What You Will Do
Hike Table Mountain one of the most recognizable mountains in the world and one of the new seven natural wonders and experience some of the unique flora found only in the southwestern Cape commonly termed fynbos, the smallest and richest of the six floral kingdoms on our planet with many species of proteas, ericas and restios. Also unique to Table Mountain is the ghost frog a rare and elusive frog species that is endemic to Table Mountain. Keep an eye out for the old cable car ruins and just past them is the Instagram photo stop at the diving board – a piece of rock that juts out and offers awesome photo opportunities for those without a fear of heights but not to be attempted on a windy day!

Customer Reviews
An amazing experience
2023-08-13
Thanks to Patrick, we got to experience the Table Mountain in a manner we would have never done on our own. We went up the calm Kasteelspoort route, where we barely saw any people at all. Via Platteklip Gorge we went down again, which was clearly a more popular route, giving the amount of people we encountered there. Patrick took the time for us, explained interesting facts and gave fun anecdotes. We were happy by the route he recommended to us, because we enjoyed the experience a lot and definitely want to recommended this trip to anyone who considers seeing the Table Mountain up close. Patrick, thanks again!
Excellent

Patrick was prompt with contacting to arrange the trip in the first place. He was clear with information and felt reliable. He was friendly and knowledgeable on the tour. He gave lots of information about the area, flowers, animals and locals along the way and he let us walk at a pace which was comfortable. I didn't feel pressure to speed up or like he was unapproachable. He helped with transport afterwards and also gave recommendations for another tour guide the next day when he was unavailable. I'd definitely recommend using this service again!
Hike of table mountain

We did a 4.5 hour hike of table mountain
Patrick was excellent - a genuinely lovely guy, with strong local knowledge, and a professional and courteous attitude. Very reasonably priced also.
Would wholeheartedly recommend; doubt you would find a more genuine, friendly and reasonable guide
