Absolutely phenomenal! Once in a lifetime experience! They take your phone and take photos of you the whole time as well!
Amazing experience! We did it as a family, and our kids (13, 12 and 9) absolutely loved it. The guides were wonderful, they constantly guided and encouraged our kids, especially our daughter who was quite scared at the start, but in the end, had the time of her life. I absolutely recommend this as a super memorable experience, worth every cent!
I received an email the morning of saying the tour was canceled and they gave me the opportunity reschedule. Since I was there on a cruise, I couldn’t reschedule and asks if I could just get a refund instead. They never replied so I emailed again at the end of the day and still no response. I’m going to have to go through viator now to get a refund since there has been no communication from their end.
It was a totally great experience. The guides were super nice. I can only recommend it. A special result in Cape Town
Vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback! 🌟 Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie eine so schöne Erfahrung hatten und unsere Guides dazu beitragen konnten, den Moment unvergesslich zu machen. Es ist wunderbar zu hören, dass Ihr Besuch bei uns ein besonderes Highlight in Kapstadt war. Wir hoffen, Sie eines Tages wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!
Without a doubt the best thing we did in South Africa - an incredible experience we will never forget! The weight restrictions listed online meant we didn't sign my husband up, but thankfully on the day the instructor said it was much higher, so we could both do it. This should definitely be changed as people are missing out on this amazing experience. They offer to take your phone to take free pictures of you which I recommend, but definitely keep another phone/camera on you if you can to document the way back up! The guides were great, fun and safe and I never felt in any danger. I would only say that the '30 minute guided walk' back to the top is actually a 1 hour not-guided tough hike (the top of the India Venster trail). It's 100% worth it (and the views from this bit are wild) but not suitable for those with less mobility or time. Thank you - it was utterly fantastic!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that abseiling Table Mountain was the highlight of your trip to South Africa and that both you and your husband could share the experience together. We appreciate your note regarding the weight restrictions and hike back up — your feedback is very valuable, and we’ll take this into account to ensure our information is as clear as possible for future adventurers. We’re so glad you enjoyed the photos, the views, and the guidance from our team. It means a lot that you felt safe and supported throughout. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in Cape Town! 🧗♂️⛰️
This was such a fun experience! My 11, 15, 18 year old children and I did the abseiling and LOVED it. We felt safe the whole time, and the views were breathtaking. I would recommend this to anyone looking for adventure on Table mountain. It is a once in a lifetime experience.
Hi there Allison, thank you so much for taking the leap with us. I am so glad the children had a good time and hopefully a memory that will last a lifetime. Hope to see you all again on your next visit up the Mountain. Warmest regards Abseil Cape Town Team
Staff were both professional and friendly throughout the journey! I consider this a must do activity for thrill seekers visiting South Africa.
Thank you for joining us on the mountain. It is such a pleasure sharing our abseil experience with fellow adventurers. Hope to see you next time you visit the mountain :)
Very short but great experience. You need to make it up to the table mountains and basically btheyabre just their making it happen. They set you up and hold your stuff then you are off the mountain. They get a few great photos then you fly down. After that you are on a self hike back up to collect your stuff. Overall great experience and great team. Highly recommended.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌟 We’re so glad you enjoyed the abseil, the photos, and the adventure. Our team will be delighted to hear your recommendation — we hope to see you back on Table Mountain again soon! ⛰️🧗♂️
My wife and I absolutely loved this experience! We were complete novices but they do a great job of walking you through the process. Also a nice hike back up! You will always remember doing this! Great staff! Thanks!!
Thank you for the amazing feedback! We’re thrilled you both loved the experience and that our team made your first abseil feel safe and memorable. Well done on conquering the hike too—it’s all part of the adventure! Hope to see you on the mountain again soon. — The Cape Town Abseil Team
The crew here were supportive and fun and guided me every step of the way despite my nerves! The adrenaline rush is no joke and I'm so happy I did this experience. The photos came out amazing, and I also enjoyed the short hike back to the top. This is a must-do activity in Cape Town!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad our team helped calm the nerves and make it fun—what an achievement! Thrilled you loved the adrenaline rush (and the photos!) and we couldn’t agree more—it’s a Cape Town must-do. — The Cape Town Abseil Team
