This is a no brainer, need I say more, only the best view in Cape Town. You can purchase a glass of bubbly at the Table Mountain Cafe. Fine wines and beers also available. This is a very romantic date, we celebrated our anniversary on top of Table Mountain last year with the sunset special.

Sunset Cruise from the V&A Waterfront

Set sail from the V&A Waterfront on a Sunset Cruise and enjoy a glass of bubbles on the ocean while admiring the Cape Town skyline and the stunning view of Table Mountain. There are various yachts to choose from to suit your preference.
