Azure blue seas and spectacular mountains on our Crystal Pools Bicycle tour.

Our Crystal Pools Bicycle tour is the Cape’s best kept secret. Only an hours drive from Cape Town, Gordons Bay is the quaint village for the start on our Crystal Pools Bicycle tour. We cycle along Clarens Drive, voted one of the most scenic roads in the world, between azure blue seas and the mountains. We may be lucky on our Crystal pools Bicycle tour to spot whales and dolphins frolicking in the ocean next to us.

Stopping at the famous Pitstop Cafe, we leave our bikes and set out on foot to the famous Crystal Pools hiking trail. This 4km trail winds it’s way up the Crystal Pools gorge and ends in a spectacular waterfall. We stop on route to swim in the cool pristine pools while enjoying the explosion of nature that surrounds us. Part of the Kogelberg Biosphere, a world heritage site, the Crystal Pools is home to the indigenous fauna and flora endemic to the Western Cape. Perhaps we get to spot the elusive Cape Leopard on our adventure.

After a relaxing swim in the Crystal Pools and some scenic photos of the waterfall we head back to the unique Pitstop for a delicious meal. Appetites fulfilled, we have the option of hopping back onto the bikes for our leisurely bike back to Gordons Bay.
