You will be met by our guide upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, from where you will be transferred to your accommodation. Time and weather permitting, we'll take you on a yacht excursion across Table Bay towards Milnerton Lighthouse. In the valley of Table Mountain, you'll gaze upon a startling sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. If the yacht trip isn't feasible, other options include a city walking or cycling tour. In the evening, we'll head out to a local restaurant, for what will be a festive occasion celebrating your arrival in Cape Town.

Following a sumptuous breakfast, we'll set out on an excursion up Table Mountain, which can either be ascended by aerial cable car or on foot. The hike is a great option for the adventurous who enjoy venturing up steep rocky climbs. Much of the hiking trail follows the line of the aerial car. Offering great views of Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, and the Atlantic Ocean and Camps Bay below, this 90-minute walk will take you past marshy frog breeding areas with some endemic vegetation. Once we reach the peak of Table Mountain, we meander along to Maclears Beacon, the highest point on the mountain. Descent by aerial car and prep for a 15-km bike ride, which will take you along an up-and-down gravel road down Tafelberg Road to the King's Blockhouse, from where you will descend down to Rhodes Memorial. Here you shall enjoy a well-deserved snack in the tea garden, where you can admire the view of the city before heading back.

After a hearty breakfast, you will set out on a 4/5 hour transfer excursion to the town of George, which is situated in the heart of the Garden Route. Enjoy lunch on arrival (at own cost), and then, with fresh legs, you'll take a spin up Montagu Pass, connecting George to the Klein Karoo. Climbing to a height of 600m, and riding a distance of 10km, you will reach the top of the pass, which affords unforgettable views of the Outeniqua. Dinner and overnight stay will be provided at a quaint guesthouse in the remote village of Herold.

Cycle through rolling hills, past sheep and ostrich farms in Klein Karoo. When you reach the lodge, you may bathe in the rock pools.

Today involves 20kms of cycling along farm roads which will take us as far as the R62 and towards Avontuur, through the scenic Prins Alfred Pass. After another uphill cycle, it’s freewheeling downhill past rocky outcrops, ancient indigenous vegetation and waterfalls into De Vlugt.

Today’s adventure is a leg-testing cycle to the top of Prins Alfred Pass, which starts early in the morning. Enjoy breath-taking mountain views which soon become lush and green as you pass through Knysna Forest. Lunch in Knysna.

After a leisurely breakfast, you will have some free time to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Garden Route. Optional activities you may choose from today include kayaking with dolphins, boat-based whale watching, hiking the Robberg Peninsula or visiting Monkeyland. You may choose to spurn these activities in favour of relaxing on one of the many beautiful beaches situated nearby.

After an early breakfast, you will venture once again into the Afro Montane forests of Knysna on a ride that will take you through Knysna Lagoon and Phantom Pass, which happens to be the first of the Seven Passes Road. Enjoy lunch then check-in to treetop cabins. The afternoon is yours to spend at your leisure; we recommend checking out some of the hiking trails on the property.

The last day of your mountain biking adventure will take you from Sedgefield back to George along the Seven Passes Road. Again, the surroundings are a sensual delight, with forests and farms stretching as far as the eye can see, as you make your way along the passes.

After breakfast, we will depart on a 5-hour shuttle transfer to Cape Town for onward travel options.
