The iconic Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is officially back in service after its annual maintenance closure, which took place from 28 July to 3 August, 2025.
From today, 4 August, visitors can once again glide up to the mountain and soak in Cape Town’s panoramic beauty from above.
“Our annual shutdown allows us to carry out essential upgrades and make sure the Cableway runs at the highest possible standards,” Selma Hercules, Executive Director of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company (TMACC) said. “We’re delighted to welcome visitors to the mountain again!”

Operating hours will continue as follows:
