Kai was a 10/10 - no notes. The perfect guide for a perfect experience. From start to finish was the best hype man and guide. Total hybrid athlete. If you don’t go with Kai, don’t go.

Kieron was a wonderful guide. He was so knowledgeable and has a genuine passion for the outdoors. Beautiful hike up Lion's Head. Can't beat the views!
Our guide Kieran was very friendly and gave us a lot of information in a good way. The view was amazing! We can highly remomend this tour!
Amazing hike up the Lion’s Head at sunset. Yvette was a great guide. She told us about the city and the flora, brought snacks and tea, and got us back to the bottom right at dark.
I highly recommend this hike led by Yvette. She has an impressive resume hiking all over the world, including a solo PCT thru-hike! It was an honor and a pleasure meeting her and sharing our love of outdoors. Till next time!
We had the most amazing morning with Kai our guide. He was so patient, friendly and knowledgeable and made the experience even better. The views at the top are incredible and the sunrise was beautiful over the city. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town.
Such an amazing morning with an incredible sunrise. Kai was such a helpful, knowledgeable and patient guide who was brilliant from start to finish. The views were amazing and we would highly recommend to anyone who is visiting Cape Town. Thank you Kai!
Kieron was a great guide! We learned so much and had a great time along the way! The view was also insane!!
So glad that I had booked this Lion Head Sunrise trip. It all started with our guide Kieron, picking us up at the hotel at 520am. Yes, it's 520am but it was worth it. We started the ascend at mid point up Lion Head. The climb though a bit challengjng but it was worth it. The view before sunrise was beautiful, and it hit its epitome when the sun begin to rise. Compliments must be given also to our guide Keiron, who not only was very professional, he also has vast knowledge of the floral as well as history about South Africa. Highly recommend to try and experience.
Just amazing and best guide and experience. Thanks for makeing our morning special. A must on your bucket list!
They stood us up, never showed for the pickup for the sunset. The operator didn't answer, waiting for refund.
Great morning with Kieron! He took excellent care of us, with knowledge and interesting chat. We were so pleased to have him guiding us and managing the best route and a peaceful place to see the sunrise just before the summit as it was super busy today! Thank you for a wonderful hike.
Our family took the sunrise hike to Lion's Head this morning and absolutely loved it! Our children (12, 14 & 16) enjoyed the challenge. The views were incredible, and so was our guide Yvette. She took lots of photos for us and provided tea and snacks at the summit. Could not recommend this enough! It's an amazing way to start the day✨️
Kieran was an incredible guide, so knowledgable, full of facts and just very caring and kind. We could have hung out with Kieran all day! He looked after us from pick up at the hotel and even bought bottles of water, snacks and hot tea for us to enjoy whilst watching the sunrise at the top of the mountain. The hike was fun and the sunrise view was just beautiful. I would have no hesitation booking hikes with Kieran in the future and highly recommend you to book him as your guide! Thank you so much for making out hike enjoyable and a memorable morning in Cape Town!
Yvette was our guide today for the Sunset walk. Fantastic time she was so knowledgeable about Lions Head and so friendly that at no time did we feel the challenge of the walk was too much. Well recommend and we have some great photos to go with our memories.
Kai was an amazing leader. His patience in guiding up members of our group to the Lion Head summit, with less confidence than others, was the difference between making it to the top or not! I personally will be eternally grateful to him for supporting and guiding my wife to the summit and allowing her to conquer her fears. Standing at the summit with our 2 adult children is an experience she will cherish for many years to come.
Absolutely fantastic!! Our tour guide was amazing and the hike was so rewarding. The views from the top are beautiful and watching the sunset made the hike worth while.
An absolutely awe-inspiring experience! Elodye was a wonderful guide and host. Great communication before the hike and went out of her way to ensure we were well prepared. She was very encouraging and patient on the trek respecting everyone’s level of ability. The whole experience was amazing with breathtaking views. At the summit we enjoyed a cup of rooibos tea and a snack. We cannot recommend Elodye enough. Not only did she safely navigate us up and down Lion’s Head but also willingly shared great tips and advice of places to eat and also visit during our stay in Cape Town. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
Had an amazing time, beautiful hike and views. If you want to learn about the culture and history of south Africa, and also learn about the different flowers along the route, ask for kieron, he was great!
Kieron was very friendly and helpful and his knowledge about nature and history was a cherry on the cake. Good views and an amazing guide!
Beautiful view, the guide is Elodye Davids, extremely patient, available and gentle; the experience was extremely good even for me that I am a beginner, definitely worth the price. It takes around 3/4 hours and you will get beautiful pictures
Yvette was an amazing guide. She was prompt on time for pickup and was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and even prepared a wonderful breakfast for us at the summit. Her photo taking was on point and she captured the perfect picture of both of us with a full circle rainbow at the top.
