A tandem skydive in Cape Town is one of the “must do” things while on holiday. Operates 7 days a week weather permitting. On arrival at the drop zone you will get a 15 minute briefing from your instructor and after being fitted with a harness you will take off in the plane for an adventure of a life time. The plane ride to altitude 9000ft above the ground is breath taking. You will be able to see Table Mountain, Robben Island and the coast line the way the birds see is. Just before exit you get hooked up to your tandem instructor and free fall to 4000ft above the ground. After the parachute opens you will glide softly to the ground and land on the soft sand of the drop zone. Life after that will not be the same again.

Itinerary
A 20-minute drive north along the R27, or West Coast road as it’s more commonly
known, is all it takes for you to be whisked from the Cape Town city centre to a drop
zone that boasts one of the best views in the world from altitude.
On the way up in the aircraft, the view is breathtaking. To the South, the Mother City lies
sandwiched between towering Table Mountain and bustling Table Bay harbour. Further
to the south, and to the far side of the mountain, lies False Bay, Hout Bay and the
splendour of the South Peninsula as far as Cape Point. To the West, you will spot Robben
Island - Cape Town’s own Alcatraz - and the Atlantic breaking on the beautiful Cape
West Coast, as famous for its icy water temperature as its mouth-watering crayfish. To
the North, the Langebaan lagoon, a great kite surfing and windsurfing venue.
Less than an hour after landing from your Skydive, you could be gazing out at Robben
Island from the top of Table Mountain, relaxing on a wine farm in Stellenbosch, or
eating seafood in one of the many fine restaurants at the V&A Waterfront.
Length: Depends on group size. 1.5 hours for 2 people
Start Point: 20 minutes outside of Cape Town and Departs Daily.
