A Table Mountain Aerial Cableway adult return costs R475 booked online or R530 at the ticket office, with children aged 4 to 17 at R230 and R270. South African senior citizens pay just R130 return. These rates are valid from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027.
Table Mountain Cableway Ticket Prices
| Ticket | Online return | Online one-way | Ticket office return | Ticket office one-way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult | R475 | R300 | R530 | R330 |

Booking Online Saves R55
An adult return is R475 online against R530 at the ticket office, and a child return R230 against R270. Online tickets are valid for seven days, so booking ahead does not lock you to one date — useful given how often the cableway closes for wind.
The Senior Citizen Rate Is Exceptional
| Concession | Return | One-way | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| SA senior citizen | R130 | R70 | Valid SA ID, seven days a week |
| Student | R320 | R200 | Valid student card, ticket office only |
At R130 return, a South African senior pays 27% of the standard adult fare — one of the largest concessions at any South African attraction, and it applies every day rather than on a set weekday. The student rate is only sold at the ticket office, so students should not book online.
Fast Track
A Fast Track return costs R1,200 and one-way R750, skipping the queue. That is two and a half times the standard return.
No Peak and Off-Peak Pricing
The cableway does not publish time-based peak pricing, so a morning ticket costs the same as an afternoon one. What changes with conditions is whether it runs at all — high wind closes it, and tickets are refunded or reused rather than time-limited.
