Heli-Mountain Biking in the Cape Winelands

Heli-Mountain Biking in the Cape Winelands
 

This high-adrenaline experience combines the thrill of a helicopter ride with the raw excitement of downhill mountain biking—offering access to remote trails and ridge lines you simply can’t reach any other way.

The journey starts in the sky, with sweeping aerial views of vineyards, mountain passes, and rolling farmlands as you’re flown deep into rugged terrain. Once dropped at a lofty starting point, the ride begins—fast, wild, and unforgettable. Expect technical descents, forested singletrack, rocky switchbacks, and open mountain paths that wind their way down into the valleys below.

This is not your average bike ride. It’s designed for adventurous riders with a solid level of fitness and experience on a mountain bike. Routes vary in difficulty, and expert guides are usually part of the package to lead the way and manage safety on the descent. You bring the energy; they bring the gear, guidance, and altitude.

Heli-biking in the Cape Winelands is more than just a thrill—it’s a way to explore the landscape from a rare and elevated perspective. It’s a full-sensory plunge into nature, powered by gravity, grit, and gears.

After the adrenaline fades, there’s always the option to wind down with a post-ride meal or a well-earned glass of local wine—because, after all, you’re still in the heart of the Winelands.
