Cape Escape Mountain Biking Tours EST. 1995
About this Tour
Our Mountain bike mini peninsula loop starts from the iconic slopes of Table Mountain. Playground par excellence the mountain staged the Cape Epic prologue many times over.
The first part of our journey takes us on a short but exciting 30km of mixed track conditions all the way to Tokai Forest. Starting at Table Mountain lower cable car station, the tared road soon becomes dirt, descending towards Cape Town university. The first 15km is short but exciting all along the face of the mountain. A couple of steep loose descents and technical sections will test your bravery and skill in equal measure. Riding beyond Rhodes Memorial, through Groote Schuur Estate, Cecilia Forest before reaching the suburban trail of Constantia greenbelt. The trails along the greenbelt offer a little bit of everything, from the odd dip into fully covered forest to a smooth manicured trail. Â Reaching late in the morning, Tokai pitstop to refuel with coffee and food.
The second part of our day start with the gradual ascent up the flanks of Constantiaberg. The moderate incline of the trail soon becomes a steep climb through sections of pine plantations before getting into the Silvermine Nature Reserve, home to more than 900 species of mountain fynbos. You now leave the forest and ride along a contour path. The wide-open spaces allow you to take in views of the Cape Flats, False Bay and Cape Point before reaching the Nature reserve. From here it’s another rough and rocky downhill jeep track crossing over the west side of the peninsula. You will be brave enough to leave the brakes alone!
The last part of our journey takes us along scenic tared coastal road. Starting with the world-renowned Chapman’s Peak route. A challenging and picturesque ride starting from Noordhoek and climbing steeply up to Chapman’s Peak viewpoint. What goes up must come down! If you’ve conquered that big hill, it is time to enjoy the reward of flying down the other side. Reaching the Hout Bay neighborhood and our final off-road section before a tared liaison along the Atlantic coastline and the 12 Apostles back to Cape Town.
A fantastic adventure and an unforgettable experience.

Patrick is a very nice person, a great MTB-guide who is perfectly adapting to his customers’ skills. Moments of him sharing his broad knowledge of the CT-area are also moments… read more to catch breath, as the trails can sometimes be pretty demanding. Exploring the CT-region by MTB is great and Patrick made it an unforgettable experience. Thanks, Patrick!

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!asseeger

If you love to hike new places this is one to experience in Cape Town. Patrick of Cape Town Tours was knowledgeable of the history, the wildlife and flora… read more and fauna of this unique area. As we went by areas he was sure to point out areas of interest and explained throughly. The hike was a challenge for this elder hiker but Patrick was patient and the to assist when needed. If ever I return to Cape Town I will definitely book another tour!

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.
