A tandem jump is the obvious choice for beginners or first timers who may be unsure of their ability to handle a solo jump right off the bat. You get all the thrills while having peace of mind knowing that an expert is handling the technical side of things.
In addition, you do not need all the theoretical training so it’s purely the fun stuff you’ll have to concentrate on!
The Tour
The way it works is simple:
We begin with a quick and painless 15 minutes ground briefing so you know what to expect. No jargon necessary!
Next, you get to enjoy a 20 minute flight and if you are not to nervous yet you’ll enjoy the spectacular scenery over the West Coast, Cape Town, Robben Island and Table Mountain – all major attractions encompassed in one ride!
Next comes the exciting bit - you are literally strapped to an Instructor by means of a special harness that is made to support two adults safely.
Then it’s action time and before you know it you’re out the door for a 120mph/200kph freefall, falling about 25 seconds from 9,000ft or for about 35 seconds from 11,000ft.
At around 5000 feet the Instructor opens the parachute and you can drift down for the next 3-4 minutes in a peaceful parachute ride back to earth.
You can re-live the moment with friends and family if you choose to have your Cape Town Tandem Skydive captured on film by an official cameraman who will jump with you. |
