Journey along the scenic Cape Point Funicular from the Welcome Centre to the Lookout Point at the top - the most South Western point in Africa!
Looking for a specific date rather than a voucher? Wherever you see the Book Now banner, we can check live availability and make reservations for you!
All aboard the Flying Dutchman! Ride the first commercial funicular of its type in Africa and enjoy breathtaking views of Cape Point and its upper lighthouse.
For over two decades, the electrically powered Flying Dutchman funicular—which takes its name from the legendary ghost ship—has carried passengers from the Cape Point car park to a viewing point below the upper lighthouse. The line follows the route of an old bus service, through dense fynbos, and each car can carry up to 40 passenger per journey. With a return ticket, you can enjoy that journey twice—and save yourself the uphill climb! While on-board, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the native fynbos, coastal scenery and Atlantic Ocean, before disembarking at the upper lighthouse. Stretch your legs and have your camera at the ready, ‘cause the views only get better!
A Cape Point Funicular Cable Car Return Ticket would make an inspired experience gift for anyone visiting the area, or the perfect excuse for them to make the trip! Surprise someone special with an Experience Days gift certificate today!
