A really fun day
We had an amazing day down on the Cape with Andy. Stopped on the way down to see penguins and dassies who were both super cute. Got to Cape Point well ahead of all the big buses which reduced wait times significantly. Saw baboons, ostrich, eland and a tortoise on your riding in the park which a nice mix of quiet roads and some dirt tracks. Was so much fun cycling through this beautiful scenery. Lunch in Scarbough was yummy - can recommend Whole Earth Cafe - the burger was sensational and my wife couldn’t finish the Whole Bowl (she had no dinner given how big it was). Great shakes and coffee as well. Beautiful views as we continued up the coast and over Chapman’s Peak and around Hout Bay. Andy provides great info through the tour and always able to answer our questions. It’s a little pricey as as a Tour but when you take all the entrance fees and bike use into account, it’s fair for a full day/8 hour private tour.

AWOL/Bradley and the whole experience was fantastic!!
AWOL was fantastic. The booking experience was so smooth. Everything went exactly as scheduled and BRADLEY, the tour guide, was outstanding in every way.

Tour of botanical gardens, boulder beach and cape point
We did a tour of the botanical gardens, boulder beach to see the penguins and ended with a drive to cape point and it was great! Thomas was a great guide and was a delight to have. He was there when we needed him and then also let us do exploring on our own which we loved. Cape point is so beautiful and he was great and giving us some of the rich history behind things. He is a very knowledgeable tour guide and you’d be lucky to have him.
Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting Cape Town . We are grateful that you chose AWOL Tours , to show you around the beautiful Kirstenbosh Gardens and Cape Point Nature Reserve, as well your visit to Boulders Beach to see the endangered penguins. We look forward to welcoming you back again - please tell your friends and family about us at AWOL Tours - and the beautiful cycling and hiking adventures that we can arrange .

Bueatiful views and a wonderful guide
Awesome. We first drove to Boulder Beach and were able to watch the release of penguins from a rescue group. During the drive to Cape Point, there were great vistas. We rode the bike from the points parking lot to the park exit but elected not to ride on the rode outside of the park. We had a delicious lunch at the Whole Earth Cafe and amazing views the rest of the way back to Cape Town. We enjoyed our guide Bradley. We learned a lot about the area and it's history.
Response from the operator: Dear Tam D, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience on the AWOL Tours full-day Cape Point Cycle Tour. We are delighted that your day included such special highlights — from witnessing the penguin release at Boulders Beach to enjoying the scenic cycle through the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Our private tours are designed to be flexible, allowing guests to enjoy the day at their own pace, with as much (or as little) cycling as they prefer. The full-day Cape Peninsula tour offers a variety of cycling options suitable for all levels, with a support vehicle always close at hand. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the lunch stop at Whole Earth Café and the spectacular views on the return to Cape Town. We’re especially pleased that your guide, Bradley, made the day memorable with his knowledge and insights into the history of the area. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we thank you for sharing your beautiful photos of your AWOL experience. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future. Kind regards, Helen for AWOL Tours

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town cost?
+
Prices start at $318 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Cycling Tour to Cape Point from Cape Town start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Day Tour from Cape Town. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
