On this tour, you will be privileged to climb all the way to the top of the famous Table Mountain in the comfort of a state-of-the-art cable car. Your friendly, experienced guide will assist you with booking your return ticket on the cable car and with providing you with information about the significance of this mountain. After an exciting ride on a rotating floor in a glass-sided cable car, you will be at leisure to walk across the top of this flat-top mountain as you view the indigenous vegetation, be awed by the superb views of the city, the Atlantic ocean, Signal Hill and on a clear day, even the historic Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for much of his 27-year spate in South African jails.
After indulging yourself in a light snack at the Table Mountain restaurant, take your return trip in the cable-car to the bottom of the mountain where your guide will be waiting for you.
