Tandem Skydive

Cape Town

Activity Description

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!

Skydive Cape Town is affiliated to, and adheres to the guidelines as set out by, the Parachute Association of South Africa, which is approved by the South African Civil Aviation Authority as an Aviation Recreation Organisation. (CAA/ARO/0004). We have been in operation at the current location since 2000 and, prior to that, in Stellenbosch for 20 years. Our management and staff are committed to upholding the highest safety standards. All our tandem masters are internationally qualified and we use only equipment imported from one of the most reputable tandem equipment manufacturers in the USA. Equipment is maintained to the highest standards. We have access to 2 Cessna aircraft. All skydives are done from 9000ft (2.74km) above ground level.
