What an amazing experience! Cape Adventures guided us through some thrilling routes, carefully ramping up the challenge as we progressed. Philip was super helpful, sharing fantastic mountain biking tips that really boosted our skills.I not only became a more confident rider but also soaked in the breathtaking views of Jonkershoek Mountain. The blend of skill development and stunning scenery made this adventure truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Cape Adventures to anyone eager to challenge themselves and enjoy incredible landscapes!

A buddy and I recently organized a half day ride with Cape Adventures and it surpassed all our expectations. Our guide, Phillip, picked the perfect trail for our skill level and provided super helpful riding tips along the way. I would highly recommend Cape Adventures to anyone hoping to experience the great riding trails of Cape Town!

With Philip you have come to the right place. Good bikes, incredibly beautiful trails, reliable tour organization, great technical tips from Philip during the tour. Gladly again.->Addition: Was on the road with Philip for the second time today [Tokai tour] - what can I say? incredible. Philip is not only a great guide but also a good ride buddy who knows where to ride which trails and with whom - always keeping an eye on his customers. See you next time.

What an extraordinary experience. Out of this world scenery with extremely high quality mountain bikes and exceptional guiding. My friend and I did this together and we couldn't have been more impressed with the entire service. Philip was fast to communicate, answered questions comprehensively, and most importantly, challenged us to a level he knew was within our means. He provided technical pointers throughout the trip and diagnosed our skills rapidly to determine the best routes to keep us exhilarated but also safe. The mountain biking trails were well-marked and well-maintained. This was a super memorable trip and I would recommend Philip for any and all skill levels. He's a terrific guide as well as a wonderful person. What an amazing way to spend a day in Cape Town!

Had an amazing time seeing some of the best trails the Cape has to offer with Phil. We went out two different times and Phil customized the length and terrain to what I wanted to ride. He pushed the pace when I wanted to go faster and slowed when I needed that too. Overall a fantastic experience and wish I had time for a 3rd. I also appreciated using a high quality bike and him tuning up ahead of the ride!

I was on a business trip in Cape Town and schedule allowed for a quick MTB ride.Philip was able to arrange the ride and provide a good bike with very short notice.The ride with Philip at Tokai MTB Park was fantastic. Loved every pedal stroke to the top and all the trail features on the downs ... and of course the magnificent scenery.Would definitely recommend.

Philip was amazing. The attention to detail is incredible. From measuring your size relative to the MTB frame, to finding the best approach to an obstacle on the trail, Philip was extremely knowledgeable and exercised patience when the going got tough on the climb. Overall, it was a fantastic day of MTB in Tokai, Cape Town.

Philip Varen provided my wife and I an experience mountain biking in Oak Valley. His communication skills were ‘peak on’ as he ascertained an appropriate venue for us to experience the beauty of an area in an environment that was appropriately technical for participants of our age and experience. The equipment was excellent and his attention to the logistics created a great experience and at very good value. I wouldn’t hesitate to utilize his services in the future.
Fredrik Sondell
Fantastic experience. Fredrik took us on a wonderful downhill ride completely according to our own limitations. Professional bikes made the experience even better. I hope we get the chance to drive more days where we can challenge and experience even more fantastic views.

We recently went on a day trip with Philip at Cape Adventures to mountain bike in Jonkershoek, and it was an incredible experience. The trails offered a perfect mix of challenging uphills and thrilling downhill sections that made for an exhilarating ride. Philip was an outstanding guide, always ensuring that we were safe and having fun. His knowledge of the area and the trails was impressive, which added to the overall experience. The bikes he provided were top quality, making it easy to tackle the terrain. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for an exciting mountain biking adventure!
Matt Maguire
The experience that Philip provided was exceptional. From the bikes, the bike set-up, local trail knowledge, even the climbing felt easy with philip passing the time with interesting facts about the area. The downhill trails had enough for experienced and less-experienced mtb’ers. It was a great day, with some of the best riding I have done. Matt Maguire. Belfast, Northern Ireland

I went on a mountainbike trip to the Tokai region with Philip from Cape adventures.Philip is a very nice and skilled guide who knows a lot about mountainbiken in the Capetown region. Philip supplied me with a Trek Fuel Ex in very good condition. An ideal bike for these kind of trails. The Tokai trails where exciting and well maintained.If you are looking for an exciting MTB trip cape adventures is the place to be.

I do a fair bit of mountain biking in the UK. This was great - proper bikes, flowing downhills good pace, with some technical bits- and Philip was a great host. Recommended without hesitation.

Tis is just a brilliant tour. Philip is a good guy but an excellent guide. Maybe slow going but it was early in the morning 😜. I do advice to book a trip with him as you can choose several options from easy going to advanced levels. Next year i'll be back in the cape and we cheers on the brilliant wines 👌👌. And almost forget to mention the nice bikes he offers.

I had an amazing Mountain Biking Experience with Phillip. He knows the trails in Cape Town and can read your experience and guide you to the best trails that fits for you. He is interactive and very friendly. I recommend to any beginner and experienced biker who is not familiar with Cape Town and Winefarms trails

Tried both Tokai and Grabouw trails during our stay in SA/Cape Town. Fantastic scenery and both fun and challenging mountain biking.The bikes are awesome! The guiding and instructions I got was excellent! Helps you get the most out of your mountain biking.

Met up with Phillip for a great ride through the Tokai Forest in Cape Town. Bike rental was great (a new Trek) and he was able to provide some SPD pedals. All round great experience! Price was reasonable for a guided ride and bike rental.
