Buying Fast Pass tickets was great because we didn't have to wait in any lines. However, if you avoid the morning rush and get there around 12:00 or 1:00 PM, the lines are already gone. Most tourists go early in the morning... at least at this time of year when we visited (early October).

We used the fast track tickets today and was so pleased as the line was 3 hours! Also the same coming down. Definitely worth doing. There is a free trial that you can download that's worth following. Great service thank you

Very good Fast Tour. We arrived and there was a huge line, but with the fast pass it was very, very quick for us. We got right in, went up, and really enjoyed Table Mountain. Highly recommend!!!!

What a great experience, staff were brilliant and made everything run smoothly. Views from cable car were amazing but from Table Mountain it was simply not to be missed!

Cable car was great, but don't buy your tickets from Headout, buy them directly from the site as you will be paying a lot extra for absolutely no gain.

Glide up Table Mountain on a self-guided cable car visit, using a flexible all-day ticket valid for one ascent and one descent from Cape Town.

Your ticket includes skip-the-line access at the ticketing area, so you can head straight toward the cable car, saving valuable time at the station.

Once on the summit, set your own pace as you enjoy sweeping city and ocean views, browse curio shops, and try mountaintop eateries along the way.
