Description
Your tandem skydive should be an unforgettable, fun-filled experience and the absolute best introduction to the world of skydiving.
Location and The Jump
Located in the scenic farmlands of Wellington, nestled in the heart of the Cape Winelands—less than an hour's drive from Cape Town’s CBD. As the plane ascends to altitude, you'll be treated to incredible, sweeping views of the surrounding Winelands, the iconic Table Mountain, and the sight of two sparkling blue oceans.
The tandem skydive is a quick and simple way to experience the thrill of freefall at speeds exceeding 120 mph (200 kph), all while having the security of being attached to a world-class, internationally accredited tandem instructor.
Your Adventure Details
