What To Expect
You don’t need to pick the perfect trail - we’ll do that for you. This guided Table Mountain hike is designed around the day’s weather, visibility, and your energy levels to make sure you enjoy the mountain safely and at your own pace. Led by Marié, a qualified local mountain guide and lifelong hiker, each experience combines nature, culture, and connection - with plenty of laughter (and coffee) along the way. We hike slowly enough to see and smell the mountain. Fresh coffee, fynbos stories, and local snacks along the way turn it into more than a climb - it’s a morning on the mountain with friends.

Best Coffee Spot in Cape Town

5.00An early Friday morning excursion up Table Mountain was the ideal ending to our trip. A smooth cable car journey delivered us to the top - where we were speechless at the views of the ocean and city below. Marie began with a thorough safety briefing and promise of egg sandwiches (two very important components to the morning.) We did a loop to Maclear's Beacon (the HIGHEST point on the mountain!) A gorgeous hike with very accessible paths and breathtaking views. Each section had its own character in plant diversity which Marie described to us in detail. Super interesting to be able to delve into the vegetation and history of the ecosystem. Freshly brewed coffee and sandwiches on at the beacon were such a treat, with extra local snacks such as koeksisters and rusks. Super thoughtful and delicious addition to the morning. Honestly the best coffee spot in Cape Town. We absolutely LOVED our experience and would highly recommend Marie as a guide, for Table Mountain and beyond. We will definitely be back.
Fantastic Top of Table Mountain loop hike with great guide!

5.00Marie van Klipspring is a great guide. Enthusiastic, friendly, and knows a lot about the area. She told us about the mountains and the vegetation. And together with us she chose which hiking trail we would take. She even made fresh cappuccino for us up in the mountain. It was wonderful and thanks a lot Marie!
Great walk, great guide!

A Perfect Day on Table Mountain

5.00Klipspring will give you an unforgettable mountain experience! Marié guided us safely up the back side of Table Mountain, far away from the crowds. She is incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about South Africa’s nature and culture. We also enjoyed the most amazing breakfast with the most stunning view — the perfect reward after the climb! If you’re looking for an authentic, personal, and truly memorable day in the mountains, look no further. And if you’re really lucky, you’ll be accompanied by the cutest mountain dog ever!
Cape Point Overnight Hike a Must-Do

5.00Did an overnight hike of the Cape Point with Marie with five other women. Absolutely loved it. Everyone was lovely under Marie’s expert guidance. We hiked the False Bay side of the Point first, slept at Erica bunk, and hiked the Atlantic coast on day 2. The food, conversation and camaraderie were lovely. Marie paced us well, peppering the days with coffee/tea and snacks, and lots of stories of the fynbos as well as the histories of the Cape. Cannot wait for my next hike with Marie!
Great tours in the Cape Town area.

5.00Jane and I had a good trip up to Table Mountain with Marie. Despite the white out and poor visibility we had an enjoyable tour on top of the mountain and stopped for tea and snacks. Marie was a great guide sharing the history of the area and we had a good tour of the coastline on our return to the hotel. If you’re in Cape Town and wanting to visit Table Mountain and Cape Point then Marie provides a great service. Many thanks! Phil and Jane Keet from the UK.
Fabulous hike for a family and a baby in a backpack!

5.00We had such a wonderful time with Klipspring Hikes! Marie was super responsive and on it when it came to organising the hike, and Jarrod was a wonderful guide. It was a particularly windy day so our hike to Kasteelsport was carefully and thoughtfully tailored to our needs, and thankfully Jarrod brought extra layers, just in case, which we desperately needed. It was perfect for our fitness levels, even while carrying a 1.5 year old in our hiking backpack, and we got such beautiful views. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!
