Thrill Seekers
Activities

Cape Town Paragliding from Signal Hill
In Cape Town, we paraglide mainly from Lion’s Head and Signal Hill. The paragliding launch site we use depends on the wind direction at the time. Sometimes we start flying from Signal Hill and then move across to Lion’s Head as the wind changes throughout the day.
SkyDiving
- Perfect for first time jumpers, an introductory tandem skydive is a quick and easy way of experiencing the thrill of freefall without the time and effort required for learning all the theory. It’s also a ridiculous amount of fun.
- On a tandem skydive, you are strapped to a Tandem Master with a special harness that’s attached to a state of the art parachute large enough to support both of you. After only 15 minutes of ground briefing you will enjoy a spectacular 20 minute aircraft ride to 9,000ft above ground level, experiencing the finest views of the West Coast, Cape Town, Robben Island and Table Mountain.
- Then it’s action time! Out the door for a 120mph/ 200kph freefall for about 30 seconds. Your Tandem Master opens the parachute at about 5000ft, and a peaceful 5 minute parachute ride to the ground follows where you may be able to assist in steering the parachute.

Quad Biking & Sandboarding

- Guided Tours take you around on an hour long session that shows you all the beauty of the dunes, in a fun and free flowing ride.
Ziplining (Silvermist Constantia)
- The adventure begins with a brief safety introduction at our office with in the Silvermist Estate. From here guests will embark on a hair raising guided 4 x 4 drive into the mountain high above Constantia with a spectacular view of Cape Town. Cape Town Ziplines boarders on the Table Mountain National Park Reserve. You will be surrounded by the natural beauty, fauna and flora while walking and zipline between the 12 platforms.

Ziplining (Grabouw)
A zipline canopy tour in the company of soaring eagles surrounded by breath-taking Cape fynbos panoramas and mountainscapes only an hour’s drive from Cape Town by car could well be exactly what you are looking for. Thrilled zipliners who have completed the course have described it as super safe. One commented that the quality of the structure and equipment was reassuringly high and had made her fear of heights irrelevant.
