Cape Town is a well-established cycling destination, hosting big international events such as the Pick n Pay Cape Argus Cycle Tour and the Absa Cape Epic, as well as providing a number of paved and off-road cycle routes.

The Green Mountain Trail offers nature lovers with a hunger for outdoor adventure, and fine food and wine, a chance to indulge in both, on a 4-day gourmet slack pack trail through the Cape Overberg mountains.

The Western Cape gets much bad press about its winter, and as a result, many outdoor enthusiasts avoid visiting between May and October, meaning they miss out on some great attractions like the whales and flowers, not to mention all the winter special offers.
