You swing a leg over an open trike at first light and the air immediately changes — salt and city give way to scrub, orchard scent and a road that climbs. The Du Toitskloof pass rises before you, its ridges of folded sandstone and shale pushing the sky, and the trike hums, exposing you to wind, birdsong and the smell of ripening fruit.
easy.
8 hours.
Minimal fitness required — ability to mount and dismount a low trike and tolerate a full day of exposure to wind is sufficient
Tours typically begin and end in Cape Town, with hotel or guesthouse pickup and drop-off included in many departures.
Yes — the trike is designed for passengers and the tour is marketed as suitable for all fitness levels, but you should be comfortable with open-air riding.
Lunch in Ceres is usually not included; the itinerary includes a stop where you can buy food at local cafes or farm stalls.
The route uses sealed motorways and mountain passes with well-maintained tarmac; expect twists and hairpins but no off-road sections.
Ceres was first settled in 1729 and developed through the 19th century as fruit farming expanded; Bainskloof Pass was engineered by Thomas Bain and opened in 1853.
The valley’s agriculture relies heavily on irrigation, so respect water resources and avoid littering; stick to roads and marked pullouts to minimize disturbance to river corridors.
