The cable car floor rotates so that you will see 360 degree views irrespective of where you start off. We arrived at 4:30pm and could park close to the cable car station and there was no queue for tickets or the cable car itself. Enjoyed walking around at the top, then had to queue for 15 mins to get the cable car down at 6pm.

We were the last cable car up for the day. The wind was very gusty but the trip was so well worth it. The views were incredible and we really enjoyed our time a top the mountain . Well worth the time and effort

Amazing views of Cape Town, Camps Bay etc.. The cable car floor rotates 360 degrees while travelling to the top so everyone gets a great view of Cape Town and mountains during the short trip. We paid the extra for fast track ticket to bypass the long queue, definitely worth it as we were on a tight time schedule and spent 1.5 hours on mountain top.

We (family 3Adults, 2Kids) almost missed this due to bad weather. We got lucky and the weather cleared up just enough for us to enjoy this wonderful place. About the experience: You go up on a very quick cable car up. It hardly takes 5 minutes to reach up. The cable car floor is rotating so it doesn’t matter where you stand. You are going to get a 360 degree view while going up. There are 3 walking routes up table mountain. We did the 2nd as that is an appropriate time and distance which covers most of the views. Terrain is flat and easy to walk. Views are amazing and different from different points. Cable car down is the same experience as going up. Before you enter they take your photo not turned out to be very good and we bought it for 250 Rand which seemed like a decent price. Overall we spent approximately 3 hours. Other useful logistical hints Check the table mountain website for 1. Of the cable car is working 2. Weather and view. We went up when weather was Mild and View was intermittent. 3. Wait times. Helps you guesstimate the crowds and expected wait times We were self driving and found a parking spot close to the cable car entrance. Going in afternoon is cheaper than going in morning. That worked well for us as it was a cloudy few days and afternoons seemed to clear up and not too cold Take layers of clothing as weather can change during your visit. We put on/off our jackets at various times during our visit depending on the weather changing and sun.

Part of our Gate 1 tour , we attempted twice to ascend to the top of Tablemountain, however the winds were strong so the mountain was closed. Check the weather before going in order not to be disappointed. If you go in morning, the lineups for cable car is quite long ( 1 1/2 hour) . However we did find out that you can pay a little more and get the express ticket... The views as you go up are breathtaking. Once at the summit, you can walk around , take in , the astonishing views. It can get quite windy so bring yourself a jacket. There is a coffee shop, restaurant with a bar and of course gift shops. The views going down are as magical. If you are fit, you can hike up on this trail..This is a must to visit..

Unless you fancy a massive trek them this is the only way up to the top of table mountain. We got there for about 9.30am so glad we did as an hours wait the queue had more than doubled. Please be aware there are a lot of steps involved before entering the cable cart. Tickets we purchased ours with the big red bus your and glad we did as didn’t like the idea of queuing twice. The cable cart rotates so everyone gets a full view on the way up and down which is great for everyone as there are about 60 people cart. It was smooth ride and pleasant trip up to the top. I personally thought it was great and loved our trip to the top.

Views were amazing! cool place to walk around, get a beer or a coffee at the top with bite to eat, and take your time enjoying the 365 degree views. Get your ticket at the Citibus Hop on Hop Off tour office at the Waterfront and hop on the Citibus to get there. Avoid the hassle of trying to park.

You can’t visit Cape Town and not visit Table Mountain to see the views…it’s a fantastic experience. We used the hop on hop off Red bus to take us to the bottom terminal of the Table Mountain Cable car. Advice pre book cable car ticket so you don’t have to wait on a queue. The cable car gives you fantastic views of the city, mountains nearby, coastline, rugby stadium and Robben Island. The cable car floor rotates 360 degrees as it moves up to the top terminal station, so everyone in the cable car gets an opportunity to see the views. There is a cafe, restaurant and bar facilities at the top of Table Mountain and fantastic views of the surrounding countryside…well worth the visit.

I've been in Cape Town for 20 years, but I've never done Table Mountain. It always looked so dry and boring, but this year, I took the cable car. It was spectacular. We were lucky to go when the cloud was just below the top with the mountain peaks breaking through. We did a lazy stroll at the top, but it was beautifully put together. They had info plaques everywhere, and the pathways were immaculate. ALL the staff were cheery and lovely, and every single one wished me happy birthday. This is one of the best touristy things I've ever done. The hiking trails look a bit evil, so I'm not going to do any of them until I've developed a bit more skill. Re: queues: We arrived at 8:00 on a weekday, so we didn't have to queue. We went towards the end of November just before tourist season. The lunch spot did get crazy at 12:00, but a morning visit is totally doable at this time of year. Just don't eat at the top. The food is terrible and totally overpriced.

Visited on a sunny day. Excellent views and I enjoyed the ride up and down. A tip for others- pay the small amount for the option of arriving at a certain time. We queued for nearly 2 hours. Was worth it but took a big chunk of the day.
