What to expect

Starting from the Camp’s Bay side of Table Mountain, we follow the Pipe Track along the bottom of the dramatic Slangolie Ravine. We hike up the Twelve Apostles via Corridor Ravine with its magnificent mountain-ocean views. Once on top we explore Tranquillity Cracks’ secretive rock fissures, hug ancient indigenous trees and hike through fields of stunning fynbos flowers before stopping by the famous Diving Board rock formation with its brilliant photo opportunities.

We cross over the Back Table into the lesser-known Backwater Ravine, taking a well-deserved break at mid-day, dipping our feet into a forgotten high mountain stream on the edge of Echo Valley. With the beautiful chorus of frogs echoing loudly, the City neither heard nor seen, we are left with a true sense of ‘Paradise Lost’ having been found!

After our break, we continue to Maclear’s Beacon, the highest point on Table Mountain. On a clear day, the views across Cape Town and Table Bay are magnificent as we hike along the front edge of Table Mountain to the Upper Cableway Station where the hike ends.

Aerial Cableway tickets are excluded from the price. Add 1.5-2 hours and additional fees if we need to hike down.
