Activity Description

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!

Customer Reviews

As a registered National Tour Guide (WC 3215) I was so impressed with the professionalism, quick response, friendly service from the company. From the first phone call to actually doing the Jump. I work at world international hockey events and Mascots are a major part of the teams traveling and tournament equipment. I had brought back a pink lama that was in cape town for a years stay to experience sports an adventure. The company arranged for the mascots to be in the plane during my sky dive. The fact that the company weight people prior to their jump to pair them up with the right instructor was a great professional touch. My instructor was amazing briefing was so precise and he just excelled in a passion for his work and how much the company values the professional approach. Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were extremely friendly but gave off such a professional high standard that the company obviously has. At the age of 69 I am also trying to encourage retired people to tick things off their BUCK LIST. This is a must to do. I think the price is very reasonable and the quality of pictures from the experience was amazing. I work from the peninsula all suite hotel sea point. I have recommended the guest service desk uses this company - Moira
