Return details
After about an hour, we leave the main trail and turn onto a narrower path that climbs diagonally beneath the dramatic Twelve Apostles. As we enter Kasteelspoort Ravine, the route steadily zigzags upward through the gorge. Several steeper sections require light scrambling and the occasional use of hands to negotiate larger rock steps, adding an enjoyable sense of adventure without being overly technical. Reaching the back plateau of Table Mountain is a rewarding milestone, but the journey is not over yet. The trail continues across the summit, winding through a series of valleys and rocky landscapes, with a few ladders along the way. By late morning, we arrive at the Upper Cableway Station, where breathtaking views await.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
