LION'S HEAD SLOW HIKE

Service Description

Tour Description and Highlights: (The best time to do this tour would be during sunrise or sunset) • Begin your adventure with a morning hike up the iconic Lion’s Head, the beloved pride of Cape Town peak known for its 360° panoramic views of Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles, and the sparkling Atlantic coastline. The hike typically takes 2–3 hours round trip, depending on your pace and photo stops along the way. • As you wind your way up the mountain’s spiraling path, your guide will share captivating insights into Lion’s Head’s unique geology, fynbos vegetation, and cultural significance - from its role in Cape Town’s history to the full moon traditions that make it a local favorite. Expect plenty of storytelling, local lore, and a few hidden viewpoints that most visitors miss. • At the top, you’ll pause for our signature “trailside tea”, served at a picturesque lookout with breathtaking views. Enjoy a flakey pastry and a freshly brewed coffee, perfectly paired with the scenery. • After summiting Lion’s Head and soaking up the spectacular city and ocean vistas, you’ll make a leisurely descent back down to the trailhead. • Upon reaching the end of the hike, your guide will share a local hidden gem ~ a café, bistro, or restaurant cherished by Capetonians, where you can enjoy brunch, lunch, or dinner. It’s the perfect way to celebrate your climb and experience Cape Town like a true local.
