Table Mountain: Skeleton Gorge Guided Hike to Upper Station Discount Tickets

Overview

This guided hike offers a rare opportunity to reach the highest point of Table Mountain via the lush Skeleton Gorge, starting in the world-famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Unlike busier routes, this trail winds through cool indigenous forest, streams, and waterfalls, with exciting ladder sections that add a sense of adventure. Led by a qualified, registered mountain guide, you’ll enjoy a small-group, safety-focused experience with local insight you won’t get hiking alone. Reaching Maclear’s Beacon is a true achievement, rewarded with sweeping summit views — and the flexibility to descend by cable car or on foot, depending on conditions and preference.
