Highlights

One of the most popular hikes on our beloved Table Mountain (platte klip in Afrikaans), name's after the flat rocks found on the route. The ‘stairway to heaven’ is the go-to route up Table Mountain for locals alike, although with 650 meters of elevation gained in less than 3 km it is no easy feat!
The world belongs to those who get up early. To be one of the few to witness the sunrise on Table Mountain is always special. You can’t beat watching the sunrise from the top of the world and Table Mountain is the closest you’ll get in Cape Town. We will hike up Table Mountain with head lamps to experience the thrill of being the few if not the only one hiking Table Mountain this early at dawn. Watch the light catch the Cape Town Stadium, while the rest of the city comes alive. When you’re so high up, even overcast days don’t matter, because you will be above the clouds. Stop off to grab some coffee at to top cable car station and back at your hotel still in time to catch breakfast!

Itinerary

  • Table Mountain

    3 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    The hike starts under the cable car and ascent to the contour path situated at the rock base of Table Mountain, certainly a good warm up! The contour path circles the slopes of Table Mountain, offering therefore stunning views of the city and the surrounding. The Platteklip gorge cuts through the front face of Table Mountain, the path zig-zags all the way up until it gets narrower and steeper. The final 150m is spectacular with huge rock walls on either side, narrowing to 4m. It is not to be trifled with, in other words it is a tough hike. Come with plenty of water, sunblock and appropriate footwear. To hike Platteklip Gorge is an unforgettable experience as you are treated with breath-taking views. It is best to hike at sunrise offering the best light for photos as well as a respite from the sun. Way down by cable car
