Description

Begin your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup or by meeting your friendly, registered mountain guide at the trailhead. Set off on a steady-paced hike, weaving your way up the rocky trail with short sections of scrambling and climbing. At the summit, be rewarded with 360° panoramic views—from the Atlantic coastline and the city skyline to Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles. Choose your moment: - Sunrise hike: Begin in darkness with flashlights provided, then watch the world awaken as the sun paints the horizon gold. - Sunset hike: Ascend in the late afternoon, reaching the top just in time to see the sun dip below the ocean. Afterward, descend to a quieter spot where you’ll enjoy a magical stargazing session as the first stars appear. Throughout the journey, your guide will share insider knowledge about the mountain, Cape Town’s history, and the unique flora and fauna you’ll encounter. Whether you’re an adventurer chasing the sunrise, a romantic couple seeking a sunset moment, or a photographer after the perfect shot, this experience is designed to create memories that last a lifetime.
