A 50-minute drive north along the N7, is all it takes for you to be whisked from the Cape Town city centre to the skydiving drop zone in South Africa’s tourism capital, boasting one of the best views in the world from altitude.
On the way up in the aircraft to your tandem skydive, the view is breathtaking. To the south, the city bowl lies sandwiched between towering Table Mountain and bustling Table Bay harbour. Further 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 and the Atlantic Ocean breaking on the beautiful Cape West Coast, as famous for its icy water temperature as it’s mouth-watering crayfish. To the north, the Langebaan lagoon, a great kitesurfing and windsurfing venue.
Skydiving is the one item that features on almost every bucket list. At Skydive Cape Town, our dedicated staff and internationally qualified tandem masters are on hand to make your skydiving dream a reality. There’s no better way to experience Cape Town than in freefall. Go on – take the plunge!

The whole experience was fantastic. Suiting up and climbing about a really small plane. Taking the views in from the plane while climbing to 10000ft was fantastic.....but then the jump. The first little bit as you free fall out the plane rolling around and accelerating is phenomenal...pure bliss. Then just realising and enjoying the drop before the parachute opens is certainly a highlight. Even the drifting and spinning on the way down was fantastic and serene. Truly and enjoyable day out - Jason
I had a great experience! My booking was moved twice due to bad weather, which shows they prioritise safety. I fully agree with the decisions. All the staff were professional and welcoming. The video they offered exceeded expectations. I anticipated the raw footage, but instead got an already edited video of the whole experience to show family and friends. 5 star experience - Daniel
It was amazing! I felt secure and assured and well taken care of . It was in a lovely peaceful surrounding to help keep the nerves at bay. Staff and instructors were super friendly and available. All in all felt very safe. - Lindy
What an experience, I would recommend this to anyone the team was professional accommodating and very friendly. Loved everything about it best adrenaline rush of my life. - Izak
I recently took a 10,000 feet skydive and wow what an experience. Everyone was amazingly friendly yet super professional. Communication was excellent. I always felt in safe hands. But the jump and the freefall part especially will be something that I remember for ever. Thanks to everyone involved in making this a lifelong memory - Steve
