Whether you want to crank uphill on your mountain bike, ride on horseback through acres of fynbos, paddle down a river or explore the orchards on a Segway, the Elgin Valley has an adventure activity for you.
To end the day Elgin-style, fill a picnic basket with chilled wine, freshly baked bread and local delicacies from a farm stall and spread your picnic blanket under an apple tree.
