Cape Town: Mountain Biking Trip along Table Mountain

4.Mountain Biking Trip along Table Mountain

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 5 hours · from $94

Join Gideon for a private 45-kilometre mountain-bike ride from Constantia Neck across Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch, Newlands Forest, and Signal Hill. Expect 1,108 metres of climbing, rocky jeep tracks, single-track sections, hotel pickup, park entry, and optional e-bikes.

“Great experience with a good guide. Individual tour around the Table mountain. Early start because of the extreme expected heat today. The way back was for a significant part in the shade. Gideon explained a lot and shared good information. Good adaptation to my skills on the mountainbike. We also had some time to enjoy the marvelous views going around the Table mountain including taking pictures. Certainly recommended tour, but MTB experience is necessary, including the ability to withstand the heat.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · from $303

Ride a dual-suspension 29-inch mountain bike from Table Mountain to Groot Constantia in about three hours. Guide Patrick leads you across Jeep tracks, forest single tracks, bridges, and technical sections, with time for views and a possible wine-estate lunch.

“Very nice experience. Guide Patrick is very nice and spontaneous! Beautiful route from the table mountain with a bit of everything (single track, off road, through parks) and Patrick knew a lot about the area in between. We ended up between the vineyards where we could have lunch and look around and Patrick went to get the bus. Highly recommended if you have a bit of mountain biking experience and/or are sporty.”
