AWOL Tours founding director Sally Petersen invites you to join her on the inaugural launch of the scheduled Garden Route Gravel Biking Tour from the 14th to 26th October 2025.

Choose between two options on either a 6 or 12 unforgettable days, where you’ll ride some of South Africa’s most spectacular cycling routes and historic mountain passes, blending coastal beauty, forest trails, historic mountain passes, and wildlife encounters in Addo Elephant National Park.

The 6-day Cape Town to Addo sampler traces the dramatic Atlantic coastline, winds through the lush Knysna forests, and explores the wild Tsitsikamma coast before culminating in an unforgettable safari at Addo Elephant National Park. You’ll cycle historic routes like the
Seven Passes, visit vibrant Plettenberg Bay, and relax each night in handpicked,comfortable lodges.

The return 6- day journey from Addo to Cape Town option extends into the rugged Little Karoo. You’ll conquer the legendary Swartberg Pass, explore the otherworldly Cango Caves, wind through the sandstone Seweweekspoort gorges, and end with a celebratory wine tasting in Bonnievale before returning to Cape Town.

For the ultimate journey, combine both itineraries on an 12-day epic cycling adventure that combines daily supported rides with rich cultural and natural experiences — from braais under the stars to optional Robberg hikes, vintage car sunset drives, and game drives where you might spot the Big Five. With distances tailored for capable cyclists and a full support crew handling luggage, mechanicals, and snacks, you can simply focus on the ride.

Special Launch Offer: Book the first departure and save 10%, riding alongside Sally — hearing first-hand stories from two decades of pioneering cycling tours in South Africa. Spaces are limited to just 12 guests for this inaugural journey. Secure your spot now and be part of AWOL Tours history.
