IImagine absorbing the beauty of the Western Cape on the back of a 3-wheeled motorcycle, otherwise known as a trike. All the driving is taken care of. It’s just you, the open road, the sky and vast landscapes around you. Cape Town Trike Tours offers just this.
Cape Town Trike Tours offers several routes that cover the Cape Winelands, the whale route, the West Coast, Cape Town city centre and the Cape Peninsula. You can also have a custom tour put together for you.
The Cape Point Tour takes you on a scenic ride from Camps Bay to Cape Point and back again. Along the way you’ll go through Hout Bay and over Chapman’s Peak, visit the endangered African penguin colony at Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town, see Fish Hoek, cross Boyes Drive and stop at the Rhodes Memorial.
The Hermanus Tour takes you to the Overberg via the N2. Ride through the coastal towns of Strand and Gordon’s Bay to Rooi Els, Kleinmond and Hermanus. You’ll return to Cape Town over the mountains via Houwhoek Pass and Sir Lowry’s Pass. This route is renowned for whale watching.
The Sunset Tour is for those who love romance. You’ll be collected from your place of residence for a ride through Cape Town, along Sea Point and Camps Bay and up to Signal Hill, where you’ll be served a bottle of sparkling wine and snacks.
The West Coast Tour follows Marine Drive through Melkbosstrand then moves on to the R27 to Langebaan and Club Mykonos on the coast. Malmesbury in the Swartland marks the point of return to Cape Town along the N7 freeway. Wide open skies, stark but striking landscapes and a majestic ocean will flank you on this ride.
The Winelands Tour takes you through the valleys of the Cape Winelands and on 2 wine tastings: 1 at Spier and 1 at Simonsig Wine Estate. Somerset West, Grabouw, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch are on this route. You will ride across Sir Lowry’s, Franschhoek and Helshoogte passes on this tour.
