**What Sets our Ticket Apart:** Enjoy a convenient and carefully planned Table Mountain Cableway experience with practical local advice. During the busy summer season, 30 September till 31 March, weekends and public holidays, visitor numbers can be significantly higher and queues may become longer. We recommend visiting earlier in the morning (from the first cable car till 0900hrs) or later in the afternoon, (1600hrs till 1-2 hours before the last cable car updepending on season) where possible, to help reduce waiting time. Your ticket is valid for **7 days from the original activity date**. If your visit is cancelled due to weather or Cableway operations, you may use the ticket within this 7-day validity period, subject to availability and applicable operating conditions. For ticket validity confirmation or assistance, please contact **+27 71 075 8442** or **+27 61 924 3981**. Please note that queue times vary according to daily visitor volumes, weather and Cableway operations.

Begin your journey at the vibrant Lower Cable Station, set against the dramatic cliffs of Table Mountain. From here, step into one of the world’s most iconic cable cars and glide effortlessly upward in an ultra-smooth ascent. As you rise, the 360° rotating floor—one of only three of its kind in the world—reveals ever-changing views of Cape Town, the ocean and rugged mountain faces below. At the summit, a breathtaking world opens up. Wander along well-marked paths, soak in panoramic views stretching from the city bowl to the Atlantic, and capture unforgettable photos from every angle. Browse the art and craft shop for authentic local souvenirs, enjoy a relaxed coffee break, indulge in a delicious lunch at the restaurant, or toast the moment with a drink at the bar. With no rush and no time limits, Table Mountain invites you to stay, explore and savour every moment at the top.

Check the weather before you book a ticket, go very early to stand in the queue, best time would be before 6 o'clock in the morning, it starts getting busy from 7 and later you will have to stand in a queue in the sun. Very good experience and beautiful views from the top of the mountain.
The ticket that is given that says to redeem at the ticket office for official entry ticket is not accepted when you get there.
Activity a MUST do but Viator not great to order tickets through. More expensive and sent me two of the same bar code so thankfully very accommodating staff at the cable car went and printed out tickets for me. Tip, get there EARLY to avoid long wait times.
I was nervous about the cable car but it was a relatively smooth experience. Our ticket did say ‘skip the lines’ but we still had to queue, added an extra hour on the day.
Thank you for your 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear that your cable car experience was smooth and enjoyable. We appreciate your feedback regarding the queue and will continue working to ensure the ticket benefits are clearly communicated. Thank you for choosing us!
Terrible service don’t book with them. They emailed pass that didn’t work then sent one via WhatsApp. The pass worked up but not down. They said it was already redeemed. Something about the booking service and their group of tickets and how they issue them. Causes a delay, stress and confusion leaving the mountain.
We are genuinely sorry for the frustration and confusion you experienced. This is not the experience we want our customers to have. We understand that receiving a pass that did not work as expected followed by another pass via WhatsApp, and then encountering an issue along the way down the mountain caused unnecessary stress and delay. We are investigating what happened with the ticket issuance and redemption process, including why the pass was showing as already redeemed. We take this feedback seriously because our customers should not have to deal with ticketing issuea during their visit. Please contact us directly with your booking so we can investigate your specific booking and address it accordingly.
We purchased tickets for Table Mountain, but on the day of our visit, the cableway was closed due to strong winds. We were contacted and informed that our tickets would remain valid for 7 days. We received tickets for both the adults and the children. However, when we returned to use them, we were surprised to find that only the children’s tickets had been rescheduled/validated, while the adults’ tickets did not work. We tried to contact you several times to resolve the issue, but unfortunately, we have not received any response.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced when attempting to use your Table Mountain tickets. We understand that, after being informed that your tickets would remain valid for seven days following the weather-related closure, you reasonably expected all the tickets issued to your group to work when you returned. We are particularly sorry that the adult tickets were not correctly validated and that your attempts to contact us did not receive the response you deserved. We are investigating what caused the discrepancy between the adult and children’s tickets and why your previous messages were not attended to. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we take your concerns seriously. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention and apologise again for the inconvenience, stress and disappointment caused. We will use this incident to improve our ticket-rescheduling and customer-support processes to help prevent similar issues in future.
We paid 4 fast trick tickets price but got normal tickets. Have to upgrade tickets at the table mountain ticket office. Cost me extra R2600 to upgrade these 4 tickets for fast trick. Please refund the extra cost of R2600. Thanks
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and frustration caused. You purchased Fast Track tickets, and we are very sorry that the tickets issued to you were not correctly processed, resulting in you having to upgrade all four tickets at the Table Mountain ticket office at an additional cost of R2,600. We fully understand how disappointing and stressful this must have been, especially after paying for the Fast Track service in advance. We are investigating what went wrong with the ticket issuing process and will address the matter urgently. Please contact us directly with your booking details and proof of the R2,600 upgrade payment so that we can review the transaction and arrange the appropriate reimbursement. Thank you for your patience, and once again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Incredible experience, cannot recommend enough! However, it states on the booking you can collect tickets at table mountain but this was not possible. Everyone we asked said you cannot collect from the cable cart. It was also much cheaper to buy tickets directly from the cable cart company. In fairness to Viator they were able to contact the ticket company and we had them issued. Unbelievable views from the mountain nevertheless!
It pushed me a little out of my comfort zone as I am afraid of heights but an amazing experience. The views are amazing
We visited Table Mountain as part of a social day outing with my work colleagues, and it was an amazing experience. The cable car ride was smooth, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. Everything was well organized, and the atmosphere was great. It was a perfect way to relax, bond with colleagues, and enjoy one of South Africa’s most beautiful attractions. Highly recommended!
