Water-based adventures
• Come eye-ball to eye-ball with the predator of the deep when you book a shark-cage diving tour off Seal Island.
• Deep-sea diving will take you to another world below the waves where multi-hued fish dash through ancient shipwrecks dotted along the False Bay coast-line.
• Learn any one of a range of water-sports such as surfing, water-skiing, kite-surfing, windsurfing and body-boarding – from Muizenberg right through to the Atlantic Seaboard.
• White-water rafting is a white-knuckle ride to remember on the Breede River.
• Big-game fishing has to be experienced first hand to really appreciate the high levels of energy and excitement this popular sport offers.

Take to the skies
• Something different that will turn your friends back home green with envy – fly an ex-combat jet over Cape Town!
• Fly like a bird – paragliding from Lion’s Head offers a bird’s-eye-view of Cape Town.
• Free-fall – sky-diving is for many the ultimate in extreme fun and excitement, and you can do it right here in the Cape.

Climb, Jump, Hang – all about heights
• Not far from Cape Town, along the picturesque Garden Route, are two of the most well-known bungee jumping sites in the world. The Gouwritz Bridge and the Bloukrans Bridge. The latter is recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as “the highest commercially operated Bungee Jump in the world.”
• Abseiling or repelling is achieved by lowering yourself down a sheer cliff face in a harness – it may not sound too scary but wait until you find yourself dangling by some bits of rope far above solid ground!

And so much more…
While visiting Cape Town, try quad-biking, go-cart racing, ostrich riding, crocodile-cage diving, Waterfall zip lining, horse or camel riding or for the less-adventurous a leisurely ride up the cableway to the top of Table Mountain.
Hike Cape Town’s mountain trails, or go mountain-biking through the Tokai plantation. Swim, dive and surf in Cape Town’s two oceans. Sandboard the powdery white dunes.
