One of the more challenging hikes, with amazing views and is worth the effort. Dont forget to bring some snacks and lots of water. If you still have some energy left, take a detour and head up to Maclears beacon, cheers!

Probably one of the best hikes ive ever done and in my opinion its the best way to get up the mountain to start hiking towards Table Mountain. About 95% of this trail is shaded. Theres so much variety with the terrain. You start on gravel and then enter a lush forest. Youll have the sound of a flowing stream accompanying you throughout the trail. Youll see some ladders that you need to climb and youll be ascending a rocky stream which is so much fun. Youll pass a small waterfall and be in awe of the amazing view as you start reaching the top. Right at the top youll find a surprise. Its a super awesome hike, do it!

We did the hike for Womens Day this month. Went up Skeleton Gorge and down Nursery Ravine. Breath taking view, beautiful sights and an unforgettable experience.

Stunning hike up to the dams. If youre looking to do a loop, combine it with Nirsery Ravine which is just to the left of teddy bear mountain.

The most beautiful waterfall in Cape Town

This is always an amazing experience when going, mentally, physically and when with friends/family, even better memories!

A very pleasant hike from Kirstenbosch up to Table Mountain with the kids. Some climbing sections on rockfaces or ladders. At the top are breathtaking views of the city and the Hottentots Hollands range. Worthwhile returning down via Nursery Ravine, the whole lap taking about 2h30m

Cool (not) hike on contour path from Constania Nek to above Kirstenbosch

One of Cape Towns Supreme Hiking and walking destinations. Beautiful mountains, hidden waterfalls, lushful gardens amke this a must see and visit.

A walk every person in Cape Town must do. Great walk, great views

Very intense hike trail. But beautiful scenery 🌺 worth going all the way to the top. As they say.. No Pain, no gain

If you are going for the hike, remember warm clothing and a jacket.

Great for a hike, popular with trail runners

A fun and challenging hike , pretty steep but worth the climb. Not recommended if its rainy season , dangerous when slippery.

One of my favorite hikes!

A hard walk, but so worth it.

Very challenging hike, make sure youre prepared. Not for amateurs.

NOT a walk in the park but rewarding on the top

If you are fit, this hike is fantastic and you will probably thoroughly enjoy it. If you are very unfit like me, you will not be able to walk properly for the next day or two, your leg muscles and joints will suffer, it is a hectic incline.That said, the suffering was well worth it! Stunning views and the gorge is just beautiful as well.I suggest you make the most of it and push on to Maclears Beacon which is the highest point on the Cape Peninsula for an even better, 360 degree view of the Cape!

Beautiful hike. Can be challenging depending on your pace. There is a short ladder climb. I also did nursery ravine and liked it a bit better.

Awesome Hike

Great hike with loads of shade. Its not easy if youre unfit, but its worth it once you make your way up. They provide ladders and set walk ways where needed. Once you reach the reservoir, you can go for a swim. It also allows you to take alternative routes back if you want a change of scenery.

Awesome!

Easily my favorite hike up the mountain through beautiful gardens follow signs to the start takes 1.5 hours of fairly tough hiking quite steep paths some climbing involving ladders then a waterfall. At the top of the hike there is lots of dams and amazing scenery. You can choose to hike to maclears beacon that takes another 1.5 hours then cable car station another hour. Or any of others hikes back down. But skeleton gorge is the easiest way to get back down and have a sleep on the grass in kirstenboch reflecting on the view of where you just hiked. Dont do this hike later than 10am or you will open to the elements in baking sun.

Gorgeous.

Beautiful hike!

Great adventure, very challenging. A fake beach Woah what a place to be! 💓

A hiking trail must for all nature lovers. Exceptional natural beauty and variety to experience.

Be prepared to sweat and climb! Beautiful and you are rewarded when you get to the top with the Hely-Hutchinson Reservoir.

Awesome hike! It was worth for us even though it was totally misty.

The hike up Skeleton Gorge

Very, very beautiful, steep, varied path, choose clear weather, unfortunately we hiked into the fog. Then had no view from above. In the entrance area of ​​the Kerstenbosch Botanical Garden, a very nice lady gave us information and a map.
