Overview
Table Mountain is a hugely popular attraction but this tour lets you escape the crowds by exploring the back of the mountain. In a small group of no more than eight people, hike from the botanical gardens to the cableway passing Maclear's Beacon, the highest point on the mountain. Along the way pass through forest, past waterfalls, and through pristine fynbos with views all the way down the Peninsula.
