This was a huge buzz. You abseil down a sheer rock face from the top of Table Mountain for about 40-50m then hit the ‘surprise’ that is next level scary for the next 80m or so. What a great adventure and rush. The staff were great and quite professional. You must do this

Was cancelled due to weather but never refunded

Brandon_F, Nov 2025

I received an email the morning of saying the tour was canceled and they gave me the opportunity reschedule. Since I was there on a cruise, I couldn’t reschedule and asks if I could just get a refund instead. They never replied so I emailed again at the end of the day and still no response. I’m going to have to go through viator now to get a refund since there has been no communication from their end.

Very short but great...

Very short but great experience. You need to make it up to the table mountains and basically btheyabre just their making it happen. They set you up and hold your stuff then you are off the mountain. They get a few great photos then you fly down. After that you are on a self hike back up to collect your stuff. Overall great experience and great team. Highly recommended.

Had the best time with my family. The instructors were friendly and helped us with all the questions we had. The views from the top are truly remarkable. Also shout out to Lonwabo, who hiked up with us and was very patient.

What a great experience. The team is very good at making you feel safe and comfortable while abseiling down table mountain. The ‘surprise’ was ultimately the cherry on the cake. If you want a thrilling adventure on table mountain I do recommend you do this.
