Day 9 Skydiving and go on a speed boat.

Skydiving. Perfect for first time jumpers/parachuters a tandem skydive is a quick and easy way of experiencing the thrill of free fall. It also is 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. 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 

The speedboat is an action packed eco-adventure boat ride around Cape Town’s unspoilt coastline. Experience an eco-adventure aboard a stunning Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boat – a combination of power and exploration as you cruise the Atlantic coastline to view the spectacular sea and birdlife, under the guidance of experienced skippers.

The experienced skippers will share with you the beauty of the ocean as well as the beauty of the Cape Town Atlantic coastline with a chance to see Cape Fur Seals, Dolphins, Whales, Penguins and Sun Fish and potentially much more as you search the bay for sea life.

Day 10  Sidecars and Tandem Paragliding from Lionshead. Lovely and loads of fun! Explore the beautiful Capetown in a side car! 

Day 11: Cobra car. Relax in the seat with the wind in your hair and enjoy the scenic beauty of Capetown and surrounding areas in the most unique way possible An unforgettable experience.

Day 12: Ziplining in Cape Town. Lovely scenery and loads of fun!! 

Cape Town Ziplines boarders on the Table Mountain National Park Reserve.  Walking and ziplining between the 12 PLATFORMS, it feels like being inside the Table Mountain Nature Reserve since it is surrounded by natural beauty, fauna and flora. 

The Zipline experience offers you a tour of the cables starting high in the mountain and slowly descending down the slopes. The platforms offer visitors the most amazing panoramic views of Cape Town.

Guides on the tour will assist with your extreme journey and ensure you have a memorable experience. Some of the Ziplines are as high as 155 Meters with the tree top canopy below and the longest of the Ziplines in the tour is just under 500 meters.

It is truly fantastic.
