Local Stellenbosch Mountain Bike & Gravel Guide – Private, Personalised & Expert-Led

Discover Stellenbosch like never before with a private mountain bike or gravel ride expertly led by a local guide who knows every trail, viewpoint, and secret line hidden in the valleys and mountains surrounding this iconic wine region. Your guide is an experienced Stellenbosch rider with deep knowledge of the local terrain, allowing you to explore the best of Botmaskop, Jonkershoek, Banhoek, Eden, Mont Marie, Papegaaiberg, Helderberg, and the endless gravel networks that stretch all the way to Franschhoek, Paarl, Durbanville, and beyond.

Whether you’re a seasoned rider looking for fast, technical singletrack—or a relaxed explorer keen to enjoy scenic routes, flowing contour paths, vineyard trails, or quiet gravel roads—your guide builds the ride entirely around your ability, fitness, and riding style. This is a fully private, tailored experience, ensuring you get exactly the ride you want at a pace that feels right for you.

Stellenbosch offers some of the most diverse riding in South Africa, and your guide will help you make the most of it. Expect options ranging from pine-forest switchbacks and rocky mountain descents to smooth jeep tracks, fynbos-lined climbs, contour trails with sweeping views, hidden routes only locals know about, and lesser-known gravel loops perfect for adventure riders. With years of riding and route-building experience, your guide has a catalogue of “secret spots”—lookouts, forgotten descents, tucked-away ridgelines, natural features, and quiet backroads that don’t appear on standard trail maps.

Your guide will also handle all the logistics: planning the route, choosing the best trail network for the day’s conditions, and ensuring your ride is safe, enjoyable, and suited to your skill level. Whether you’re on a full-suspension MTB, hardtail, e-bike, or gravel bike, you’ll be matched with terrain that brings out the best of your equipment and comfort zone.

From high-intensity training rides to scenic wine-country adventures, sunrise missions, family-friendly outings, or technical singletrack explorations, this is the ideal way to experience Stellenbosch by bike—confidently and authentically, with a guide who understands the region from the inside out.

Ride where the locals ride. See what most visitors never find. And enjoy Stellenbosch’s world-class trails with someone who knows them best.
