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

What an awesome experience. Passport control was a breeze and it was an eye-opening experience to see how the people in Lesotho live. The visit to the highest pub in Africa is something never to be forgotten. The guide who took us on the tour was well-informed and a superb driver. This is the kind of stuff memories are made of.

We did 2 excursions with Mike and both were superb. First, we did a sunset e-bike ride along the coast through Chapman Pass. During this ride we stopped at a local vineyard for a fantastic tasting. Then we stopped at a local craft brewery for some of their samples. It was great having someone local guiding to so many amazing locations. Because we had such a great time our first time with Mike we decided to go with him on a Cape Peninsula tour. First stop was Boulders Beach to see the penguin colony. He knew all of the places to hit. After that we entered the Cape of Good Hope Reserve for the e-bike part of the day. This was a lot of fun and a great way to hit more stops and see more sights than a bus tour. A late lunch at a fantastic restaurant with ocean views ended our day. We all had an amazing day. You can’t go wrong with Mike and Venture South. He and his staff are incredibly personable and gave us some of our best experiences and memories of our visit to Cape Town. Thanks Mike!

What a great find. We were 6 bikers travelling through the Tankwa and stayed in the tented camp. Perfect evening braiing under the stars with fantastic hospitality from Rael and Michelle. Tents were spotless and the beds very comfortable. We looked at the chalets which were also very well put together and clean. What amazing sunsets and tranquility.

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)

Our curated wine experience was incredible. Our tour guide Roger ensured we learnt at each farm, tasted the best wines at each farm and walked away feeling amazing. It was the best experience, and Roger was a wonderful host. We are very glad to have had Roger as our guide. He ensured we received the best wines at each farm, and assisted us with choosing our favorites from each farm to purchase. Thank you Roger for the most fantastic day, despite the rain.
