Hike with a Cape Town local

Hi, I'm Barry, a Cape Town local and registered mountain guide with more than 25 years of guiding experience.

I grew up in Cape Town, at some stage literally on the lower slopes of Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, but it was only after returning from a 6-year stint living abroad that I started discovering what the Cape Town mountains really offer. What I discovered was an outdoor playground like no other, right in my backyard.

From Lion’s Head to the plethora of routes on Table Mountain, there is an almost unlimited menu of hiking and scrambling routes between Signal Hill and Cape Point. As a result, I still enjoy finding and hiking new routes, and while I have covered a lot, there is still a long list of routes on my to-do list.

In the meantime, I have enjoyed sharing many of our fantastic hiking trails with thousands of people from around the world. And I still do.

Whether it's the main routes up Table Mountain and Lion’s Head or the more adventurous routes with fewer footprints, contact me for your next adventure.

What Sets Us Apart?

After more than 25 years of running and hiking in the Cape Town and Western Cape Mountains, I have developed an appreciation for what these mountains have to offer. How they shape our everyday lives, whether from up close or at a distance. To share even a little bit of that with people from around the world is both a privilege and highly enjoyable to me.
