About this activity

Get ready for one of Cape Town’s most memorable hikes! Climb Lion’s Head and enjoy spectacular 360-degree views from 670 metres above sea level. From the summit, take in Table Mountain, Robben Island, the sparkling Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful beaches of Camps Bay and Sea Point.

Choose the experience that suits you best — watch the city come to life on a magical sunrise hike, enjoy the views on a day hike, or finish your day with an unforgettable sunset hike.

The route is fun and varied, with a little adventure along the way. For those who enjoy a challenge, you can tackle sections with staples and chains. Prefer to keep things a little easier? No problem — there is an alternative route that avoids them.

Whether you’re hiking as a couple, with family or simply looking for an unforgettable way to experience Cape Town, Lion’s Head delivers spectacular views and plenty of memorable moments!
