Cape Town: Lion's Head Hike Sunrise coffee/tea Pick-up Drop off Discount Tickets

Overview

Make your Cape Town adventure unforgettable with a personalized small-group hike up Lion’s Head, limited to just 7 guests for a relaxed, intimate experience. As the trail winds around the mountain, you’ll enjoy ever-changing panoramic views at every turn. At the summit, stand on the famous Lion’s Head “Instagram rock” and take in breathtaking 360-degree views—one of the best vantage points on the mountain. A sunrise hike is highly recommended for cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and stunning morning light. Along the way, you may spot rock hyraxes (dassies), lizards, or even porcupines, while discovering the unique Cape fynbos found nowhere else in the world. You’ll also experience Lion’s Head’s fascinating geology, from Cape granite at the base to sandstone near the top. Tea or coffee included on our morning sunrise hike. Traveling with friends? A private hiking option for up to seven people is available for a truly exclusive and memorable Cape Town experience.
