Full description
Hike through Platteklip Gorge on the shortest route to the top of Table Mountain. Take in the sweeping views of the Cape Town area from the top. It should take around 2 hours to hike up.
The trail begins just past the lower cableway station on Tafelberg Road. This was the first route that explorers used to summit the mountain, way before the cableway was built.
Enjoy panoramic views from the path to the top. This is definitely the best way for those who do not like heights and climbing to conquer the mountain.
There is an option of taking the cable car down (additional fee).

Absolutely amazing!
I could not recommend this highly enough. As a solo traveller in Cape Town I wanted an experience that made me feel safe with someone who really knew the area - and Stuart was the perfect person for the job! I underestimated the climb - but was damn proud at the end of completing it and Stuart could not have been more encouraging. The only way to see Table Mountain in it's full glory in my opinion!

Very satisfactory
Me and my family booked the guider hike the night before, and had planned it thoroughly with our guide the same evening. The process was easy and there were no lack of information, both in terms of practical information and location. We were picked up by are guide and driven to the hotel afterwards. During the hike, some of us especially enjoyed learning about the various types of flowers and birds that we encountered. In addition, the guide was very friendly and patient! We had a good time.

Very well guided tour with ideal pace and nature-interested guide
Walking pace and the introduction of flora and fauna ideally fulfilled. Safety deficiency is the lack of wearing a helmet in the event of a possible impact.
