OUTING – MOUNTAIN BIKING

Tokai Forest

There are several tracks that crisscross the Tokai arboretum and pine plantation, which are part of the Table Mountain National Park. You need to bring your own bike. There are longer rides with splendid panoramas and the short Faery Garden track through the forest which is great for beginners.

It is situated on the Tokai Road off the M3. Buy your day pass at the picnic side on your right hand before you reach the manor house.
