Real experiences from real travelers
Booking the 7-day flexible ticket was the best decision. The weather was bad on Monday, but we used it on Wednesday when the sky cleared. The rotating floor is amazing!
The views are unmatched. It was quite busy at the top, so I recommend going early in the morning. Our mobile tickets worked perfectly at the gate.
We were on a cruise stop and didn't have much time. The fast track ticket saved us at least 2 hours of waiting in the heat. Worth every penny.
We hiked up with a guide via India Venster and took the cable car down. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the plants. Highly recommend for active travelers.
We went up for the sunset. It was freezing at the top so bring a jacket! The cable car ride is short but the 360 view is a great touch.
Booked the combined tour. It was a long day but very well organized. Seeing the mountain after the history of the island was very moving.
The platform made it so easy to compare prices. We got the return ticket and enjoyed the free walking tour at the top. Great value.
A must-see in Cape Town. The Dassies at the top are very cute. The cable car is very modern and feels very safe.
Everything you need to know for your journey
If the cableway closes due to high winds or poor visibility, your ticket remains valid for future use within its validity period (usually 7 days). If you cannot use it, most providers offer a refund or rescheduling options via the booking platform.
Most standard tickets purchased through our partners are valid for 7 consecutive days from your selected date, giving you flexibility to wait for a clear day.
Yes, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway often has different pricing for 'Morning' (valid from opening until 1 PM) and 'Afternoon' (valid from 1 PM until closing). Afternoon tickets are sometimes slightly cheaper.
Absolutely! Many visitors choose to hike up via Platteklip Gorge and purchase a 'one-way down' ticket at the summit station or pre-book a hiking tour that includes the descent.
Yes, the Cableway and the main pathways at the Upper Cable Station are wheelchair accessible. There are designated elevators and ramps to ensure everyone can enjoy the views.
Even on a hot day in the city, the summit can be windy and much colder. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing a windproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes.
Yes, the Table Mountain Cafe serves a variety of meals, snacks, and drinks. There is also a WiFi lounge and several gift shops selling local crafts.
We recommend at least 2 to 3 hours to explore the various viewpoints, enjoy a short walk on the Dassie or Klipspringer trails, and have a coffee while taking in the views.
No, digital tickets on your smartphone are perfectly acceptable and are the preferred method for entry. Simply show the barcode at the gate.
While many do it, we strongly recommend hiking with a guide or in a group of at least three people. Weather changes rapidly and trails can be confusing. Our guided hiking tours are a safer, more educational option.
Fast Track tickets allow you to skip the general boarding queue, which can be over 2 hours long during peak season (December and January). It provides priority access to the next available cable car.
Early morning (as soon as it opens) is best to avoid crowds and high winds. Late afternoon is perfect for photography and witnessing the sunset, but check the last car down time carefully.
