    Fantastic Cape Town experience

    This is a brilliant tour and a ‘must do’ for any Cape Town trip. Excellent organisation and wonderful guide. We were so impressed by how friendly the staff were and how they balanced fun and safety for all participants. Highly recommended!

    Great family fun on signal hill and table mountain

    G and Sean were great hosts explaining all aspects of the routes to be taken and the instructions to all the family including our 11yr old daughter. Even though Table mountain is having numerous shutdowns at this time of year and also major works to the access roads, Sean and G had off road access routes up the mountain with great views. These routes added to the overall experience. A great few hours were had exploring and having loads of fun on table mountain and signal hill.

    Good scootering but let down by customer service

    Scootering itself was good fun. Not so good was parting with R250 for the photos taken by the guide/driver and then never receiving them - no response to my emails asking for photos either. Be wary of this.

    Response from the operator: Good day. Please send your details to capetown@scootours.co.za and we will look into this.

    Exciting self propelled rides

    These self propelled scooter rides are really great. Going down Signal Hill into the town and then back up to Table Mountain and meeting in town again was a nice change.

    Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How much does Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.

    Is Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cape Town?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cape Town?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cape Town?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain?

    +

    Included: Qualified Guide; Helmets; and Safari Style Transport to the top of each run. Not included: Food and drinks; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain?

    +

    Table Mountain Kloofnek parking area also called the Lower Table Mountain Parking area Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain?

    +

    Is Gravity Scooter and Urban Safari on Table Mountain wheelchair or stroller accessible?
