Best time to go
The best, and safest, time to go abseiling in Cape Town, and especially on Table Mountain, is on a clear day. These days can be experienced throughout the year, but it’s best to avoid the very windy seasons (Oct – Dec). When booking your abseiling experience, watch the weather reports and aim for a calm, sunny day.
Table Mountain cable car/hike tour options
Before you can start your table mountain abseiling adventure, you need to be able to get to the top of the mountain. The most exciting way would be to hike. You can choose to hike up and down, with your abseiling in between, or take the easier option and use the cable car. The third, and possibly the best option would be to hike one way and take the cable car the other way. See some of your options below.
5-Hour Table Mountain Hike with Cable Car Descent

- Hotel pickup and drop off
- Guided hike
- Cable car fee

Once you’ve reached the highest point on the mountain, you’ll then be free to walk to the cable car. This is the perfect time to fit in abseiling down Table Mountain before you head back to the Gardens.

Absolutely amazing! I could not recommend this highly enough. As a solo traveller in Cape Town I wanted an experience that made me feel safe with someone who really knew the area – and Stuart was the perfect person for the job! I underestimated the climb – but was damn proud at the end of completing it and Stuart could not have been more encouraging. The only way to see Table Mountain in it's full glory in my opinion!

Perfekter Aufstieg Wir wurden direkt an unserem Hotel abgeholt und zum Tafelberg gefahren. Unsere Wanderung begann in der Nähe der Talstation der Seilbahn und führte uns auf die Spitze des Tafelbergs. Wir haben etwas über drei Stunden nach oben gebraucht. Der Weg war steil und nicht zu unterschätzen, aber auch ohne Bergwandererfshrungen gut zu meistern. Unser Guide Reinhard war super. Wir haben extrem viel Spaß gehabt und würden die Tour jederzeit wieder machen.

Fantastic hiking activity, well planned along with a great guide (OTC) I had a wonderful time doing the hike. Cliff from OTC is an accomplished, fantastic guide with a main concern about safety of the hikers. He took good care of me, showed the tricky areas of the trail, and the day was a perfect hiking activity full of beautiful, wonderful views from the marvellous city of Cape Town. I plan to return to South Africa, and definitely I plan to do the hiking again along with some friends; but definitely I would book the hiking tour with GET YOUR GUIDE but I would request Cliff as our guide. He is synonym of safety and enjoyment during the activity. Thank you Get Your Guide and Cliff from OTC for such delightful day of hiking.
