ALL ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE DAY

Lion's Head Guided Hike at Sunrise or Sunset

Experience the stunning views of Cape Town's iconic Lion's Head from a unique perspective with a knowledgeable guide as they take you on a memorable journey through the mountain.

Enjoy a Guided Hike for 3km at Sunrise or Sunset to the top of Lion's Head. Trekking alongside an expert guide and other hikers, you'll spend 3-5 hours exploring the famous mountain, whilst soaking up panoramic views of South Africa's capital city.

Your experience will begin upon arrival at the meeting location, where you'll be met by your other fellow hikers and friendly guide. Once you're all ready to embark on your hiking adventure, you and your group will begin on an easy track, steadily winding around the mountain side. With every turn you take, you'll be in awe at the extraordinary cityscape surrounding you, and the colours of the sky at sunset or sunrise are simply breath-taking. Although this route is only 3km, the terrain you cover will become tougher, but makes a perfect challenge for adventurist hikers. The hike to the summit aims to take 90 minutes, but you will be presented with plenty of opportunities to pause, take it all in, and capture lots of photos on your camera! The experienced guide will ensure you stay safe and comfortable throughout the journey, whilst also providing you with interesting facts and stories about the history and geography of the mountain. 

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just starting out, this Lion's Head Guided Hike at Sunrise or Sunset is a must-do activity for anyone visiting Cape Town, and makes the perfect experience gift for an ultimate adventure.
