Another bonus is the shade cover and, to a certain extent, wind protection afforded by the pines. With about 500 mountain bikers accessing the forest each weekend, it’s a good place to meet other riders. The Tokai Forest Arboretum is a national monument with a variety of tree species. Since 1993 a section of the upper forest has been made available to mountain-bikers, with spectacular Tokai Forest mountain biking trails. We cycle the trails of the Constantia berg Mountains with stunning views across the Southern Suburbs to The Hottentots Holland Mountains and beyond.