It might seem a bit pricey, but my husband and I enjoyed the safety and peace of mind of having a guide take us up the mountain. We went at sunset and it was utterly epic — our guide provided torches, snacks, and warm tea at the summit. Two hours was more than enough to get to the summit and be prepared for epic views! Overall, not a challenging hike at all in good weather at sunset.
Our guide Yvette is very professional and she has experience for all hiking routes here. She take care of us all the way and all of us feel safety when climbing with her. So we highly recommend you can book this wonderful activity. 中国的客人可以找Yvette,她非常专业,善于交谈而且非常有耐心。我们在攀爬的过程中得到非常全面的照顾。
Kai was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge about the nature on lionshead and cape town! It was an amazing climb with a beautiful view, highly recommend!
Yvette was a fantastic guide for lion’s head. She was incredibly well equipped and made the hike super enjoyable but also ensured we felt really safe and in good hands. She was also really knowledgeable about the area and the floral diversity on the mountain… and even hand baked brownies! We would definitely hike with Yvette again.
What an experience! Yvette was truly the perfect guide for us on this hike. It was my first time handling such an open hike and heights and she kept my husband and I very comfortable and engaged. We never felt rushed and she was such a pleasant friend to chat with too! She also took seriously epic photos for us! Highly recommend this hike with Yvette!
Yvette was just the perfect guide. She made sure we were completely comfortable the whole way through and we never felt rushed. She was also very encouraging and patient. It was also much welcomed how she shared much about the nature on Lion’s Head and about Cape Town in general with us. She took great photos for us as well. We would recommend her for sure!
I and my son had a great morning hike, with a smooth pick-up at Hotel! Guide was friendly, and very experienced and knowledgeable about the area and its environment/nature overall. Highly recommended!
Wonderful experience! Thank you Kai for for your kindness and guidance. We hope we meet again!! Super recommended:)
Yvette was our amazing guide who is not only experienced but adapts to your comfort level. She offered multiple options to see which one we would like to do and we chose lions head which has amazing scenic views. She was extremely helpful and patient through out the hike and clicked some nice pics for us too. We would love to do another with her when we come back again. May be this time we can hike up the Indian vester trail. The hike was a great adventure for us. Awesome experience.
It was a great hike. Kai was the best guide we could imagine, he knew so much stuff about the nature. Would absolutely do it again with him 10/10.
Kai was awesome. We had a smooth treck, properly Guided and with lovely photos to take back home. Nothing like a lovely conversation with your guide to the top and back. We had great time.
Amazing tour today by Kai. The route he took us was brilliant. He guided us along the route really well… explaining things along the way. Really lovely guy and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip! Thanks so much for the great photos too! Would highly recommend
Amazing tour with our guide, Kai. We asked him to give us a tour of Lions Head, last-minute, and he was very obliging and helpful. Kai was really informative and supportive during our tour and went above and beyond to become a personal photographer when we needed him. If we could give him more than 5 stars, we would. Super guide and even better person!
Kai was a great guide and the views in the way up were amazing! We highly recommend hiking up and taking in the surroundings
Had a wonderful hike with Kai. He made sure we were safe and took our time. Gave us plenty of time to take pictures. He even had water, tea and snack for us. We took some amazing pics!! Lots of great vistas.
This is a must do hike/tour in Cape Town! The early start (5am pick-up) was definitely worth it because by the time we were on our way down Lion's Head it was super busy. Kai was an incredible guide who made us feel at ease hiking and also taught us so much about Cape Town and everything we saw from the view. From the first time we inquired about the trip, Kai was so easy and enjoyable to work with. He also brought us water for the hike and snacks to share at the top. Along the way he took really sweet photos of us, which he sent right after we were done. 5 stars, 10 out of 10. An unforgettable experience.
An incredible experience with our guide Cara, a young woman who picked us up at the hotel for a climb on the Lions Head with sunset. After much walking, scrambling and climbing we came to a place for which it was far enough for us. Cara had brought coffee and grapes and sat quite high on the mountain in the sun. Lex and Lisette
What a fantastic experience! Our guide, Kieron, guided us in a great way towards the top and back again. Along the way he knew a lot about Cape Town's history and about the different plants on the route. Absolutely recommended! Kieron, thank you!
Just awesome! Perfect hike for half a day, accessible while enjoying stunning views of the entire Cape Town area. Our guide Elodye was amazing: teacher, funny and reassuring, we leave with all his good addresses and advice for the rest of the stay: thank you!!
