Join our sunset Hike up Lion’s Head and make friends from around the world while soaking up Cape Town’s famous sunsets from the best vantage point possible!

• The hike up to the summit takes roughly 1.5 hours but passes many incredible viewpoints and the trail is very exciting in places!

• After enjoying the summit views and photo opportunities we will hike down to a quieter viewpoint to sip some hot tea/coffee and watch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. 

• Once the sun sets we hike safely back down with head torches as the city lights start to glow beneath us.

You'll have the following stops:
