Once in a Lifetime family experience

Amazing experience! We did it as a family, and our kids (13, 12 and 9) absolutely loved it. The guides were wonderful, they constantly guided and encouraged our kids, especially our daughter who was quite scared at the start, but in the end, had the time of her life. I absolutely recommend this as a super memorable experience, worth every cent!

Was cancelled due to weather but never refunded

I received an email the morning of saying the tour was canceled and they gave me the opportunity reschedule. Since I was there on a cruise, I couldn’t reschedule and asks if I could just get a refund instead. They never replied so I emailed again at the end of the day and still no response. I’m going to have to go through viator now to get a refund since there has been no communication from their end.

Wildly fun and exciting!

Without a doubt the best thing we did in South Africa - an incredible experience we will never forget! The weight restrictions listed online meant we didn't sign my husband up, but thankfully on the day the instructor said it was much higher, so we could both do it. This should definitely be changed as people are missing out on this amazing experience. They offer to take your phone to take free pictures of you which I recommend, but definitely keep another phone/camera on you if you can to document the way back up! The guides were great, fun and safe and I never felt in any danger. I would only say that the '30 minute guided walk' back to the top is actually a 1 hour not-guided tough hike (the top of the India Venster trail). It's 100% worth it (and the views from this bit are wild) but not suitable for those with less mobility or time. Thank you - it was utterly fantastic!

Such a thrill!

This was such a fun experience! My 11, 15, 18 year old children and I did the abseiling and LOVED it. We felt safe the whole time, and the views were breathtaking. I would recommend this to anyone looking for adventure on Table mountain. It is a once in a lifetime experience.

Very short but great...

Very short but great experience. You need to make it up to the table mountains and basically btheyabre just their making it happen. They set you up and hold your stuff then you are off the mountain. They get a few great photos then you fly down. After that you are on a self hike back up to collect your stuff. Overall great experience and great team. Highly recommended.

Picturesque adrenaline rush and an unforgettable experience!

The crew here were supportive and fun and guided me every step of the way despite my nerves! The adrenaline rush is no joke and I'm so happy I did this experience. The photos came out amazing, and I also enjoyed the short hike back to the top. This is a must-do activity in Cape Town!

A great adrenaline rush for an old guy

It was a truly exhilarating experience for this 70+ yo. The guys were great and eased my safety concerns. I will count on a return trip down the face when next on Table Mountain.
