Trailing up to the diving board was probably the hardest yet most fun hike of my life. Not very steep but rocky. There were no overgrown shrubs on the trail. Pack some water and youll be set. The views are amazing.

A lovely hike, for beginners. Not your average easy walk, but something that is challenging, but with views that will entice you to keep moving forward and upward. Nor to mention the surfboard once upon the peak!

A nice and scenic climb. Moderate fitness required as its a bit steep here and there but well worth it for the view.

This was such an amazing experience. My first hike in CT. Going up was very hard but all worth the pain. Stunning views and a beautiful scenic route. Will do it again.

My favourite hike by far. Starting from here leaves you many options, with the obvious being Kasteelpoort. You can also access Corridor, Porcupine, Diagonal as well as Woody Ravine and the pipetrack. The start is quite tough, same as Lion’s Head, which discourages a lot of people - but it lasts only 2-4min and then you get to pipetrack which is relatively flat and you can access your trail of choice from there.

The hike is 4 hours long, one of my favourites

Kasteelspoort is a lovely hike. You can choose to go as far as you like before turning back. Even on an overcast day in Spring its refreshing. Some steep bits which some may need help with but there are chains to hold onto.

This route is very pleasant. It has a great view of the ocean and lots of flora. The path is more on the easy side of Table Mountain routes while still giving a great experience plus it is much less crowded than Platteklip Gorge. If I come here I usually go up Kasteelpoort and down Woody ravine.

The view is therapy. I started from Constantia Nek and go down woody Ravine. There are always people so if you are alone you can go and meet up others along the way.

One of the easier routes to the top of the mountain. The path ends near the 2 dams on top of the mountain from which there are many places to see. A lovely 2 hour hike for beginner hikers of table mountain. The path is easy to follow and paths are mostly marked out. For the best experience, I would recommend going with someone who knows the mountain.

Taking the Theresa Avenue jeep track to access any of the routes from the Pipe Track trail is a popular option and as such quite busy and there is no dedicated parking at the entrance. You have to park on the narrow streets in the area.The initial ascent is quite steep but tapers off at the junction to Pipe Track.From the Pipe Track you can ascend via any of the ravines (including Kasteelpoort, Woody, Diagonal, etc).

Easy to find! Google Maps directs you to the exact starting point. Be cautious on your drive up, as the roads are very narrow with sudden sharp turns. Parking is also not the best - better to lift club/carpool. Absolutely beautiful!

Wow..what a challenge but very rewarding!

One of the best hiking trails

Kasteelspoort is an amazing hike. We started from Theresa Ave in Camps Bay. Its not too intense the initial climb is quite steep. Beautiful views from the top. Their is a view point called the diving board (one of the pics below.) Once at the top you can explore and venture off on some other trails, there are a few other options down but will add quite a bit of time. You can also take the cable car down. Took us 3.10 hrs up and down (6.5km round trip / Elevation gain 615m) with a 20 min chill/snack/pics at the top. Highly recommend this hike. Make sure to have enough water and a warm top as the weather can change quickly at the top.

Started from Theresa Avenue, not too long. Just steep towards the top but the view is absolutely amazing. Need to be moderately fit. Loved it

Lovely trail, although it was misty we enjoy it and had to come another day to see the view, amazing!!

Good hiking trail up to the diving board

Awesome hike with great people.

The parking is a mess. Its in a suburban area and the streets are narrow. Kasteelpoort is a breathtaking route to hike, but the problem is to park your vehicle

One of my favorite hikes in Cape Town!Its a tough climb, but well worth it when you reach the top!The views are exquisite and ever-changing, depending on the weather.

A hard walk up Diagonal but even harder going down.... very unfit

Great view, moderate hike

Quick hike, accessible from plenty of routes on the mountain. Not much shade cover. Medium difficulty. There’s a flat rock that’s perfect for taking photos. The hike length is about 50 minutes from the start of the pipe track without stops.

Had a lovely hike up Kasteelpoort with a good friend of mine.

Awesome intermediate intensity trail, get there early as parking become a problem.

Tough hike for the faint. Just push on. Well well worth it! It ends in the dams or a 2 hour walk to the cable car.

Very nice hike if you are looking for a easy hike. The view from breakfast Rock stunning.

The best ever hiking trail route.

Kasteels is one of the best hikes you can do up Table Mountain if you are a beginner. Relatively easy route, well marked and an awesome cliff overhang that leaves you with a seriously dope photo moment. Easy access to valley of the red gods, and the resoirvoirs.

Good start to get to the points of various trails

Amazing views, great hiking trails.

Good service all the time 😍keep it up

Nice view and good route for hiking to the table mountain 🗻 🤙.

This is an awesome hike. It is slightly longer than Platteklip to get to the top, but way easier. The diving board is a great place for photos. Be careful on windy days and always be prepared for the weather, which could turn rather quickly.

The hike starts at a small road. A dirt road leads up to the hiking stairs. Most parts are marked and easy to find. Make sure to go early in the morning as the sun gets really strong. There are no trees to give shade on the way. The Diving Board on the top is most rewarding! Stunning view over camps bay.

Loved it, parking is just a bit limited so best to get there early.

What an incredible hike. Kasteelspoort can get busy and parking in Teresa Ave can be bleak. Take lots of water and sun cream, its a good hike to enjoy and take in the best views. #CapeTown #Amazing

This walk guves you great views of the ocean while hiking to the top of table mountain..

