Tranquility Cracks is one of the best lesser-known Table Mountain spots and hiking up to it with an experienced guide is certainly well worth the sweat! Although this day hike doesn't take you to the summit plateau (with city bowl views and the cable car) it does allow for a gorgeous day of hiking in a quieter section of Table Mountain and offers superb views over the Atlantic Seaboard in good weather and an overall unique mountain experience. - Table Mountain Experts - Local in-depth knowledge of the Fauna & Flora of Table Mountain - Incredible Views of Camp's Bay and the 12 Apostles range - Tranquility Cracks is a rock outcrop with amazing formations, fissures and cracks - Quieter Trail away from the masses

    Tranquility cracks

    Incredible experience. Justin was an outrageously knowledgeable guide. His knowledge of the terrain is invaluable, and also his recognition of the slightest frog or bird noise will blow you away. Will book again. Already planning to.

    Amazing hike with the best expert guide!

    Our guide Justin Hawthorne was FANTASTIC! He was so passionate and knowledgeable and taught is so much about the animals and plants native to the area. We really enjoyed our day and the hike was exhilarating. We felt very safe having Justin as our guide but most of all his passion and knowledge made this hike our best experience in cape town. Thanks for taking great care of us and bringing us snacks!

    Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 750 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 Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles?

    +

    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 Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles?

    +

    Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles 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 Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles?

    +

    Included: Professional Guide. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles?

    +

    We meet at the mountain access in Theresa Avenue, Camp's Bay area and marked as "Camps Bay Trail Route" on Google Maps. Uber has the location as "Kasteelpoort - Starting Point". Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles 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 Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tranquility Cracks Private Hike on Table Mountain's 12 Apostles if the weather is bad?

    +
