Kickstart Your Cape Town Mountain Biking Adventure
After an early energizing breakfast, we hit the trails for a thrilling 35km ride through mixed terrain toward the picturesque Constantia Valley. Don’t let the distance fool you—around Table Mountain, nothing is flat. Expect rolling contours, technical turns, and rewarding climbs.
From Iconic Table Mountain to Constantia’s Hidden Trails
Meticulously crafted by mountain bikers for mountain bikers, this epic day ride begins in the heart of Table Mountain National Park. Traverse a blend of singletrack and hard-packed gravel that hugs the mountain’s dramatic slopes. As you descend into the leafy suburb of Kirstenbosch and the lush Constantia Greenbelt, the ride transitions from wild terrain to scenic serenity—an ideal mix of adrenaline and flow.
Refuel and recharge in Tokai
Late morning sees us arriving in Tokai, one of Cape Town’s Mountain biking gems. Here, we pause for a light lunch and artisan coffee at a local favorite café—a perfect way to refuel for the ride ahead.
Climb Into the Wilderness of Silvermine
The afternoon leg begins with a gradual but persistent climb up the flanks of Constantiaberg. Transitioning through shaded pine plantations, the trail soon becomes steeper and more rugged as we enter Silvermine Nature Reserve—home to over 900 species of vibrant mountain Fynbos.
Ride the Ridge and Descend into Coastal Beauty
A contour trail with panoramic views awaits. Soak in the vast landscapes stretching across the Cape Flats, False Bay, and even as far as Cape Point. And then, it’s time to let loose: a rough, rocky jeep track plunges down the western side of the Cape Peninsula. This is where you test your nerve—can you resist grabbing the brakes?
Finish Strong in Noordhoek
Your first day in the saddle ends in Noordhoek, a charming coastal village and your well-earned resting point. With 50km of varied, high-energy terrain behind you, you’ll feel both accomplished and inspired for what lies ahead.
Overnight in Noordhoek
Lunch and dinner are excluded.

This scenic, tarred route hugs the cliffs above the Atlantic Ocean, delivering panoramic views and a thrilling descent into Hout Bay—a perfect warm-up for the mountain biking adventure ahead.
Transfer to Trail Heaven: Bottelary Hills Conservancy
Following our coastal ride, enjoy a comfortable 45-minute vehicle transfer to the Bottelary Hills Conservancy, nestled in the heart of the Cape Winelands. This world-class mountain biking zone features over 130 km of trails, including 42 km of flowing singletrack that winds through vineyards, fynbos-covered hills, and working farmlands.
Wildlife such as caracal, grysbok, Cape foxes, and otters still roam freely, adding a touch of wilderness to this biking paradise. Expect unforgettable views of Table Mountain, False Bay, and the surrounding Stellenbosch mountains at every turn.
Into the Winelands: Ride to Stellenbosch
Our mid-morning ride covers 30 km with an elevation gain of around 1000 meters—a rewarding challenge for moderate to fit riders. This Mountain Biking trail offers the perfect blend of technical sections and smooth, flowy singletrack, all set in natural terrain bursting with color and life.
As you ride deeper into the Stellenbosch wine region, each pedal stroke brings you closer to a well-earned lunch break in one of South Africa’s most celebrated food and wine destinations.
Afternoon Ascent: Jonkershoek to Banghoek Valley
After lunch, it’s time to shift gears and take on the northern slopes of Jonkershoek Mountain. The trail climbs steadily, delivering you into the misty heights of cloud country before a thrilling descent into the lush Banghoek River Valley.
This scenic stretch winds past green fields, orchards, and historic Cape Dutch farmsteads. The mix of natural beauty and expertly crafted trails keeps the adrenaline flowing all the way to our final destination.
Final Stop: Boschendal Estate

Cape Escape Tours has to be the best tour you could ever be on. Patrick makes your day. On timepick up, polite, knowledgeable, great driver. understands… read more the client, responds to any request, flexible. Full day tour to the cape of good hope with a great hike to the lighthouse. Had ample time for shopping and lunch. A wonderful stop @ Boulders Beach to visit penguins and a love at first site to see Simons Town. Was sad to leave at the end of the day. Any tour would be great but I’d say full days are the greatest. Going back to Cape Town I’d book everyday with him. Thank you Patrick for being amazing keep on being you as you are simply the best.

I had the pleasure to (try) the “Mini” peninsula all day tour. Patrick met me at the lower table car station at Table Mountain to start the tour. I was… read more his only guest, so we had lot’s of time to chat. Being in CT for 30 years and doing mtb for more than 15, Patrick definitely knows the ins and outs and is a very good guide.
The views and impressions, but also the inside informations on the tour were very special and even though I had to realise I would not make it back to the cable car station (I was around 250 / 1500 altitude meters short…), I still loved every meter I rode.
Patrick was kind enough to go on on his self to get his car, after which he fetched me and brought me to my car.
In a nutshell: Patrick is a very nice and fit guy you enjoy being around with that knows the Cape very well. I can recommend booking him–should I be travelling to CT again, I will do so myself!

Spectacular Mountain Biking Experience in Cape Town and Wine Country – My wife and I had an amazing ride with Patrick both along Table Mountain and then a few days later in Paarl on some excellent single track and Jeep trails.… read more The varied fauna and spectacular views left us hungry to go back and continue to ride with such a great guide. Both trips included high-end dual suspension mountain bikes and ended at lovely wineries which served excellent lunches. Patrick will be one of the first people we contact when we return to Cape Town – I couldn’t recommend a guide more highly.
