Tour Overview

Book a day with one of our hiking guides to climb Table Mountain, Lions Head, or other mountains in our area. Safety is paramount, but a hiking guide always offers so much more than that, because they are familiar the the routes and the terrain. They KNOW the shortcuts and can give you insights into what you are looking at in terms of views and plants. In Summer, the hikes will start VERY early (6am-630am) because the sun is powerful and will burn you to a crisp if you try to hike later in the day.

These hikes are always subject to weather and may be cancelled or postponed if rendered unsafe. Booking is required well in advance in Spring, Summer, and Autumn.
