Epic Hike up India Venster (Table Mountain)

Nick is the whole package: thoroughly professional, extremely competent and knowledgeable, and exceptionally kind and engaging. I have been coming to Cape Town for 15 years and have hiked up Table Mountain many times, but Nick taught me more about the flora, fauna and history of Table Mountain on one hike than I’ve learned in my 15 years of solo hiking up the mountain. Plus, he surprised me with a French press delicious coffee (complete with homemade Rusks) halfway up the mountain. Turns out he’s a barista too! In a word, the entire experience was EPIC. I couldn’t recommend Nick more highly as a guide.

Howzit Mark! I appreciate your time and words given to leave me a review and what a pleasure it was guiding you on an iconic route you've never experienced before! India Venster is the ultimate introduction route for scrambling on Table Mountain and I'm sure you'll be back for more adventures. The coffee and rusks whilst taking in the views is always an enjoyed reward after some good hiking and 'under promising and over-delivering' is key in this line of profession. So glad you enjoyed the surprise! You were fantastic on the mountain and I'm looking forward to our next adventure, until next time, have a lekker one!

A must!

If I could give Nick a 100 stars I would. This was the most enjoyable hike I've ever done during my travels. From booking, the communication was thorough and Nick did an evaluation of my comfort, fitness, and expertise level to make sure this excursion was to my expectations. Lions head was just spectacular, and Nick has such a great eye! The photos are unbelievable. I highly suggest paying the extra fee for the professional photos. I strongly recommend this excursion to anyone not just looking for a great hike and scenery, but also amazing photographs to remember it by. Thank you Nick!

You highlighted my communication and this is a part of my mission to offer my guests the ultimate hiking experience through immersive guiding, tailored to my guest's individual needs. I can 1000% agree with you that opting for my photographic experience is worth it as capturing these images on one of our 7 new wonders of nature is priceless. You were incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed connecting with you. Thanks again for booking with me and I hope that the remainder of your travels through Africa is just as special. Until next time bro, stay active!

Hi Tania! It sounds like you had a super enjoyable 48th birthday on our treasured Table Mountain, such a wonderful place to enjoy your special day. I appreciate the 5-star review, however, it's been noted that you did not hike with me and therefore your wonderful review was accidentally posted on my listing. I have reported this in the hopes that TripAdvisor will move your review to the correct listing. Take care and keep enjoying our beautiful mountain!

100/10!!!

Had an incredible hike with Nick on Table Mountain. It was a truly unique and memorable experience. Nick combines deep knowledge with a great sense of humor, making the tour not only informative but also fun and engaging throughout. You can tell how passionate he is about the mountains, and he shares so many interesting details along the way. A special highlight was the coffee stop on the mountain – such a thoughtful touch that made the whole experience even more special. If you’re looking for more than just a standard hike and want something personal, versatile, and unforgettable, I can highly recommend Nick.

Lifetime memories!!!

Where do I even start!!! I had the chance to hike both Lion’s Head and Table Mountain with Nick, and I can honestly say it was one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve had in Cape Town. Nick is an incredible person inside and out. His knowledge, experience, and deep connection to the mountains are truly amazing. You can tell he knows every trail, every detail, and every special corner of the journey, and that makes the whole experience feel so much more meaningful. One of the most memorable parts was the beautiful moment he created for us with coffee/tea on the mountain. It was such a thoughtful and special touch, and honestly something I’ll never forget. It turned an already amazing hike into something really unforgettable. If you’re thinking about hiking in Cape Town, I cannot recommend Nick enough. He doesn’t just guide you, he creates an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. I truly hope I can come back one day and do it all again with my family. Thank you, Nick, for such an incredible experience. You’re a special person, and anyone who hikes with you is in great hands!
