Top Western Cape Rail Passes

Journey to the rugged Cape Point promontory without the effort of climbing uphill. The Flying Dutchman funicular saves effort and promises magnificent views. From the lower station at the Cape Point parking lot, you'll soar through dense foliage and fynbos to the upper lighthouse from where the views of the Atlantic Ocean are spectacular.

The line runs from a lower station at the Cape Point car park, up an incline through dense fynbos to the upper lighthouse. The funicular leaves from the lower station every three minutes, comfortably accommodates 40 passengers per car, and can transport 450 persons to the upper lighthouse per hour, making it the ideal way to whisk closer to the lighthouse even during peak times.
