- Hey Peeps, check out this awesome hidden secret on Table mountain called tranquility cracks.
Tranquility Cracks is a series of secret caverns and caves inside the Table Mountain National Park called the Tranquility Cracks, which a lot of people go in search of, but never find.
Tranquility Cracks refers directly to deep fissures in the rocks above Camps Bay through which one passes, about halfway along the Twelve Apostles. Beyond the cracks is a labyrinth of rocky corridors.
There are a number of passages to choose from, all of which offer incredible views. Inside the cracks grow yellowwood trees that have earned the hike the alternative title of Yellowwood Cracks. Here you are sheltered from any wind and sun.
Corridor Ravine is one of several paths that lead off the Pipe Track and is considered the easiest. It is the ravine after Slangolie (Slangolie is considered treacherous and not advisable to take), but has no marker of its own, so you need to keep your eyes peeled.
The track up Corridor Ravine, which actually is more of a valley between Corridor buttress and Verreaux Crag, is steep with loose stones and some slippery sections, so it can take you about an hour to reach the top. Numerous breaks will afford you views over the Atlantic and across to Lion's Head.
The top of the ravine is rocky but from the top you should see the backside of the Table with views of Muizenberg, Constantiaberg and the dams of the Orange Kloof forest. From the top you join a path that follows the spine of the Twelve Apostles, turning north towards Table Mountain. The path should take you straight to the cracks.
How long you spend here is dependent on how much you want to explore. It's a perfect place to stop and picnic and, if you are lucky, you will have the place to yourselves.
For the route back down, take the Kasteelpoort, one of the easiest descents off the mountain (although it can feel pretty tough going if one is tired) and join up again with the Pipe Track.

The last I read/heard is that drone use was banned over all National Parks land. Is that still the case? This said, sick video. I remember the first time I read about Tranquility Cracks as a kid and finally visited many years later. One of the most magical places on the Peninsula!
Table mountain view is unbelievable. Cape point is just as good in general Cape town is stunning.green point sea point board walk is amazing

jeff Ferritto I think that calls for a return visit 😊
Approximately how many hours was this hike?
im not on social media how do i get the info on your next hike? would love to tag along... looks awesome there was once there when i was in grade 8..holy crap i got cold chills seeing you sit on the edge like that.
Yusuf Petersen ummm it's all on Facebook brother. Not sure of another way. So you don't have a FB account?
nope i do not sorry boet... put a link of your page up maybe i can check it that way..
Eina !!
Hey Adam. Do you need to walk in groups and are there regular random groups that walk up there. Also are we safe to walk and film. We coming to ct soon getting prepared lol...
wormwood69 always best in groups I believe but the route up is fairly busy if you go on a weekend 😊
Snakes!
7:01 lol josh dont be a joberger.
Leon Roode whats a joberger?
What do you mean you lost a few on the way?😳
haha, well we left in a bigger group but some decided to go other ways etc.

Adam Spires I know where you live. In cape town
Inge Brand yup Cape Town
Woah 👀 dont expose the man
Whats the name of the hike?
The most amazing hike of your life :)
1:44, not such a good idea to sit there. Mukurob in Namibia fell over in 1989, sections of Lion's Head recently collapsed, Darwin's Arch in the Galapagos Islands recently collapsed, all without warning. Table Mountain sandstone is not the most stable.
