Description
To do a tandem skydive in Cape Town
is one of the “must do” things while on holiday
or just visiting. 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. You will feel exhilarated
and alive for days to come. Vehicle*

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 kitesurfing 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.
