Hey – If you’re new here, I’m Amy! I’m originally from Toronto, Canada but have spent over 7 months living and working in Cape Town. It quickly became one of my favourite cities in the world, as I made friends with locals and was shown the incredible beauty of the Western Cape!
All my tips come from personal experience, as well as from my local friends who were born and raised in Cape Town.
Hike Overview: Duration and How to Get There
The hike is a SUPER quick and easy one that only takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the top (no more than 1 hour return). It’s only 1.5km and will take you up a windy trail until you reach the stairs to take you to the very top. The stairs are pretty steep but it’s an easy hike if you take it slow!
To get to the start of the trailhead, you can use Uber, Bolt or drive there yourself. You’ll find the exact starting point of the hike on the map below! There’s a marked trail across from some parking on the mountain so it’s very easy to find.
