Hike to the top of Table Mountain, one of the new 7 Wonders of Nature & take the cable car back down. There are 2 route options to choose from (please select correct option at booking): A. India Venster, a more adventurous, rugged & technical route to the top. Ideal for those looking for a more adventurous & thrilling way to hike up. Involves rugged, uneven terrain & some rock scrambling. More exciting. Less crowded. Duration +-3.5 hours B. Platteklip Gorge, a more direct, less technical route to the top. Ideal for those looking for the most straightforward way to hike up. Involves hundreds of big rock steps all the way to the top. Duration +-2.5 hours Both routes are not easy & require a few hours of steep uphill hiking on rocky terrain to get to the top. Both routes end at the top of Table Mountain where we will take the cable car back down (if open). If the cable car is closed (due to weather/maintenance), we will hike back down the more direct route.

Nasreen was a brilliant hike guide. She was fun and interesting and gave us lots of short breaks to catch our breath and drink. She took lots of photos of us during the hike up Table Mountain and was always concerned for our health and safety.
This is an excellent way to visit Table Mountain (and avoid lengthy line ups for the cable car). The hike was great (a bit of a leg burner) and Jay was a fantastic guide (very knowledgeable and supportive of all members of the group). Go early as it gets hot quickly.
Booked the India Venster route. No one else happened to book for today but instead of canceling the trip they helped pair me up when an awesome guide to take me up the mountain. Such a fabulous day.
Did the Table Mountain hike via the India Venster with Tauriq. We were slightly nervous going up the India Venster trail because of how challenging it is said to be but the trail is dynamic and filled with so much fun and we couldn’t have chosen a better route up Table Mountain. Tauriq’s experience with the route also made the group feel safe, comfortable and assured even while scrambling up the steep rock faces. We had such a good time - thank you to the Cape Town Local team!
Truly recommended experience with Codi. Departure at dawn and arrival at the summit of Table Mountain with a wonderful view over the whole city. Codi, our guide, was fantastic; he didn't just accompany us along the trail (which was beautiful in itself), but shared anecdotes about the local culture and interesting facts about the local flora and fauna. Furthermore, he proved to be an excellent photographer, giving us magnificent shots at the most picturesque panoramic points of the trail. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to experience a hike that combines adventure and personal enrichment. Chiara and Giuseppe
I did this trek with my daughter. It was a beautiful experience. The trek was challenging and the view was amazing. Our guide, Andrea, was awesome. She is a super nice person. Told us about the trekking routes around, and explained us about table mountain and more. She even told us the legend behind Devils Peak (Van Hunks and the Devil). Andrea is a legend!
Codi’s a great guide, very considerate and patient ! Would definitely recommend !
My boyfriend and I went up the mountain together with Andrea and everything was well communicated in advance. She told very nice stories along the way, she adjusted the pace to us and helped very well in giving directions. Really had a great morning, thanks Andrea, without you it wouldn't have worked!
We had an amazing experience with Idrees as our guide for the India Venster! What an amazing Hike/climb! He explained perfectly how to do the more technical sections and also taught us a lot about the Flora and Fauna and the history of Capetown. We had a lot of fun, would highly recommend!
We had a fabulous morning! Cody was a brilliant guide with lots of knowledge. Thank you for an amazing experience!!
