Why Skydive Cape Town?

Tandem Skydive: The Perfect Introduction
For those new to skydiving, a Skydive Cape Town tandem jump is the ideal way to experience the thrill of freefall without the need for extensive training. You’ll be securely harnessed to an experienced tandem master, who will guide you through every step of the jump. After a brief 15-minute orientation, you’ll be ready to soar to 9,000 ft above the ground, where the real adventure begins.

The adrenaline-pumping freefall is followed by a serene five-minute parachute glide, giving you the chance to take in the stunning Cape West Coast vistas below.