It was awesome. I hiked up woody buttress route and the views were beautiful but its not a safe route for inexperienced hikers.

We actually came down this way having started at Skelton gorge from Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens. It takes 2 and a bit hours down and has spectacular views.

Brilliant hike, definitely requires a decent level of fitness

Beautiful part of the mountain to hike and in my own personal experience very safe , friendliest hiking community , this area of the mountain has been maintain very well its unusual to see any litter or dig mess , beautiful places to explore including my favourite woody Ravine, wear good shoes with solid grip as sone paths are scramble paths. Its a gentle home ifvyou follow the pipe track . Abundance of bird life and stunning views of the mountain as you come out of woody Ravine.

Lovely hike. Can be tricky as some areas need more than just a step up to continue . Easy for all ages

One of the best starting points for a number of hiking routes up Table Mountain. Parking is limited so go early if you are doing a morning hike - else try to use public transport. Make sure you don’t park on a red or yellow line as traffic officials will write you a ticket.

One of my favourite hikes !! Can be a little challenging for a late afternoon hike as it isn’t shaded in the start !! But worth the view

A must do hike. Lots of alternative paths so you can really explore the place. Reservoirs at the top as well as some caves on the routes.

Highly recommend this hike....loved it

Great start to the hike, but there is severely limited parking.

Great hiking from here. Get there early to get good parking

Challenging but worth the effort

Amazing place to escape from the city enjoy reservoir swims and starry nights. Nike hike up!

Its a strenuous hike

If you live in cape Town.. And you love the outdoors this should be on you list of TO Do Things. No.. I do not do bucket list stuff..

Did Woody Ravine today and came down Kasteelspoort. It was a hot day but nice and cool in the shade going up Woody. There was a bit of traffic up Woody and quite a bit more going back down Kasteelspoort but thats to be expected on such a popular route

Nice walk but limited parking.

Clearly marked from Theresa avenue...a more challenging but scenic route

Beautiful but very steep and quite long

The start in Theresa Avenue can be a bit crowed by all the cars parked. Make sure to there early on a sunny day & you definitely wont regret this one!

Love the space and the view

The perfect launch point to access Table Mountain.

What amazing views

The path up Kasteels is old but well built and maintained. One of the classic types. The views are unbeatable and equal to so many other paths up Table Mountain. A visit to the site of the old cable car station at the top of KP that transported the materials for the building of the reservoirs, around 1900, on top is an interesting detour.

A must do table mountain route!

Great hike up one way done another

Friendly owners very clean and follow Covid-19 regulations

Such a great hike, I recommend going on a day where the wind is not as strong. The hike becomes more strenuous when the wind is strong and unpleasant.

Classic hiking route to the top of Table Mountain

Long and though route up with many steps and rocks but beside that the views are amazing and even though it looks high and looks like it will take many hours, it is not that bad. The best is when you are walking down except your feet start to hurt. But when you get to the top, you will notice that it was worth it.

Always a beauty 🙌

A most beautiful, strait forward way up the mountain.

If you love nature thats the right place to be.

Stunning hike along the pipe track

Great experience and nice View

High up on the mountains at Kasteelspoort at Bakoven the starting point for this hiking trail begins,, it is demanding specially if ur not used to hiking anymore,,,,Temperature of the day 36c ,,,,the views from up there is definitely worth it ,,, we worked our way to the cable car and what a welcome relief that was,,,,A 5 to 6 hours hiking depending on your abilities and fitness levels,, Do take enough water with you,,,make sure ur cellphone is fully charged and at least a group of no less then 4 for safety

The start of amazing hiking trails

Wonderful place

Nice and lovely

One of the most beautiful hikes in town

Amazing experience.

Must be the best walk up

Nice hike up by the twelve apostles and summitting on to the table mountain..we did in about 2.5 hours with decent pace but can take longer depending on the fitness of the group...the view is amazingYou will experience nature with many waterfalls along the way...quiet tranquilI did it in winter with alot of fog/cloud and no view but that made it all the more refreshing and nice workout...can be challenging depending on fitness level.

Very good

Stunning view, but not for the novice. Hour up and a hour down is good pace.

The view and surrounding areas are breathtaking

Beautiful hike to do on a mid morning, with partial shade in the latter half. Breathtaking ocean views from the top.

Nice hiking trail.

A beautiful, scenic walk, where the very first Cable car was put up in assisting with the build of the Reservoirs.

One of the more interesting trails. Hike up and go to Tranquility Crack, Diving Board, etc and avoid the busy hike from Cable Car station.

Easy to moderate hike and has two favorite view points being 1) Breakfast Rock and 2) The surfboard like rock as you top out and to your right you will see this popular Rock with its amazing view point affording you great vistas.

The start of many trails on the Atlantic side of Table Mountain. When hiking, make sure you follow the basics and dont hike alone. Google Hikers Network for safety tips and more information on SafetyMountain Tracking.

Lovely easy way up to the top of Table Mountain

Chilled start..

Always a treat! Its a rocky steep climb! Perseverance needed! Views are always worth it!

Probably the nicest amongst the easy walks to get to the top of Table Mountain. Much nicer than Platteklip, although a bit longer.

Great Walk up the mountain. Dams on top are beautiful. Good exercise. Gets the heart pumping.

Favourite route to hike up table mountain, sunsets never disappoint.

Not for beginners

Awesome hike

Easy hike with a gradual ascent. Amazing views of Camps Bay.
