- Table Mountain - Our half day mountain bike tour start at Table Mountain lower cable car station, heading East of Table Mountain linking the existing Table Mountain trails around Rhodes Memorial to Constantia Neck. The first 3km of our ride is on tar along the based of Table Mountain perfect to get use to your mountain bike. The ride start with some rocky jeep track down toward Newlands forest. From here there are a combination of jeep tracks and single tracks through forest areas follow by a gradual ascent towards Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. You will be mountain biking above the garden follow by some more climbs and interesting technical sections to keep you focus. Kirstenbosch have put in some serious work to the trails traversing the upper part of the gardens, there are bridges and some part of the trails are bedded with wood chips. There are some very steep sections before reaching our mid point turn around for a coffee break at Constantia neck. Our last riding stretch to Constantia wine estate take us along the lower base of Table Mountain and through the Constantia valley with a good mixed of Jeep tracks, singles and some tar section to come.

Fantastic Mountain Bike Trip Around Table Mountain - My husband and I did the half day mountain bike loop around Table Mountain with Patrick, and it was spectacular! Fun, interesting, scenic riding on varied terrain. Patrick was an excellent guide, the bikes were great, and the ride was a highlight of our time in Cape Town. Highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience - We had an amazing experience and would defenelty reccomend trying this activity. We had the guide Patrick who was really amazing and gentle. The trip went from the cable station by Table mountain with a beautiful view in the sunraise. The Track varies from jeep Track and smaller trails in the forest. It was really fun and challanging, and Patrick was adjusting the trip based on our level.
Thank you so much for a wonderful day Patrick!

An epic adventure - What a great day on the bike! Patrick was great with communications prior to the day, keeping me updated on meet time and weather. Once we started, I knew this was going to be epic. A great adventure that covers a range of different road types. Great views around every corner and Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable!

Fun challenge with stunning views - I had an amazing experience mountain biking at Table Mountain with Patrick! It was a challenge (in a good way) and the views were stunning. Pat was so knowledgeable-pointing out historical landmarks in the city and explaining the flora of the area along the way! My bike was great, and sized properly for me. Highly recommend this tour if you’re into biking!

Above expectations MTB week - 6 days MTB tour with friends in Cape Town and Wine Valley (ao. Stellenbosch, Wellington,..). An experienced group of 9 friends eager to discover the South African country by bike. The trip with Patrick was above all expectations! From the surroundings of Cape Town to the vineyards of Wellington, each meter of the trip was well prepared, tailor made and challenging for every participant. Single trails, rock gardens and magnificent views alternated with top notch venues for the night, exquisite wine tastings and welcoming restaurants. Patrick is that kind of a guide that you will never forget! And that is for one reason, that he enjoys the trails as much as his guests! Thanks you Patrick for the amazing journey!!! Highly recommended! (And for any avoidance of doubt, not sponsored)

Splendid views and single trails - 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 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!

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. 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.
