**What Sets our Ticket Apart:** Enjoy a convenient and carefully planned Table Mountain Cableway experience with practical local advice. During the busy summer season, 30 September till 31 March, weekends and public holidays, visitor numbers can be significantly higher and queues may become longer. We recommend visiting earlier in the morning (from the first cable car till 0900hrs) or later in the afternoon, (1600hrs till 1-2 hours before the last cable car updepending on season) where possible, to help reduce waiting time. Your ticket is valid for **7 days from the original activity date**. If your visit is cancelled due to weather or Cableway operations, you may use the ticket within this 7-day validity period, subject to availability and applicable operating conditions. For ticket validity confirmation or assistance, please contact **+27 71 075 8442** or **+27 61 924 3981**. Please note that queue times vary according to daily visitor volumes, weather and Cableway operations.
