Common Questions
Is the cableway ticket to Table Mountain included?
Yes—on the all-inclusive private option the Table Mountain Cableway ticket and park fees for Cape Point and Boulders Beach are included.
Will we see African penguins up close?
Yes—the boardwalk at Boulders Beach allows close viewing while protecting the colony; sightings are common but never guaranteed.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
Many stops (Boulders boardwalks, some viewpoints) are wheelchair accessible; contact the operator about vehicle options and mobility needs when booking.
What happens if Table Mountain is closed due to weather?
Guides monitor the weather live and will pivot the itinerary—often visiting Bo-Kaap or the Atlantic Seaboard first to maximize views later in the day.
