Secure pre-tour hotel nights through your sales representative.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
