    Absolutely spectacular!

    This is a moderately difficult hike with some ladders and scrambling included. Patrick was a fantastic guide and incredibly knowledgeable. The views were breathtaking and it was well worth the effort.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m delighted you enjoyed the hike and found the challenge worthwhile. The ladders and scrambling definitely add some adventure, and I’m glad the breathtaking views made it all the more rewarding. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I’d be happy to welcome you back for another hike in Cape Town!
