Downhill Adventures : Cape Point Nature Reserve Cycle Tour

A leisurely Mountain Bike ride through the most spectacular setting of the Cape Point Nature Reserve. This is probably the best way to experience the natural environment of unique plant and animal life of this area. By being on a bicycle you will participate in this experience, rather than observe it from the window of a bus. An important aspect of this trip is that a guide rides with you to make sure that you are well informed about the Fynbos Plant Kingdom and the abundant animal life in the reserve.

Stop when you want to take photos, and get closer to the animals, as being on a bicycle will not scare them away as there is no noise from an engine. See ostriches, antelope, baboons and mountain zebra.

Cape Point is over 70 km from Cape Town, so we drive along the Atlantic Sea Board going through Camps Bay, Llandudno, Hout Bay and Chapmans Peak. Once we get to the Nature Reserve we offload the bicycles and the ride starts, away from the traffic on the public roads.

When you reach Cape Point, we will take a walk to the top of the Point and enjoy lunch overlooking the spectacular ocean view, seeing the Whales in season. On the return journey you will ride along the Indian Ocean with spectacular views across False Bay, finishing at one of the few remaining African Penguin colonies left on the mainland of Africa.

The return drive will go through the old Victorian villages of Simon’s Town, Kalk Bay and St. James. By cycling through this area it is the only way to smell the unique scent of the Protea, get close to the indigenous animals, feel the sea breeze in your face, and truly feel alive!
