Full day Ceres and Bainskloof trike tour.

Travelling on a trike means that you are part of the environment in which you are riding. You get to see and smell all that nature offers unlike sitting in a stuffy bus with strangers which only offers you a partial view of the area that you are travelling through.

This is a very scenic tour starting in Cape Town. We'll travel down the N1 up and over the Du Toits Kloof pass with a photo stop and a chance to admire the stunning scenery from the top of this mountain pass. From here it’s down to Rawsonville where we'll turn off to Slanghoek riding through the amazingly beautiful Slanghoek valley. From there it's to Wolseley and Ceres where we’ll stop for something to eat. The return trip will take us over the magnificent and historic Bains Kloof pass to the quaint town of Wellington for a drink stop. From here we’ll make our way back home via the historic town of Paarl and the N1 motorway where we will have to unfortunately say good bye to each other at your hotel or guesthouse.

Stop At: Bainskloof Pass, South Africa

In 1854, Bain’s Kloof Pass – an engineering masterpiece designed and constructed by Scotsman Andrew Geddes Bain – providing access to the hinterland beyond the mountains, became the official ‘Gateway to the North’, over which countless wagons creaked their way to the diamond and gold fields.

A National Monument, the magnificent Pass remains a well-travelled attraction and offers unsurpassed vistas, indigenous and unique flora and fauna, crystal-clear rock pools, camp sites and hiking trails.

Bainskloof Pass lies on the R301 regional road between Wellington. The 18 kilometres pass, opened in 1854, was constructed with the use of convict labour. Originally built for horse-drawn traffic, the pass was later tarred.

The pass reaches 594 metres (1,949 feet) at its highest point. Here, the road joins the Witte River, which descends the northern side of the mountains through a precipitous cleft to a stretch of rapids, waterfalls and natural pools.

This is a stunning road to travel by trike.
