Cape Town Hiking Trails

The Hiking Trails in and around Cape Town and the Western Cape are numerous, endless kilometers of beauty and discovery- trailing over sand, winding through valleys, traversing mountains, following streams, twining through forest floors. Step into your hiking boots, join Cape Adventure Zone, and experience the euphoria of reaching your destination on foot, whether it’s an hour’s walk or a 20km hike. In the beauty and diversity of our surroundings there is surely a path that will find you. Majestic, ancient mountain ranges, beautiful secluded beaches- some with a shipwreck that survived the elements-, valleys bearing the fruits of the earth and wilderness areas that are either stark and bare, a harsh beauty unique, or hiking underneath a canopy of trees so high you can hardly see the sky. Cape Adventure Zone have put together a diverse collection of hiking trails to suit all levels of fitness, that will lead you to discover the indigenous fynbos, natural forests, magnificent views, birdlife and wildlife in Cape Town and the surrounding Western Cape. A registered, knowledgeable, experienced guide will accompany you on the hike of your choice.
