At AWOL Tours, we believe that Cape Town is best experienced on foot or by pedal power. But if you’re torn between booking a hiking tour or hopping on a bike, you’re not alone. Both offer unforgettable ways to connect with nature, culture, and community but each offers a very different kind of adventure.

So how do you choose? Let’s break it down:

Why Choose a Hiking Tour?

There’s something grounding about exploring a place on foot. AWOL’s hiking tours take you through iconic routes like Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, and even the Cederberg.

Best For:

  • Nature lovers who enjoy a slower pace
  • Photography enthusiasts
  • Intimate encounters with local flora and fauna

If you enjoy taking your time, reflecting along the way, this one’s for you.

Why Choose a Biking Tour?

Whether you’re weaving through Cape Town’s historic neighbourhoods or pedalling along the Cape Peninsula, biking lets you cover more ground while still feeling fully immersed.

Best For:

  • Active adventurers who love momentum
  • Guests of varying fitness levels as e-bike options are available.
  • Those looking to cover more ground and explore further.

If you like the wind in your hair, cycling might be your perfect match.

 

Still Can’t Decide? Why Not Both!

Why choose when you can combine the best of both worlds? Our custom tours can blend hiking and biking to suit your schedule, fitness level, and curiosity. Whether it’s a multi-day package or a day that starts with a summit and ends with a cycle, we’ll tailor the experience to you.
