Overview

Lion's Head hike is a tour which we recommend to those looking for the best scenic views of Cape Town. The aerial views on Lion's Head are better than those you get while hiking Table Mountain or on other routes. While this hike is the easiest of the Cape Town treks because of the short duration it takes to submit the mountain, a guide is still advised because we would like to share our expert knowledge of the trail with you on a 3 hour hike which takes you from your hotel or accommodation in Cape Town and gets you to the highest point above Lion's Head which is approximately 669 meters above sea level.

Enjoy a complimentary hotel pickup and transfer from your centrally located Cape Town accommodations to the Lion's Head hike. Before hiking, take part in a short safety briefing. Then, you’ll be ready for your 4-hour scenic hike over Cape Town.

Departing from the Lion's Head trail, you'll first head to Lion's Head summit to take in the stunning views over Cape Town. After exploring the view over Cape Town, head back toward the starting point. While on the hike, look to take photographs. Other sights during the Lion's Head hike include South African nature.

With a live English Speaking guide, get to know the best places on Lion's Head as you enjoy the incredible views. Your professional guide will provide expert commentary along the way. After the completion of your hike, enjoy the worry-free transfer in a courtesy vehicle back to your hotel in Cape Town.

It’s an absolutely wonderful hike at sunset. You need to get lucky with the weather over spring time, but for us it was just the perfect time. It was also so much fun watching the paragliders taking off at the hill side. Barry was such a lovely guide and shared all his knowledge about the city and surroundings. I came to Cape Town as a solo traveler, so I didn’t want to hike alone and this was just the perfect solution. I highly recommend it!

Prompt pick up, friendly guide. 3.5 hours round trip from the carpark. The staple and chain sections were great fun, nothing too strenuous, and great pace. We arrived to the top about 10 mins before sunset, lovely views along the way and from the top. Would highly recommend.

I took a sunset hike up Lions Head to view the sunset from the mountain top. The sunset was mesmerising, terrain a bit challenging at times but the hike was worth the scramble. Sunset melted into the night on the way back and with a bit of moonlight and night lamp lighting the way, city lights to admire, cheerful hikers encouraging each other and expert guidance from my guide I would say that this was an evening well spent.

This hike (climb) is challenging. The last half of the hike is actually a climb similar to rock climbing. You should be in decent physical condition as you will be required to climb using chains and ladders and pulling yourself up with your hands. The view at the top was spectacular. The descent was also challenging which was compounded by darkness after the sunset. Our tour guide’s assistant was amazing and made us feel safe throughout the hike.
