What travelers are saying
- 53Ruta_RChicago, IL462 contributionsWent early in the morning as the sky was clear and we wanted to take advantage of the cloudless sky. Glad we did as the mountain was covered in clouds in the afternoon.
The cable cars had rotating floors as to give panoramic views while going up and down. Hiking up is possible, but takes several hours.
When on top, there are 2 trails, commanding views ( clear day), option to bungee jump, gift shop and place to eat.Written May 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BobN06Avondale, PA631 contributionsBeautiful and well-maintained gardens, world class and definitely worth a visit. We spent about an hour and a half and could have been there longer. We were there late in the day and most of the crowds had left so we had many areas of the gardens to ourselves.Written May 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BobN06Avondale, PA631 contributionsSafe area for walking around at all hours. Typical attraction site for tourists with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Amid the plethora of the typical chain stores and restaurants, you can also find unique souvenir shops with reasonable prices and some excellent African restaurants. Most weekend evenings you can also find free local entertainment.Written May 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 53Ruta_RChicago, IL462 contributionsLuckily, on the day I went, the skies were clear. A funicular took a group up the side to reach one of the higher point. A ticket is required for both directions. Commanding views.Written May 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beautiful Journeys679Johannesburg, South Africa33 contributionsWhat an incredible hike with the most phenomenal 360 degree views over Cape Town and the Atlantic Ocean. Def not for the faint hearted or those who have a fear of heights. 3 of us set off on this challenging hike and only two of us reached the peak.
Took about 2.5 - 3hours.
I enjoyed the more daring trail with ladders (option of easy or difficult)
Def a must do activity!Written April 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My wife and I really enjoyed our tour guide taking us around and showing us all the points of interest. We spent a good three hours here and simply loved the beauty of our planet. Let's keep it that way!Written May 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael PPretoria, South Africa165 contributionsGrowing up on the western side of the Cape Peninsula I read your comments on Camps Bay beach with interest. Whoever wrote the review may have been to the beach but certainly never swam in the sea. Waem water indeed. As kids there were always several friends that were absent from school when the water reached a lovely temperature of 60 F
The locals don't rate Camps Bay as a great beach, Clifton 1 & 4 are the choices.Written April 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
