Discover Cape Town’s most iconic landmarks on a guided hike up Table Mountain or Lion’s Head. Led by a qualified local guide, this adventure combines safety, breathtaking views, and unforgettable stories.

Choose your route: conquer Platteklip Gorge for a direct climb, scramble the adventurous India Venster, wander through lush forests on Skeleton Gorge, or follow the scenic Kasteelspoort with its famous “Diving Board” rock. For something shorter but equally spectacular, hike Lion’s Head at sunrise or sunset and enjoy panoramic views of Cape Town, Table Mountain, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Along the way, your guide shares insider knowledge about the mountain’s 600-million-year-old geology, its rich cultural history, and the unique flora and fauna of the Cape Floral Kingdom — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spot colorful proteas, rare birds, and even the occasional dassie as you ascend.

At the summit, soak in views that stretch across Robben Island, False Bay, and the Twelve Apostles. Descend via the Table Mountain cable car (weather permitting, ticket separate) or hike safely back down with your guide.

Whether you’re chasing adventure, culture, or incredible photos, this experience offers the best of Cape Town’s natural wonders. Book your Table Mountain or Lion’s Head guided hike today and let us make your time in Cape Town unforgettable.

Routes are carefully selected based on weather conditions, group ability, and safety considerations. Hikes and start times may be altered or adjusted to avoid adverse weather conditions, particularly strong winds or cable car closures. Any such changes will be communicated to the primary booker via GetYourGuide messages or WhatsApp no later than 10:00 pm on the day before the hike.

For group bookings, it is the responsibility of the primary booker to relay this information to all participants. Our priority is always the safety and enjoyment of everyone on the mountain.
