Lion’s Head Sunrise Hike
The sunrise hike of Lion's Head was a genuinely unique and amazing experience! Our guide, Idrees, was both friendly and knowledgeable about the mountain, local wildlife and botanicals, and Cape Town history and culture. If you can get your booking with him, you should do so hands down. The hike was definitely a physical challenge, so it should not be undertaken by the faint of heart. But the rewards are well worth the effort!

Great hike with Yvette
Amazing hike up the Lion’s Head at sunset. Yvette was a great guide. She told us about the city and the flora, brought snacks and tea, and got us back to the bottom right at dark.

The Lion’s head hike was sensational
Codi was an amazing guide helping us explore the terrain of lion’s head at sunset. I am physically fit with a slight fear of heights. Codi was very supportive and helped me reach heights I have never hiked before. While I was uneasy as we were reaching the top, Codi accompanied down to lower ground where I was able to comfortably watch the sunset and hike back down easily.

Idrees is an excellent guide — kind, thoughtful, and with a strong sense of safety that makes the journey feel secure and enjoyable.The hike is demanding, with sections that require climbing ladders and using chains. It’s adventurous and pushes you out of your comfort zone in the best way. Reaching the top is absolutely worth it — the panoramic view is breathtaking and unforgettable. Definitely a must-do for those who enjoy a mix of challenge, adventure, and stunning scenery.

I really enjoyed this small group hike up Lion’s Head with Miguel. There were some challenging stretches of the hike, but he really helped guide us and we all made it up to the top and back down safely. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for amazing sunset views of Cape Town.

Great hike. Equally as good as the table mountain hike. Very nice morning with guide Jean who told us lots about living in Cape Town and South Africa.

Had a lovely sunrise hike with Andy. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We were the first to make it to the top and had prime seats for the majestic sunrise. Absolutely breathtaking. Would recommend it to anyone looking for some adventure in CPT. Worth the early wake up!
