BELOW THE SURFACE is a unique urban adventure with strong
historical and environmental significance.
You will be exploring aspects of Cape Town
This experience was born from a team build exercise and has grown
since into an holistic experience. This tunnel is steeped in South Africa Table Mountain
We will meet at the Castle and take you to the entrance from here.
At the entrance we will descend into the depths of the city’s underground
passageways and explore the historic that was once an open river running down
the slopes of Table
Mountain Cape Town as a refreshment station, and is now one of the
oldest catchment tunnels in South
Africa
All patrons will enter the tunnel, through a cast-iron manhole at
the foot of Table
Mountain
The tunnel is extremely clean and well ventilated. Natural
lighting adds to the ambian ce of the
walk and the air is fresh. This experience makes for great photographs and
memories.
A medium level of physical exertion will be required. Those capable of climbing 3 flights of stairs, unassisted, poses the physical capability to complete this exercise. Should you suffer from sever claustrophobia, high blood
pressure and weak joints (hips, legs, ankles) you will need to consult our team.
The minimum number of patrons per tour required is 10. You can either join an existing group or book your own group on a tour. The largest group we we have accommodated to date is 80 persons from the Cape Town Natural History Club and this was done comfortably.
We do not recommend children under 7 and offer a half price discount for children under 12.
