- Resort572906982874 contributionsThis is an absolute must do in Cape Town. The views at the top are stunning. Make sure to go when the weather is clear.
It feels very safe at the top and you can do some self-guided walks. There's also a restaurant, toilets and gift shop at the top.Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

More people turned up before the first cable car at 8:00am.
The cable car holds 64 people and has a rotating floor, so you get great panoramic views on the trip.
I spent about 40 minutes at the top and there was only one other person in the cable car on the way down.
This was a fantastic experience.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Prashan WilfredLondon, UK375 contributionsIt's like this magical garden from heaven. The backdrop is just WOW!!

Vibrant area with lots going on. Great during the day and at night. The tour boat trip was informative. The seal platforms are amazing could stand and watch them for hours.Written March 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeff O1 contributionA Must visit when you are in Cape Town You can visit on a tur or go on your own. Its about 60 minutes from Cape Town City CentralWritten March 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Malaika HSao Paulo, SP7 contributionsNow I know where Google, Apple & Amazon take those amazing photos of natural beauty, its REAL and its around the Cape of Good Hope! Simply stunning views but sadly you cannot spend much time there since the wind is literally blowing you away and its hard to stay firm on your feet there. Must go visit, must take the photo by the sign and absorb as much of it as you possibly can for as long as you can handle.
There is a walking path from the Cape of Good Hope to the Cape Point, it is supposedly 1.5 hrs return. However, the wind can be so strong that it makes it hard to actually walk this path without falling (someone from my family did fall twice). And parts of this path are steep and rocky so please be very careful and go with a group. There is zero cel. phone coverage in this area.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The ride out to the elephants was fun and all the safety guidelines all made sense. The visits with elephants was gentle and elephants were a joy to be around. We stayed at the lodge and that aspect seem disorganized even at 3:30 pm we were waiting to get to our room. The restaurant left a lot to be desired. Staff there seemed disinterested and service reflected this. Our breakfast came piecemeal with our juices showing up when we were finished. There were only two other couples.Written March 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pioneer7426154 contributionsMe and my partner visited CPT and booked this trip not knowing much about hiking… what can I say. It was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Kurt was extremely knowledgeable and kept us safe the entire way up the mountain.
Breathing taking views we will never forget.
One of our favourite memories of our trip here and high recommend to anyone thinking of doing this hike to go with Kurt!
Great for older families, couples and single travellers who want to push themselves out their comfort zone.
Thank you once again Kurt for this experience!Written February 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The exhibits were moving and gut wrenching. They get into your soul. The most intriguing was the videos of people attempting to make excuses for their crimes against humanity. This exhibit is not for the faint of heart. The people affected have been traumatized and are finding ways to heal and live. The Nelson Mandela exhibit was immersive and very informative.Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tita ElvieCanada102 contributionsWOW. What a hike. If you are physically able, definitely do the full loop. It is stunning. Make sure to pack water and snacks. You are fairly exposed to the sun, so bring a hat and sunscreen. I think I took a million photos! There's a gorgeous beach too where you can sit in the sand.
Also, make sure to visit the kiosk with the drinks and snacks. It was such a blessing to get an iced chai latte after the long hike while overlooking the water at the picnic tables!! Never seen such a cool kiosk at a trail head.Written March 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
