2025 💋 Tour de Boland

Relaxed vibe, good service, lovely people, and great riding company…I have done more than ten tours with them already, and won’t stop coming back for more.

Absolutely wonderful experience, an incredible landscape and even more amazing people. If you are considering this at all go for it! Carinus went out of his way to make this as special a day as possible, and we could not have been happier to have the time on the bikes in this lovely place. Carinus is a wonderful person and host, took care of us incredibly well, and it was a pleasure to share the day together.

Great bike tour with amazing host(s). We rode to some wonderful places and had great conversation. Highly recommended!

Tour De Boland provided an unforgettable experience! The diverse group, scenic routes, and well-organized event created a unique camaraderie. Despite varying abilities, the ride was inclusive. The carefully chosen accommodations and charming towns enhanced the overall journey. A fantastic event for riders of all levels! 🚴‍♂️ #TourDeBoland”

I’ve ridden with Tour de Boland six times on various tours. I’ve done other multi-day stage tours around the Cape but none as enjoyable as TdB. The pace is relaxed and non-competitive and the company is great. I’ve met people who have become friends off the bike as well as on. The accommodation is top-notch – my favourite is the Hornbill in Hermanus – and we always eat well. My plant-based diet is catered for without (detectable) complaint. The whole experience is a lot of fun. Carinus is flexible and accommodating and the tours are well supported. You can jump in the support vehicle if you need a break and rejoin the group when you are ready. If you want to see the beautiful Cape from the saddle and experience some great cycling at a manageable pace, Tour de Boland tours are for you.

I have been on most of the Tours in March for several years now.

The size of the tour since inception have varied from as many as 40 to 7 cyclists on tour. The tours, people, cycle routes, destination accommodation have always been unique, affordable, and more than satisfying.

The Tour has never been a race, but dependant on your requirements Carinus has always managed to make it work for various needs.

We have always cycled in groups of different abilities and pace. Food stops, on route drinks and nourishment, back up vehicles and even massages (dependant on budgets) are always included.

The hospitality and destinations we have covered through the years have made me appreciate our beautiful country even more.

We are a special breed in RSA and seeing our glorious country by bicycle is simply special.

I simply love it 😊
