Gear up and explore the Cape with Cape Sidecar Adventures

Cape Sidecar Adventures

If you are looking for something different to do in Cape Town, the Cape Sidecar Adventures is definitely it.

Touring Cape Town from a bus or car is ok, but having 360˚ views and the wind in your hair as you immerse yourself in the smells, sights and sounds of the region makes the sidecar tours a different experience altogether.

You will also find the Cape Sidecar Adventures drivers and staff welcoming, very professional and knowledgeable as tour guides. Your safety is of paramount importance and you will be provided with riding gear (leather jackets, helmets, goggles); complimentary bandanas, fuel and insurance. Read more here…

Cape Sidecar Adventures tours and trips

Cape Sidecar Adventures has several fun packages and tours available. The West Coast Experience will take you from the City/V&A Waterfront areas up to Bloubergstrand via Table Bay harbour & the suburb of Milnerton. Of course, there are stops for photos along the way before a coffee stop and the journey back to the Mother City.

The Atlantic Seaboard + Chapmans Peak Drive is also a must-try. This one takes you along the Atlantic Seaboard to Chapman’s Peak Drive lookout via Camps Bay and Hout Bay. You return to the city/Waterfront via Constantia Nek, Rhodes Drive, Southern Suburbs and Rhodes Memorial.

Their City and Surrounds Scenic Tour is also popular. This trip takes you on a discovery of Cape Town inner city (the Castle, City Hall, Company Gardens, Bo Kaap district, Signal Hill) and the Atlantic Seaboard (to Camps Bay) before returning to the City. The three tours above are two-hours long.

The 4-hour (Half Day) tour is designed for those with a bit more time to see the Mother City on a leisurely pace.

Reviews from people who have used Cape Sidecar Adventures

“Tim was very knowledgeable and a great guide. Ride was heaps of fun, particularly shared with his dog in sunglasses, which got plenty of attention. Recommended!” wrote Barry J on their TripAdvisor page.

“This is a must! I highly recommend doing this. It was one of the funniest things I’ve ever done! Period! I’ve travelled all over the world and this was a blast. I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling the whole time. We did wineries and the penguins. The wineries were the most beautiful I’ve ever seen! Bradley was our driver and we loved him! He made us feel comfortable, safe, and he is such a wonderful guy!” added Jessica H.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
