"What a crazy but fun 5 days. I never dreamed that I would go through with all of the adventures but now I just want to do them over and over again! I really really didnt want to come back home, and our 5 days in cape town seemed very quiet after what we had been use to!

Just wanted to say that I was really impressed by the whole Cape Xtreme thing, and you have all worked real hard, I want to wish you luck for all your other tours that will come flooding in!

Hopefully we will be back one day for another Xtreme experience!"

“It is difficult to put into words what an incredible five days we had with Gavin, and Cape Xtreme. I opted to go on the 5 Day Garden Route tour with Grayson, a slightly more adventurous friend! Gav picked us up bright and early from where we were staying in Cape Town, and together with Siri, a lovely girl from Finland we set off on our tour. From the word go we had the time of our lives, encouraging each other to do all the extreme activities, including 2 bungee jumps, crocodile cage diving, zip lining, abseiling down a huge cliff, paragliding and more. All the hostels we stayed in were great – they had all been hand picked by our tour guide. My favourite was in Tzitikama, we arrived as the sun was setting to a camp fire and a braai, and stayed in rustic bunk beds made from huge logs – perfect!

There are too many highlights to mention, the incredible feeling after the bungee jump at Bloukrans, the water fight whilst we were kayaking, horse riding along a beach at sunset, listening to a certain Jack Johnson song over & over again, and our last night at the pub in Knysna - laughing so much we cried!

It was amazing to face my fears and realize I am a lot braver and tougher that I thought! I really didn’t know what to expect when I booked the tour, but I feel so lucky to have had this experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting South Africa. We did more in the 5 days than most people would do in their entire lifetimes, and not only that, we made some great friends too.

Thank you so much Gav, and I am sure I will see you again in the future!”

Itinerary

Day 1

Good morning and welcome to Cape Xtreme! You start the tour bright and early by being picked up and taken through Cape Town, over the scenic Sir Lowry's pass and onto the world renowned Shark Diving capital of the world, Gansbaai. Here you can be completely amazed by boat based Whale Viewing (in season) or scared senseless by Shark Cage diving. After a few hours on the open ocean looking at the beautiful creatures of the deep you head off towards the garden route through the Overberg region of the Western Cape, famous for its variety of Fynbos. Along the way you stop for a 65 meter bungee jump just to keep the adrenalin flowing. You stay overnight in the beautiful surroundings of a Milkwood Forest in Wilderness tonight.

DAY 2

Fresh as a daisy you wake up early to fly through the clouds by Paragliding off one of the nearby hilltops. An experience to remember. You then head to the tranquil Wilderness River for canoeing, hiking and kloofing (jumping off waterfalls) through the deep river gorge. Its now time to say good-bye to the coast for the time being. You head over the Outeniqua Mountains to the ostrich capital of the world, Oudtshoorn. A dry semi arid region of South Africa called the Little Karoo. Try make use of the night by talking to some of the locals at the bar, you are guaranteed for some very interesting and amusing tales.

DAY 3

This morning your first stop is a Wildlife Rehabilitation Ranch where you are able to view Bengal Tigers, Hippo's, Snakes etc pat a Cheetah and even have a once in a lifetime chance to cage dive with Crocodiles! You then visit a working Ostrich farm where you will get the opportunity to ride a bird! After all this we head off to crawl and squeeze through the world famous Cango Caves which goes 800 meters into the mountains. Once you make your way above ground you will head back towards the coast. You spend tonight in the fairytale like village of Stormsriver, deep in the Tsitsikamma Forrest, let all the forest sounds put you into a deep well deserved slumber.

DAY 4

Wake up to the magical world of this unique coastal forest. The first thing you will do today is be taken into the jungle to go Foofy sliding (Zip Lining) from one tree to the next through breath taking scenery you should definitely try this, it is unforgettable! Can life get any better? You will soon find out when you are confronted by a 216 meter drop off the Bloukraans Bridge (the worlds highest commercial bungee)! A 5 second free fall which might as well be 5 minutes! This is BIG! Your adrenalin will be pumping all night, so be prepared for a big one! Tonight you stay in the spectacular lake side town of Knysna, 3 times voted South Africas Favourite town!

DAY 5

Today we head back towards Cape Town. But first you take in the scenic beauty and then start the fun, we do a whole adventure activity package of canoeing, abseiling, rap jumping and quad biking. You then make your way back to Cape Town. Once arriving in the city you check into the hostel before hitting the town to celebrate an awesome 5 days.
