Table Mountain Hike Via Platteklip Gorge At Sunrise

Amazing day out and Patrick our host was superb. Full of information, showing us the various flowers and letting us go at our own pace. Also shared his lemon water when we ran out. Take water, it is needed and be prepared for a hike... we are fit but it wasn't easy....but so worth it when you reach the top

This hike was a great experience! Excellent location and great guiding from Patrick. I would definitely recommend it and do it again. I'd like to highlight that Patrick was in constant communication prior to the hike to agree on the best departure time for us to get up and down safely, as rain was possible. He took the time to ask about my experience level and insisted on the minimum required safety gear. The entire time, he was focused on our safety and making sure we completed the adventure completely safe and sound. Thanks a million, Patrick!

Patrick was fantastic-he went at a pace that was appropriate for our condition and capability. He was very personable and shared his knowledge of the local flora and history. We thoroughly enjoyed him as our guide.

Andy guided me on this amazing hike experience. He is very knowledgeable about the Hike, the best routes, any potential risks, where to stand/sit for the best views and pictures. He was very attuned to my level of fitness and was able to guide us to the summit well ahead of the crowd that arrived later. He came prepared with a fully charged headlamp - and a thermos of hot water and a choice of instant coffee or tea (which was a welcome treat at the early hour). The sunrise view was stunning, life affirming. He took a number of photos of me at key photogenic sites. He gave me a lot of background and history on the city and some of the neighborhoods. Andy is a very pleasant travel companion. Finally he made sure we got down safely. I highly recommend this experience.

Patrick was a fantastic guide, very patient and incredibly knowledgable about the wildlife and history of the area. I would recommend him to anyone interested in climbing Table Mountain. The hike itself is challenging (of course), we climbed up through Platterklip gorge. There are some very steep sections, with big rocks/stairs to climb up. If you have short legs like me those sections may be hard work! But it was totally worth it. We climbed in June, and there were very few people hiking, so we had the trail almost completely to ourselves, and when we got up into the clouds it was like a different planet! Overall, an incredible experience made even better with a wonderful guide!

Tough first 20 mins, then easier stretch for 45 mins heading along side of mountain to start of gorge and then steady ascent. Took us 3 hrs 15. Benefitted from cool cloud cover for first 2.5 hrs and then sun broke through - more beautiful but tougher in the heat. Guide Patrick was very knowlegeable and let us manage the pace to suit us, so we had a great time!

I found those guides by recommendation of OpenAI. The guides loves the nature instead of making a living, which makes the experiences extraordinary and unforgettable. We had two groups of about 30 people and they all enjoyed the trip.

Such a great time. Patrick was really helpful and informative and patient. He even gave us a ride to and from our hotel! Highly recommended.

My partner and I did a morning hike up Platteklip Gorge with Frank and his partner Birgit. The views were incredible and Frank and Birgit provided us with such amazing company! We felt very comfortable in their presence and they were super supportive of any breaks we wanted up the mountain. Very well run tour company and if we are on this side of the world again, we will definitely do it again. Thanks for a great morning :)

Patrick is a super guide! He is very patient, attentive to everyone's needs and levels, funny, knows a lot about the mountains, the fauna and flora, and provides good anecdotes and historical and cultural facts. We did the Table Mountain hike (via the Platteklip route), which is a less technical route but still provides stunning views. We came down via the Cable Car after a stop at the restaurant at the top. Thanks to Patrick for being so professional. Highly recommend him ! PS - Bonus point, he can also speak French !

I had been looking forward to hiking Table mountain since prior visits to Capetown. I was finally able to book a tour and experience the challenging hike. I recommend doing this hike with a guide. The hike was challenging but worth it. The views were breathtaking and feel good. The gide Patrick was very professional, kind. Thank you very much!

It was great experience hiking Table Mountain with Patrick, he is such a professional tour guide, who knows the route very well, he also knows about the vegetation in the area. I really enjoyed walking/hiking with him.

Patrick was a great guide. There was just me on the hike and even though I was slower, there was no rushing and we could take breaks as needed. The hike is great, definately legs are gonna feel it, as most of it is just up the mountain and steps and steps... but felt great after when we reached the top! Weather caught me by surprise as I was extecting it to be colder but beautiful sunny day this time.

Very professional and friendly guide. We loved getting out and about on our feet and experiencing something more rewarding than the typical cable car.

I would highly recommend this hike for anyone looking to get stunning views, a bit of a workout, and some great local information. Patrick was an excellent guide who provided insight into the history of Table Mountain, Cape Town, and the surrounding area. We also learned a lot about the special flora and fauna of the mountain. Perfect morning out!
