Table Mountain Guided Day Hikes

 

DAY HIKES
Routes can be tailor-made to your hiking experience and preferences and we can take you hiking anywhere on the Peninsula, from Table Mountain, Kalk Bay Mountains / Caves, Muizenberg Peak or in the Silvermine area.
Here are some popular trails:

Tranquility Cracks: (+/- 5- 8Hours)
This includes hiking to Tranquility Cracks on the 12 Apostles (Camps Bay) side of the mountain which is a great spot to explore rock formations and where we will also have lunch. On this route we stop by where the Old Cableway used to be and we carry on hiking up through the Valley of Isolation (more beautiful rock formations) and up the backside of Table Mountain where we descend down the cableway. This hike is 7-8 hours of hiking.
We can do a shortened version where we do a circular route and it is only 5 hours of hiking if 7-8 seems like too much.

Kasteelspoort: (+/- 5 Hours) + Cableway fee
This is another hike up the 12 Apostles (Camps Bay) side of the mountain closer to the backside of Table Mountain. It is a pretty straight forward hike all the way to the Cable Car where we would descend down and taxi back to our car at the starting point. Time for this hike: +/- 5 hours

India Venster: (+/- 3 - 4 Hours) + Cableway fee
This is a hike on the front side of Table Mountain with beautiful views of the city below. I really enjoy this hike but it is only for those without a fear of heights as there are some parts with a bit of exposure. It is an adventurous hike with some rock scrambling (using your arms and legs to pull yourself up at times). It is not a hard hike but it does have a few parts where someone who is afraid of heights may have a problem.
It takes about 3-4 hours to get to the top where we would descend down the Cable Car.

Skeleton Gorge: (+/- 5 Hours) + entrance into Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens and Cableway Fee
This hike starts in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and ascends up Skeleton Gorge route through indigenous forest up to view the Hely-Hutchison dam up top and over to Maclears Beacon (the highest point on Table Mountain) and across to the Cable car where we would descend down. This route could also be made into a circular route and we could come back into Kirstenbosch rather than go down the cableway. The hike either way is about 5 hours.
