What to expect
Departing from Theresa Ave above the mansions of Camps Bay, this hiking trail on Table Mountain provides a serene escape from the bustling crowds, particularly during the busy summer months. The journey starts with a gentle warm-up along a winding jeep track before ascending towards the summit on a well-maintained trail. This hike boasts breathtaking landscapes, featuring fynbos-filled ravines, striking rock formations, and majestic cliffs set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.
As you approach the halfway point, you’ll encounter the famous on social media ‘surfboard,’ serving as both: a convenient resting spot and an unparalleled lookout point. A stop here allows you to rejuvenate in an extraordinary setting, with panoramic views of Table Mountain, Camps Bay and Lion's Head. Continuing the ascent, the trail unveils cliffs overlooking Kasteelspoort and a vantage point with a captivating perspective across the Atlantic coast.
Upon reaching the summit, revel in the remarkable landscapes of the Back Table, traverse the Valley of Red Gods, and proceed into the enchanting Valley of Isolation. The journey concludes at the upper cable car station, providing a sweeping 360-degree view of Cape Town. The descent back down via cable car offers a leisurely conclusion to this unforgettable Table Mountain adventure
