Cape Peninsula E‑Bike Day Tour: Cape Point, Boulders Beach & Chapman’s Peak
Pedal, coast and hop in the support vehicle on a private e-bike tour of the Cape Peninsula. See Chapman's Peak, penguins at Boulders Beach, and the Cape of Good Hope all in a single, guided day trip.
The Experience
Before You Go
Use the backup vehicle when needed
The tour includes an air‑conditioned support vehicle — jump in for strong headwinds or steep climbs to conserve energy for viewpoints.
Respect penguin boardwalk rules
At Boulders Beach stay on designated walkways and keep distance; do not feed or touch wildlife to avoid disturbance and fines.
Layer for wind and sun
Coastal winds can be cold even on sunny days — pack a light windbreaker plus sunscreen to handle temperature swings.
Hydrate and pace yourself
E-bikes assist power but don’t remove fatigue; drink regularly and communicate with the guide about desired ride intensity.
