Hiking Tours are a top Cape Town Activity   Cape Town Cycling Tours are growing in popularity   Cape Town Beaches are bursting with activity

Cape Town is not a destination for couch potatoes. You’d be hard-pressed to find another city with such an abundance of affordable and accessible outdoor activities.

Add to that the mild Mediterranean climate and you have more than enough reasons to get out and explore the craggy mountains, rugged coastlines and thriving winelands of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Our 3 day Cape Town hiking tour will take you from the waterfront to the table top; this is the perfect tour for visitors wanting to explore Cape Town's cultural history while enjoying its natural beauty.

Getting active doesn't have to mean roughing it - far from it. Spend a morning cycling past mountain slopes carpeted with bottle-green vineyards, stopping at the shaded verandahs of Cape Dutch farmhouses to quench your thirst with award-winning wines. Our Stellenbosch Cycling Wine Tour will get your legs peddling in the sunshine, while your head daydreams its way through the winelands.

Explore the top of Table Mountain in style, pausing for picnics overlooking the city, and settling down for the night in a comfortable cottage surrounded by the Cape's unique fynbos (shrubby vegetation).

Then there are the beaches, too numerous to mention, and our oceans, a bit too cold for swimming but perfect for an afternoon on a sea kayak.

Even within the city itself, the best discoveries are made on foot. Step out of the sterile, air-conditioned minibus and wander the cobbled streets of Bo Kaap, where the air is rich with the scents of spices and sounds of amuezzin calling people to prayer.

So don't just whiz past; snapping a photo or two at viewpoints before piling back on the bus. Instead take the time to really experience some of what the Mother City has to offer.
