What you can expect

Choose to begin your experience with a convenient pickup from your accommodation or make your way to the starting point. Meet up with your professional mountain guide and begin your ascent.

Move at a steady pace, hiking, scrambling, and climbing along a steep trail as you make your way to the summit, 669 meters above sea level.

Once at the top, take in sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, including the city of Cape Town, Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles, and much more.

Choose the sunrise hike to begin your tour while it's still dark. Use the flashlights provided to light your way as you climb up the mountain, reaching the summit in time to watch as the sun comes up, bathing everything it touches in a golden glow.

Alternatively, you can opt to hike the trail at the end of the day. Reach the summit before sunset and then drop down to a lower section that's less crowded. Watch as the sun dips below the horizon before making your way back to the starting point.
