6-day Western Cape Mountainbike Safari

A scenic Bicycle tour from Cape Town to Cape Town with comfortable Guest Lodge accommodation. Take in some breath-taking sights as we meander a circular tour from Cape Town to Hermanus and back.

Day 1 Cape Town to Stellenbosch. Today we'll bring you to the World famous Blouberg Strand to have a last look at Table Mountain for the next following days. After pictures have been taken we cycle through scenic countryside to the Cape's famous Wine region and old town Stellenbosch. After checking into our lodge we'll head out to see what the town has to offer. If you want, you can take part in one of the wine tastings. [D]

Day 2 Hellshoogte Pass - Franschhoek. Today we'll have about 45 km to cycle. The support vehicle will take anyone over steep hills and passes that would prefer that. After leaving Stellenbosch we cycle over Hellshoogte Pass into Franschhoek. En route we can enjoy another wine tasting if anyone likes. After the wine tasting we'll transfer the last few kilometers into Franschhoek. In the afternoon you can explore the quaint village of Franschhoek. [BD]

Day 3 Hermanus. Today we'll have a longer driving day and leave the wine lands to head towards the coast. Our destination is Hermanus, in season one of the best places to spot whales. Once we've arrived we'll explore this little coastal town by bike. [BD]

Day 4 Hermanus. Today we'll take you into a nature reserve outside of Hermanus. Here we can cycle the whole morning through forest roads and have lunch in the nature reserve (Fernkloof Nature Reserve). The afternoon is free to enjoy Hermanus or take part in optional activities like Shark Cage Diving. [B]

Day 5 Cape Point Nature Reserve. Today we'll transfer you to the Cape Point Nature Reserve. The whole day is spent cycling along various roads and of course to the Cape Point, where you can leave your bicycles and walk to the Lighthouse.
