Description
A 60-minute is all it takes for you to be whisked from the Cape Town city centre to a drop zone that boasts breathtaking natural beauty and stunning coastal views. To do a tandem skydive is one of the “must do” things while visiting Cape Town.
On a tandem skydive, you are strapped to a Tandem Master with a special harness that’s attached to a state of the art parachute large enough to support both of you. After only 15 minutes of ground briefing you will enjoy a spectacular approx 20 minute aircraft ride to 10,000ft above ground level.
Then it's action time! Out the door for a 120mph/ 200kph freefall for about 30 seconds. Your Tandem Master opens the parachute at about 5000ft, and a peaceful 5 minute parachute ride to the ground follows where you may be able to assist in steering the parachute.
