Cliff was the perfect guide. He knew all about the history of Capetown and Tablemountain. He told us about the fauna and flora, he showed us the nicest photo places, he was wel prepared for everything (even for the unexpected rain).

Full description

Get back to nature and marvel at the flora and fauna of Table Mountain on a half-day hike with a qualified mountain guide. Trek at your own pace and in complete safety as you learn the cultural history of Cape Town and its natural surroundings.

India Venster Half-Day Hike:
Get breathtaking views of the city and rock formations of the west coast, and look across at Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. The hike will take 3-4 hours to reach the top.

Platteklip Gorge Half-Day Hike:
Hike one of the most popular paths for stunning views of Lions Head, Signal hill, Devils Peak, Robben Island and more. It is a strenuous, but safe, hike that takes 2 to 3 hours to reach the top.

Lions Head Half-Day Hike:
Join this great walk for families to get panoramic views from 670 meters above sea level. Look down as the stunning beaches of Camps Bay and Sea Point. Take the adventurous path using staples and chains or the easier route if you prefer.
