Outdoor Activities in Cape Town

Enjoy a private hiking tour of Cape Town's 3,558-foot-tall (1,084m) Table Mountain. Choose between two options: ride the rotating cable car atop the mountain for 360-degree views, then spend a couple of hours wandering the plateau's winding paths - passing among reed-like restios and flowering proteas along the way. Or opt for a more strenuous, 5-hour option: a climb up the mountainside, stopping for exquisite ocean views and a picnic lunch. A nature guide will accompany you on both routes, pointing out Table Mountain's flora and fauna - including adorable rock hyrax - en route.
