Cycling Cape of Good Hope

Noordhoek Farm Village

Depart your hotel in the early morning and travel along the spectacular Atlantic Seaboard, past Hout Bay Harbour and via the picturesque Chapmans Peak Drive to the Noordhoek Farm Village. Renowned for long white sandy beaches, vast wetlands and ancient milkwood forests, Noordhoek epitomizes a relaxed, unhurried lifestyle that is sought after by many environmentalists and artists, so do not be surprised if you stumble upon horses, cows, pigs, hens, ducks and rabbits roaming the gardens and open public spaces. Here you will enjoy some light refreshments to energise you for your visit to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.

Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve

Upon arrival at the reserve, you will have the opportunity to cycle along the winding road to the historical landmark of Cape Point, the most south-western tip of the African Continent (weather permitting). The reserve is home to an array of natural South African fynbos and over 250 different species of birds, buck, baboons as well as Cape Mountain Zebra. Continue to enjoy the views from the Cape Point Lighthouse before travelling on to the historic Simons Town.

Simons Town

Stop in Simon's Town - an historic naval village with charming Victorian architecture - where you will enjoy a delicious lunch before you continue on to the secluded Boulders Beach. Boulders Beach is home to a large colony of protected African Penguins and offers wooden walkways so that you may observe these delightful little creatures in their natural habitat without invading their space. Afterwards, stop at a lovely semi-private beach (time and time permitting) for a quick dip in the ocean before returning to Cape Town in the late afternoon. The tour ends with drop off at your hotel.
