Table Mountain Tickets

Table Mountain stands 1,085 metres above Cape Town, offering some of the finest views in South Africa. Your fast-track ticket gets you straight onto the rotating cable car without the usual queues, whisking you to the summit in just five minutes. The modern aerial cableway rotates 360 degrees as it climbs, giving you sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Robben Island, and Lion's Head during the ascent.

At the summit, you'll find yourself on a flat-topped plateau that's part of the Table Mountain National Park and UNESCO Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site. Well-marked walking paths lead you through unique fynbos vegetation, home to over 1,470 plant species. The summit also features cafes, shops, and multiple viewing points where you can photograph Cape Town's harbour, beaches, and city bowl spread out below.

Highlights

  • Skip the queue with fast-track cable car access for roundtrip travel
  • 360-degree rotating cable car journey with panoramic views during the ascent
  • Explore the flat summit plateau with marked walking trails through indigenous fynbos
  • Photography opportunities overlooking Cape Town, Table Bay, and the Atlantic coastline

Plan Your Visit to Table Mountain

The cable car operates daily but may close during strong winds or for maintenance, so check the official schedule before your visit. The service typically runs from early morning until evening, with the last car up usually departing about an hour before closing time. Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the summit to properly explore the walking paths and enjoy the views.

Dress in layers as temperatures can be significantly cooler at the summit, and bring sun protection since there's limited shade on the plateau. The cable car and summit facilities are wheelchair accessible. While exploring Cape Town, consider adding a Cape Town hop-on hop-off bus tour to visit other attractions, or take a full-day tour to Cape Point and the penguin colony for more of the region's natural highlights.
