What you can expect

Join a guided hike up Table Mountain via Platteklip Gorge, the most direct route to the summit of one of Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks. This experience is ideal for active travellers who want the reward of reaching the top on foot, with the support, safety, and local insight of a qualified guide.

The hike is challenging and uphill throughout, but your guide will set a manageable pace with time to pause, catch your breath, and enjoy the views. Along the way, learn about Table Mountain’s unique plant life, geology, history, and significance to Cape Town.

As you climb higher, the views open up over the city, Table Bay, the Atlantic coastline, and Robben Island. Reaching the top is a real achievement and one of the most memorable outdoor experiences in Cape Town.

After time on the summit, descend by cable car if it is operating. If the cable car is closed due to weather or maintenance, the guide will hike back down with the group. Cable car will be closed 27 July - 09 August 2026.

This tour is best suited to guests with a good general fitness level who want a rewarding mountain experience with personal guidance and a small-group feel.
