Overview

Enjoy a private hiking tour of Cape Town's 3,558-foot-tall (1,084m) Table Mountain. Choose between two options: ride the rotating cable car atop the mountain for 360-degree views, then spend a couple of hours wandering the plateau's winding paths—passing among reed-like restios and flowering proteas along the way. Or opt for a more strenuous, 5-hour option: a climb up the mountainside, stopping for exquisite ocean views and a picnic lunch. A nature guide will accompany you on both routes, pointing out Table Mountain's flora and fauna—including adorable rock hyrax—en route.

Great guide. Definitely would recommend this hike. Got to see different parts of the mountain besides the tourist spot.

This is a great opportunity to climb Table Mountain. Unfortunately, the cable car was closed due to high winds on the day we booked - our guide, Jeremy, did offer to change the date but this was the only opportunity we had to do a hike. We ended up climbing some distance and then hiking along the contour path past the gorge before going a little way further and then descending. While we were happy to climb up and go down by cable car I thought doing both ways would have been a bit much especially as the track is pretty steep involves a little bit of scrambling and uneven paths. Jeremy was a great guide - helpful and informative. He knew the area really well. Highly recommended.

Thankfully our guide encouraged us to hike Loin's Head instead of rescheduling our Table Mountain hike due to bad weather!! Loin's Head was amazing. The 360 degree view was gorgeous. If you are scared of heights like I am, you would never make it up Table Mountain. I even had to stop before the top of Loin's Head. Dasha and my husband did make it to the top. His photos are beautiful. This tour information should warn you about height and climbing difficulty. You need to be in good shape for this one. Packed lunch was good and Dasha was very informative. She even took us to Atlas Spice shop. Quite the spice treasure.

We had the best guide! Jeremy and Danielle were knowledgeable, had great sense of humor and well edcuated regarding the history of SA, the fauna, the trails. They offered us modest challenges in our hike which was tough but well enjoyed.
