The best extreme adventures in Cape Town:
Thanks to its coastal location and magnificent scenery, Cape Town is a popular destination for extreme adventures. Throughout the city and its surrounding town, operators offer a variety of thrilling adventures, including bungee jumping, bridge swinging, kite-surfing, quad biking, sidecar rides and skydiving, to name just a few.
Most of these activities are available to over-18s only, so if you’re travelling with children, it’s a good idea to secure the services of a babysitter before embarking on your adventure. If you’re staying at a 5-star hotel in Cape Town, you’ll probably have access to reliable babysitting services offered by the establishment.
When choosing your extreme adventures, think of your tastes and favourite types of adventures. Being a seaside city, Cape Town offers many ocean-based adventures, including diving, jet-skiing, kite-surfing, waterskiing, wake-boarding and big game fishing. These activities are ideal for those who love the sea, and are usually only recommended for fairly strong swimmers. For those who have the requisite certification (Padi Open Water Certificates), it’s even possible to dive with the sharks at the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront.
If you prefer land-based and airborne adventures to sea-based ones, then you’re in luck too. There are a number of extreme air and land activities on offer in Cape Town, which take full advantage of the region’s dramatic mountains and landscapes. Abseil and rock-climb on Table Mountain, or opt for the ultimate thrill with bungee jumping and bridge swinging at various locations outside of Cape Town. Other daring activities include skydiving, micro-lighting and paragliding – for experts only – as well as quad-biking, sand-boarding and mountain biking.
Finally, you could opt to experience the beautiful city of Cape Town in comfort whilst still experiencing an invigorating rush! Sidecar tours along Cape Town’s magical coastline are a great option for those who want to experience the thrills without worrying about the technicalities! An experienced motorcyclist will transport you through the city, whilst you – decked in a helmet and goggles, and with the wind in your hair – can sit back and enjoy the excitement of a motorbike ride combined with breathtaking scenery.
Selecting an extreme sports operator:
It’s obviously important to choose a reputable operator when participating in any type of extreme sporting activity. This will not only ensure your safety, but also your interests: be sure that the company you select has the requisite qualifications and equipment, as well as a reputable name in the business. Chat to friends and family members for recommendations, or visit the operators’ websites. It’s also a good idea to ask your travel agency to recommend extreme sports operators in Cape Town.
Also be sure to book your sports activities in advance when possible – especially if you’re travelling to Cape Town during summer (the peak holiday season).
If you’re an adrenaline junkie, there’s no better place for extreme sports than Cape Town. Plan your adventure holiday to Cape Town now, and jump, climb, fly and dive your way around the beautiful city.
