Cape Town Ziplining, Constantia Wine Tasting & Table Mountain Private Tour
Select participants and date
You begin before the city fully wakes: a private driver pulls away from your hotel and the shoreline of the Atlantic recedes as Table Mountain's plateau sharpens on the horizon. In the space between vineyard and summit the day feels deliberately stitched together — high-adrenaline runs along steel rope, slow pours in historic cellars, and a cable car that lifts you past gulls and wind toward a flat, wind-scarred peak.

Adventure Tips
Morning pickup reduces cloud risk
Book an early start — Table Mountain often fills with the ‘tablecloth’ cloud in the afternoon, which can close the cableway.
Bring ID and cash for wine tasting
Wine tasting fees at Groot Constantia are optional and usually paid onsite (around R120 per person); bring ID for tastings.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Zipline platforms and short walks on uneven trails require sturdy shoes with grip; flip-flops are not suitable.
Check weight and medical restrictions ahead
Operators enforce weight limits and aren’t recommended for guests with recent spinal injuries or pregnancy; confirm during booking.
