This remarkable site features a 19th-century trigonometrical beacon, constructed by surveyor Andrew Maclear, used to measure the Earth’s curvature.

• With our local guides’ in-depth knowledge, the mountain comes alive as you explore the captivating history of Cape Town, unravel the mysteries of Table Mountain’s geology, and discover the unique plant and animal species that inhabit its slopes.

• You’ll also enjoy our signature “trailside tea” at a scenic overlook, where you can replenish your energy with quintessentially South African snacks and a selection of hot beverages in winter or refreshing iced tea (with ice!) in summer.

• The guided loop hike concludes at the Upper Cableway, where you’ll enjoy a scenic descent in the cable car.
