Experience Overview

Your adventure starts with a brief safety introduction at the zipline office, located within the Silvermist Organic Wine Estate. From there, guests embark on an exhilarating 4×4 drive up the mountain high above Constantia, where you'll be treated to spectacular panoramic views of Cape Town and Hout Bay. 

The Cape Town Ziplines border the Table Mountain National Park Reserve. As you walk and zipline between the 12 platforms, you’ll be immersed in the natural beauty, fauna, and flora—the amazing scenery might even make you feel like you are inside the Table Mountain Nature Reserve itself.

The platforms offer some of the most scenic vantage points in the Cape Peninsula. This Zipline Tour is a truly remarkable experience that will leave you breathless in more ways than one.
