The trip

A trip worth
booking a flight for.

The Cape Peninsula Technical is the sharpest trip we arrange: three to five days of the Peninsula's advanced singletrack, from Table Mountain's exposed ridgelines to Cape Point's coastal trails, based in the city.

It's built for riders who already know what they want: high-quality technical trail, committed descents, and the kind of views you only get from the Cape's coastal ridges. Not an e-bike trip; the networks here are mostly closed to them.

This is an example of the kind of trip a partner operator can run for you, not a fixed departure. The days above are a sample. Your written proposal sets out the exact trails, guides, lodging and price for your dates.
