Table Mountain is one of South Africa’s most emblematic sites and is considered one of the Seven Wonders of Nature. The towering mountain rises up around the city, its distinct stretch of flatness dominating Cape Town’s skyline, offering a magnetic pull to its summit. From the top of Table Mountain, on a clear day, you will have an incredible view of Cape Town, the ocean beyond, Robben Island, Lion’s Head, and many other landmarks! There is truly no better way to get to know Cape Town than by immersing yourself in the idyllic environment of Table Mountain National Park during this hiking and abseiling adventure on Table Mountain!

To begin your unique experience on Table Mountain, you will meet your guides by the Platteklip Gorge trailhead near the lower cable way. From there, you will then begin the hike, ascending through the dramatic and rocky cliffside of Platteklip Gorge to take in the stunning views of Cape Town and beyond. Once you reach the top, it is time to get equipped with your abseiling gear and, after a thorough safety briefing, rappel down a total height of 112 meters! With nothing below you but the city of Cape Town, the Atlantic ocean, and the wind at your back, you are in for the thrill of a lifetime! The qualified guides at Cape Town Abseil will make sure you are properly harnessed, roped in, attached, and confident in your abilities before you begin abseiling so that you can rest assured of your safety on the mountain. No previous rappelling experience is necessary to participate in this activity.

After the excitement of rappelling down a cliff, you will then get to embark on a peaceful and short hike back up to the summit of Table Mountain! The hike itself will give you more incredible views over Cape Town and Table Mountain National Park, with the best views of all at the top. Once you are back at the top, the activity will end, and you can take your time to enjoy the summit of Table Mountain at your leisure before going back down via cable car.
