Awesome Experience

One of the best places I've ever been. The whole arrangement for a visitor is wonderfully organised. We booked our ticket online the previous day for an afternoon trip, which was a bit cheaper. The queue was not too long, but had to struggle to...More

Free on your birthday

Had an absolutely wonderful experience going up the mountain with my son on my birthday. It's rather expensive to buy anything there, but it is worth it.

Its a cable car.

What is to say about a cable car. It works and spins which is nice but the queues can be very long. The view is nice but better from the top. There should be a webcam on top but as one worker said no one...More

Great views on a good day

This place never ceases to impress. From the cable car ride up, the views from the top and the actual magnitude of the mountain. Lovely cafe at the top serves top notch food/cake and coffee and the local hyraxes are quite cute too

Ticked the box

Even though bad weather at the time we had a nice coffee and cake at the top of Table Mountain and managed to get some nice pictures of the Dassies.

Worth the visit

Great views worth the time time to visit. Must choose a day with little wind so allow flexability in your schedule and watch the weather for great visibility and no wind.

Breathtaking Views

Table Mountain Aerial Cable way must be experienced on any visit to Cape Town. The views of the city, harbor, and surrounding areas are breathtaking.

Check it's open before you book

Disappointing experience today. The aerial cableway was closed quite reasonably due to high winds - the strength of the winds was forecast when I checked the weather yesterday. So I left it til this morning to book online, aware that the service is weather dependent....More

We visited recently, and would definitely recommend a trip to the top of Table Mountain via aerial cableway. We booked in the morning at the V and A waterfront for an afternoon ticket, and arrived at 4pm. The views en route and at the top...More

We are looking to walk up to the top of table mountain and get the cable car down. However the website only offers tickets from the lower station upwards. How do I purchase a one-way ticket from top to bottom of the mountain? Thanks!

When you get to the top, there is a machine in the cable car house where you can buy a one-way ticket down. The hike up takes about 2 hrs, so take plenty of water.
