You'll meet your guide at the Lion’s Head trailhead and begin a scenic hike up the spiral path, navigating fun rocky sections with the support of a certified local guide. For sunrise hikes, we start in the dark and hike into the light — headlamps are provided. For sunset hikes, we descend after the sun sets — headlamps will also be provided to ensure a safe return. Along the way, we’ll pause to rest, take photos, and enjoy views of Table Mountain, Camps Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. At the summit, you’ll soak in breathtaking sunrise or sunset views before hiking back down together. Expect a fun, social, and soul-filling experience!
