African Eagle Daytours · Chapman's Peak and the reserve

Cape Point by e-bike

A guided day on electric bikes through the Cape of Good Hope section of the park, with Chapman's Peak as the headline ride and the lighthouse on foot. Pick it to be outside rather than behind glass: it's also the only tour here with the park entrance in the price.

Cape Point E-Bike Adventure

About this experience

African Eagle Daytours picks you up in the City Centre and hands you an e-bike, helmet and water bottle. The listing calls the ride along Chapman's Peak the highlight, and it's easy to see why: the cliff road is far better on a bike than through a van window. You carry on to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, walk up to the lighthouse, stop for lunch at a local restaurant, then head back north via Muizenberg and Constantia. Boulders is an optional stop at extra cost.

This is the one listing that puts the Cape Point Nature Reserve entrance fee in the price. From 1 November 2026 that's worth R592 per international adult (SANParks 2026/27 fee card), so the gap with the $40-$46 van tours is smaller than it looks. If you add Boulders you pay R282 on the day. The tour runs in English, French and Portuguese.

One contradiction to know. The Includes list names lunch, and the description says lunch is not included. Bring money for a meal and you are covered either way. Riders must be at least 150 cm tall. The battery does the hard work, but you still need to be steady on a bike on a road with traffic and wind. Budget $149 plus lunch, and about $17 more if you want the penguins.

Tips before you book

  • Bring cash or a card for lunch. The listing says both included and not included.
  • Wear layers and sunglasses. Wind and glare are strong on Chapman's Peak and at the capes.
  • Sunscreen matters more on a bike. There's little shade in the reserve.
  • Decide on Boulders in advance and have R282 ready if you want it.
  • Watch your bag at the stops. Baboons raid open bikes and baskets.
