- Table Mountain Aerial Cableway - This route is one of our top recommendations! It starts on the north face of the mountain with breath taking views of the city and Table Bay, then it swings around to the west side of the mountain, with superb views of Camps Bay, the Twelve Apostles and the Atlantic Ocean. The route involves scrambling (elementary climbing) and exposure to heights (narrow ledges – nothing extreme) about 15% of the way, so you do need a head for heights. No experience required, only a sense of adventure! Hike Duration: About 3.5 hours Hike Distance: About 3 km / 1.9 miles Elevation Gain: 700 meters / 2300 feet

A wonderful Cape Town adventure - We originally booked Platteklip but due to a mountain race the route was unavailable. However it was a blessing in disguise as Lynette organised us to traverse the India Venster route instead which was absolutely mind blowing! Our guide Barry was fantastic, we were picked up from our hotel and started the route post a beautiful sunrise; from beginning to end the views were spectacular. I would say this route needs a good level of fitness as there are some steep climbs and scrambles, however they are not too challenging and it was a very rewarding feeling completing this route. If you are looking for a fantastic and adventurous way to experience Table Mountain then I could not recommend this highly enough.

Brilliant hike, brilliant guide - Had a fantastic morning out on Table Mountain yesterday. The route was more challenging than a previous one I had done (also with Lynette) - but Lynette was so calm and patient with good clear guidance where it was needed (and appreciated!) that it was a superb experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lynette again. She’s brilliant. Thanks for an awesome trip!

India Fenster scramble - Fantastic experience. Lynette is a superb guide. For the India Fenster route, you need to not be worried about heights and be pretty fit as requires scrambling and some steep uphill sections. Great fun!

Beautiful morning views! - What an amazing day! Lynette was such a lovely guide. Punctual, experienced, knowledgeable and just a lovely person. We headed up the mountain and decided to change our path as it was getting a bit windy. Following Lynette’s suggestion we went left and had a gorgeous hike with amazing views. Thank you for a great Table Mountain experience!

Best experience Table Mountain Hike! - Liesl is the best guide you could ever ask for! She made us comfortable with route option before deciding India Venster! She also helped other hikers who needed guidance as well. Thank you Liesl for taking bunch of pictures in the most challenging cliff! We had the best time! Definitely will come back and hike again!

A must do!! - What an awesome experience. Lynette was a great guide, very informative, very friendly and extremely patient when I had a few nervous wobbles. When I got nervous, Lynette encouraged me and showed me where to best hold and place my feet. There is no better way to see Cape Town other than the top of table mountain on a clear day. We took the Indian Venster route which has spectacular views and a little challenged in places but so worth it.
