You will be picked up at 07:30 by a Revel Adventures guide and taken to the start of our hike in the beautiful settings of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens scattered with thousands of indigenous plants. We then hike up the densely forested Skeleton gorge stopping along the way to admire the views over the peninsula and leafy southern suburbs.

The hike up does include a small amount of climbing over boulders and climbing up ladders. Once at the top we walk towards Mclears Beacon (at 1087m, it’s the highest point on Table Mountain) and then towards the cable station taking in the impressive views along the way. We then catch a lift down with the cable car.
