Just an hour from Cape Town’s city centre lies one of South Africa’s most scenic drop zones, where adrenaline meets jaw-dropping coastal views. Skydiving here is not just a thrill, it’s one of the top outdoor experiences to try when you visit Cape Town.

After a short safety briefing on the ground, you’ll gear up and be securely harnessed to a certified Tandem Master. With a specially designed parachute built for two, there’s no need for prior experience—just a sense of adventure.

Enjoy a 20-minute scenic flight as you climb to an altitude of 10,000 feet (approximately 3,050 metres). From up here, the views are unforgettable: the rugged Atlantic coastline, the turquoise waters of Langebaan Lagoon, the vineyard-dotted Cape Winelands, and the iconic landmarks of Robben Island and Table Mountain. It’s a moment of calm before the real excitement begins.

Then, the door opens. You and your instructor exit the aircraft together, diving into a 30-second freefall at speeds of up to 200 km/h. At around 5,000 feet, the parachute opens, and everything slows down. You’ll drift peacefully for 5 to 7 minutes, with sweeping views and, if conditions allow, a chance to steer the canopy under expert guidance.

Whether it’s your first jump or a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list moment, this tandem skydive offers a unique perspective on some of South Africa’s most spectacular natural and cultural landmarks.
