3 Day Moep to Sea Mountain Biking Tour

3 Day Moep to Sea Mountain Biking Tour

You will cycle from the top of Kasteelberg at Nigramoep Guest farm, down towards the sea, via the small diamond towns of Kleinzee and Port Nolloth in the (Northern Cape).

You will see the vegetation change from abundance of plants to almost desert. You will cycle past old diamond mines and an area that looks like the Kalahari. The road surfaces are hard, jeep tracks or gravel and there is no sand paths. You will cycle where not a lot of people have even driven with a vehicle. And you will see places that the locals don’t even know about.

You will stay at amazing lodges each night; it almost feels unreal to see these beautiful places in such a desolated area. Day 1 will be mainly downhill with more than 1300 meter of descent. But the last day will be almost 1000 meter of ascent back to Nigramoep Guest farm. This is not for beginners, but it is also not a technical ride as longs as you can do the distance each day. We advise you to do it with an E-Bike if you are 65 and older or just not fit enough to do the distance.

This is not a tour to be missed!
