Daytrippers – Mountain Biking in Cape Town

Daytrippers is a family-run operator built by passionate cyclists who have lived and breathed the sport for decades, completing demanding races like the ABSA Cape Epic and other world-class endurance events. With this depth of experience, we understand the needs of mountain bikers and design tours that let you keep up your favourite sport while travelling.

Cape Town is a mountain biking paradise, with a national park encircling the city and an abundance of trails right on the doorstep. The lower slopes of Table Mountain, Signal Hill, and the entire peninsula chain are laced with tracks ranging from easy dirt roads through quiet forests to rocky single track over sandstone ridges and winding paths through the region’s iconic fynbos vegetation. Every ride offers a mix of technical challenge and breathtaking scenery.

Just beyond the city, the Cape Winelands await. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are internationally recognised as mountain biking meccas, attracting professional cyclists from around the world. Trails here are found in pristine nature reserves and on wine estates, many of which boast purpose-built tracks created by expert trail builders.

With so many options available, Daytrippers helps you cut through the overwhelm to find the perfect ride for your skill level, fitness, and style. We’ll set you up with a well-suited bike, match the pace to your comfort, and guide you on anything from half-day rides to multi-day mountain biking tours through some of South Africa’s most spectacular landscapes.

Our guides are experienced riders, knowledgeable, and great company—ensuring your Cape Town mountain biking adventure is both challenging and deeply rewarding.
