    2. Table Mountain Aerial Cableway

      When you think of Cape Town, you think of Table Mountain. Another highlight of this tour is the iconic Table Mountain, which will be our last stop. The mountain is rich in diverse wildlife, including rare species that can only be found in this area. The mountain forms part of Table Mountain National Park which is globally recognised for its biodiversity with its truly unique and incredibly beautiful fauna and flora. At the upper cable station, you will find a network of footpaths to explore the table top. Get your camera ready, though. The views are simply stunning all around the top of the mountain. Table Mountain stands tall and proud as an iconic natural wonder in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa. With its breathtaking views, diverse flora and fauna and historical significance, Table Mountain is perhaps best known for its flat top which, because it resembles a table top, has garnered the mountain its now famous name. Cable car operation is also weather dependent.

Because it has a sand bottom and gentle rolling waves, perfect for beginner surfers, it is one of the reasons why it is a perfect place to learn to surf.

Your guide will give a brief history of the town and we tell you stories of many interesting things that you will be seeing such as the Just Nuisance. Simon’s Town is named after Simon van der Stel, the Dutch governor of the Cape Colony in the late 17th century. The town was established as a naval base by the British in the early 19th century and has been an important part of South Africa’s naval history ever since.

    Good Tour

    Nice driver. He was flexible and skipped the line for us with the penguins which was nice. I would recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Dear Kerri, thank you for the positive review and your kind words for your tour guide. It means a great deal to us that we have earned your trust and confidence. We hope to see you again.

    Who is Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour best for?

    +

    It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour good value?

    +

    It is fairly priced. It starts at R 1,200, close to the R 1,275 typical for similar experiences in Cape Town.

    How much does Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 1,200 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 Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour?

    +

    Around 0 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Table Mountain and Boulders Beach Discovery Tour 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, Cape Town Airport Private Transfer, Ocean Wildlife Encounter in Cape Town. 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.
