What to do and see in Cape Town Central, Western Cape: The Best Motorcycle Tours

December 17, 2021 Marlin Saiz

Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

Cape Town Trike Tours for the most exciting and novel way to see the beautiful Cape Peninsula (in my opinion). From collection to drop off( 9am to 5pm) we had the most memorable experience. Willem is a very knowledgeable guide and safe driver. We discovered a few firsts, which we had never explored before. Along the Atlantic Seaboard we could take a longer look at the exquisite seafront properties which are built on the steep slopes of Table Mountain. The curving Chapmans Peak drive (with 114 curves, Willem did admit he had not 'yet' counted them) by trike is just something one has to experience as is the long downward ride into Hout Bay. We enjoyed the smells of the ocean, the tree lined roads and the fynbos. If you are looking for something different, safe and exhilarating to do we can only recommend Cape Town Trike Tours. We previously booked the full day Hermanus and Whale Route tour as with this tour we were left with wonderful long lasting memories. Thank you Willem

Cape Town to Namibia with UpSouth Adventures and Motorrad Tours. What an amazing trip. Fantastic bikes, all brilliantly maintained. Great support vehicle and support Team. The routes were breathtaking and the accommodation was some of the best I have stayed in. We were so well looked after it was humbling sometimes, it was supposed to be a ruffty tuffty bike trip but we were spoilt rotten. Could recommend it highly enough. What an adventure.

This motorcycle tour will immerse you in some of the most breathtaking scenery in South Africa. We will ride some stunning coastal roads and beautiful mountain passes. This tour is also a ghost ride. We'll ride along paths trod by a captivating cast of heroes who shaped the life of Cape Town and South Africa. We'll track the beginning and end of Nelson Mandela's time in prison. We'll encounter the legend of the Watcher of the South and the creation of Table Mountain as told in Xhosa mythology. We'll discover how the mountains we ride in were used to measure the size of the Southern Hemisphere. We'll see how the water that flows from Table Mountain made it possible to build a trading station - and eventually a city here. We are confident this tour will give you lifelong memories of incredible motorcycling and a group of new friends: ghosts from the past as well as the Ride Down South crew.

Inclusions: Honda Africa Twin 750 or Suzuki VStrom 650 motorcycle, Riding gear - a selection of helmets, jackets and gloves are available, Fuel

Discover the charm of the old railway service road to Darling with a small dual-sport motorbike, starting from and returning to Bellville (Cape Town), during a full day guided tour. After a short warm-up ride (30') on country roads, you will meet the first gravel road, where some skill and safety exercises are planned. Leaving the gravel, you will then ride the trail along the old railway, with a short challenging escapade into the surrounding hills, all the way to the picturesque little town of Darling. On the way back, and although the railway road remains the guiding thread, several variations will allow you to experience some sand riding and navigate through the "fynbos" fields of the Rivelands reserve. This 180km tour is absolutely suitable for off-road beginners. The journey offers a unique and unforgettable way to get to Darling and back, and is at the same time a fantastic opportunity to discover the joy of riding in a challenging environment.

Inclusions: Lunch, Rider's Safety Apparel, Rental Dual-Sport Motorcycle (250ccm)

The greatest Enduro experience you can think of with an amazing guide who really knows the area inside out! I was fascinated by the beautiful landscape and will definitely book another tour with Endurafrica next year :)

6. Full day Ceres and Bainskloof trike tour.

Cape Town Trike Tours

Travelling on a trike means that you are part of the environment in which you are riding. You get to see and smell all that nature offers unlike sitting in a stuffy bus with strangers which only offers you a partial view of the area that you are travelling through. This is a very scenic tour starting in Cape Town. We'll travel down the N1 up and over the Du Toits Kloof pass with a photo stop and a chance to admire the stunning scenery from the top of this mountain pass. From here it’s down to Rawsonville where we'll turn off to Slanghoek riding through the amazingly beautiful Slanghoek valley. From there it's to Wolseley and Ceres where we’ll stop for something to eat. The return trip will take us over the magnificent and historic Bains Kloof pass to the quaint town of Wellington for a drink stop. From here we’ll make our way back home via the historic town of Paarl and the N1 motorway where we will have to unfortunately say good bye to each other at your hotel or guesthouse.

Inclusions: Experienced guide

Exclusions: Lunch, Alcoholic Beverages

The place where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. It is wonderful to see this facility is finally upgraded to a proper tourism attraction. The walkways, map of Africa and the direction indicators are all welcome additions giving visitors a clear indication of where they are in relation to the rest of Africa. The walkways are also wheelchair friendly.

I have explored the Cape Peninsula in many ways. I have cycled, I have hiked, I have run - but mostly I have guided clients and shown them what most appeals to them. No two tours are the same -Yes, we follow the same route - but there are multiple interesting stops on the way. The Cape Peninsula is rich in raw natural beauty with amazing vistas, plant life and mountains. People add the cream on top!
