Abseiling Table Mountain

Tour Pricing

Essential Details

Experience Overview

Step off the summit of Table Mountain, an astounding 1,000 meters above sea level, and rappel into pure vertical space. While the panoramic views from the mountaintop are breathtaking, the sights you will witness during the descent are truly unparalleled.

As you descend the side of a sheer cliff face, Camps Bay, the Atlantic Seaboard, and the deep blue ocean spread out directly at your feet, with the majestic Twelve Apostles standing right at your side. This ultimate Table Mountain abseil is a heart-pounding experience guaranteed to get your pulse racing. You can seamlessly combine this activity with one of our guided Table Mountain hikes or simply take the cable car up to join us on the summit for this mind-blowing adventure.

Critical Arrival & Logistical Instructions

You are entirely responsible for making your own way up to the summit of Table Mountain ahead of your booked slot. Please plan according to your preferred method of ascent: 

• If Taking the Cable Car: We strongly advise purchasing your Table Mountain Cable Car tickets online in advance. This helps you avoid potentially long ticket queues at the lower cable car station, ensuring you reach the summit on time.
• If Hiking Up: If you plan to hike to the top (e.g., via the popular Platteklip Gorge route), you must start your hike at least 2 to 3 hours before your scheduled abseil meeting time to ensure you are not late.
• Arrival Notice: You are required to arrive at the venue strictly 30 minutes prior to your scheduled slot. This buffer is essential to handle mandatory check-in steps, including completing indemnity waivers, conducting safety briefings, and fitting harnesses. For example, if your session is booked for 10:30 AM, you must be on-site and ready by 9:00 AM.
• Strict Punctuality: Late arrivals or no-shows immediately forfeit the booking under our strict policy. Allow ample travel time to account for unforeseen delays.
• Time Slot Availability: Your selected time slot is a preference and is not guaranteed at the time of submission. Once we receive your request/booking, we will check availability and confirm your slot. We will either send over your official confirmation or immediately contact you with alternative times or dates if your preferred slot is not available.
