A 35-minute drive north along the R27 or West Coast road as it’s more commonly known, is all it takes for you to be whisked from the Cape Town city centre to the closest skydiving drop zone to 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!

ABSOLUTELY the best experience ever. The team is professional, patient, competent and truly exceptional. It was a joy working with each of them and a pleasure to be a part of the Skydive adventure in South Africa..! - Edelina
What a great experience! The whole team was very welcoming and were able to allay any apprehension I might have had. Bevan, my tandem buddy, was excellent so I was pretty relaxed really. Was my first dive but have to do it again as that first adrenalin rush before the chute opens felt surreal and was so quick - it was like "wow! what was that!" I would like to think I would engage with it better next time. All in all, a truly magical experience. Thanks to John and the team. - Ambasa
