Activity Description

Archery Adventure – Stellenbosch

Step into the world of ancient skill and precision with the Archery Adventure in the scenic surrounds of Stellenbosch. This exciting, interactive outdoor experience is perfect for first-time archers, families, friends, and team-building groups looking for something unique, challenging, and fun.

Your adventure begins with a relaxed introduction to traditional archery, where our friendly instructors will guide you through the basics of shooting a traditional recurve bow. You’ll learn proper stance, aim, draw technique, and shooting safety in a beautiful natural setting that enhances the immersive experience. No prior experience is needed – just a sense of adventure and a steady eye.

Once everyone is feeling confident with their bow, the real fun begins as you put your new skills to the test in two exciting archery games designed to challenge your accuracy and add a little friendly competition. These games could include “Balloon Pop,” where each archer tries to burst as many colourful balloons as possible, or the ever-popular “Target Race,” where archers must hit a sequence of targets in the shortest time. These games are designed to build excitement, boost confidence, and create lots of laughs along the way.

Next, the adventure shifts into a more advanced and visually striking experience – 3D archery shooting. Here, guests move through a short course featuring realistic, foam animal targets placed at different angles and distances. It’s as close to traditional hunting-style archery as you can get, and adds an extra layer of skill and fun. You’ll feel like a true archer tracking prey through the wild!

To end off the session, we introduce you to the traditional challenge of clout archery – a medieval-style long-distance game where you shoot high into the air, aiming to land your arrow as close as possible to a flag or target placed flat on the ground far away. It’s a thrilling way to test your technique and accuracy over distance, and an impressive finish to an action-packed session.

Whether you’re channeling your inner Robin Hood or simply trying something new, the Archery Adventure in Stellenbosch is a fantastic way to connect with nature, learn a traditional skill, and enjoy quality time with others in the beautiful Winelands. All equipment is provided.

Customer Reviews

Thank you very much, the guys absolutely loved the experience. They complimented the instructor on his teaching and they had fun. Thank very much - Mr Mortan Jacobs & Mr Calvin Golden


It was fun to try something new and Mario was a very good and patient teacher. There was no pressure to get it perfect and we had some good laughs. - Karen Coetzee


We had an absolutely amazing archery experience! The instructor was exceptional patient, knowledgeable, and very clear in explaining everything from safety to proper technique. He made sure everyone understood how to handle the equipment correctly before we started, which gave us confidence right away. What made it even better was how fun he made the whole session. Once we all got the hang of it, he turned it into a friendly competition, splitting the four of us into two teams and wow, it was so much fun! Lots of laughter, excitement, and great energy throughout. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and we will definitely be doing it again. Highly recommended! - Cecilia


It was so much fun. We had a great guide! Would recommend it to anyone! - Shene


This our first time doing archery and the team was exceptional. They were super knowledgeable and friendly, and made the experience really fun for our group - will definitely be back! - Donovan Sutherland

What is an E-bike
E-Bikes make this anybody’s adventure as you can go further and explore more! E-Bikes are bicycles integrated with a motor and a battery that assists the cyclist and allows them to cycle further with less effort.

The Route
The route is non technical with the half of the route a dedicated bicycle lane and half of the route jeep tracks. The hike to the waterfall is also non technical.

Tour Description
We meet at Lanzerac Wine Estate where your Adventure starts. At the Trail Centre your guide will introduce you to your E-bike and issue you with your safety equipment.

You will cycle on a dedicated bicycle lane toward Jonkershoek Reserve and the view of the mountains becomes more spectacular as you do deeper into the valley. Once through the Jonkershoek gate we follow the Eerste River and you will enjoy a 360 degree view of majestic mountains.

Reaching the deepest part of the valley that allows bicycles we will start a 3.5 km hike to the first waterfall which is a great reward to reach.

Customer Reviews

The two couples thoroughly enjoyed their experiences ?? - Barbara Granger


The Bike and Hike Tour was a great experience. Louise our guide told us about flora and fauna of the Joenkershoek region. We learned about recent fires and discovered plants and animals throughout the hike. The waterfall was gorgeous and we had a little sein and picknick. It couldn't have been any better. We would love to come back and discover much more of this nature paradise. Thanks for this unforgettable day! - Christina Berger


What a fantastic experience and a beautiful day with the Vinebikes crew! Many thanks to our superstar guide Louise. She was able to pivot when Steve informed her at the last minute he was unable to cycle (due to back pain). Without hesitation, Louise made it her priority to coordinate an alternate plan, ensuring he could meet us at Jonkershoek and hike along with us at his own pace. Louise is a wealth of information regarding the history, flora and fauna of the region. We were impressed by her experience and easy going nature throughout the tour. As an added bonus we were joined by Charl, a social media and photography expert on a 'work mission' to capture some great shots. We enjoyed the beauty of the surroundings and interesting discussions from a very capable team. The bikes are top notch and well fitted. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves moderate activity and adventure. Thank you! - Catherine Taylor

A fantastic morning exploring the beauty of Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. Louise was an expert guide, and set a perfect pace for the biking and hiking. As someone who doesn't do much physical activity, I was nervous for the day but it ended up being perfect. I would recommend stretching before you begin though! Louise was also a fountain of knowledge and shared a lot of advice on other trails available in and around the area too. A great experience which I'll definitely be back for! - Daniel Hart

Customer Reviews

It was a fun experience, the 2 guides were excellent, funny and patient. I have done the Franschoek route and preferred it to this one as I found this to be quite steep and daunting if you were doing it for the first time (as per my family). Also didn't like doing it once then going through it again prefer to go from point A to point B ... But it was fun and would definitely recommend it. Thank you also for being so accommodating with switching dates. - Cara Katz


Our experience on the Scootours was amazing. We enjoyed it very much. Our guides were also very professional and helpful. - IIsé Nortjé
