Set off from the base station of Table Mountain Cable Way on this hiking tour to the top of this impressive natural wonder. Listen to some of the mountain’s fascinating history, which is both a nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, as you start climbing the stone steps to the contour road leading to Plattekloof Gorge.Admire the many awesome rock faces that adorn the gorge, before tackling the stone-stepped path leading to the summit some 600m above. Enjoy the pace of this moderate climb, stopping to catch your breath, and soaking up the breathtaking views, as often as our pace requires.
Continue the climb for roughly two hours to reach the flat top of the mountain. This is one of the world’s most stunning natural landmarks, and views from the top are sure to impress. Soak it all up before walking 10 minutes to the Top Cable Way Station to refresh with a cool drink. Set off at a relaxed pace on the 90-minute round trip walk to Maclear's Beacon. This walk is mainly on flat terrain and will give you great insight into the vegetation found on this flattop mountain. Admire the stunning views that take in the majestic False Bay, the sweep of the Cape Winelands far in the distance and the dramatic Cape of Good Hope.
From up here you can get a bird’s eye view of the entire peninsula with the ocean lapping around the cape far below. Arrive back at the Top Cable Way Station for the best final views of the Twelve Apostles, Atlantic Sea Board, Clifton beaches and Robben Island. The rotating cable car will entertain you with lasting vistas of Table Bay and Cape Town while descending the mountain. Relax back at the bottom of the mountain, where this unique Cape Town walking tour comes to an end.
