At Skydive Cape Town, we are thrilled to offer you an exhilarating skydiving experience just a 35-minute drive north along the R27, also known as the West Coast road, from the heart of Cape Town. Our drop zone is the closest to South Africa’s tourism capital, providing an unparalleled view from altitude that is sure to leave you in awe.

As you ascend in the aircraft for your tandem skydive, you’ll be treated to stunning panoramic views. To the south, admire the iconic city bowl nestled between the majestic Table Mountain and the bustling Table Bay harbour. Further beyond, discover the beauty of False Bay, Hout Bay, and the breathtaking south peninsula stretching toward Cape Point. To the west, catch a glimpse of Robben Island and the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean, famous for its chilly waters and delectable crayfish. And to the north, you’ll find the picturesque Langebaan lagoon, a hotspot for kitesurfing and windsurfing.

Skydiving is a must-try experience and a staple on nearly every bucket list. At Skydive Cape Town, our dedicated team and internationally qualified tandem masters are here to turn your skydiving dreams into reality. With our expertise and focus on safety, there’s no better way to appreciate the beauty of Cape Town than in freefall. So why wait? Go on—take the plunge with us!

Operating Times

We are open 7 days a week, weather permitting. Bookings are essential to avoid disappointment. We recommend booking earlier in the day due to the probability of the prevailing winds getting stronger later in the day.

Skydiving is weather dependent. Once you have secured a booking, remember to call or WhatsApp us on +27 82 800 6290 for a weather check before driving out.

Introductory Tandem Skydives

Perfect for first time jumpers, an introductory tandem skydive is a quick and easy way of experiencing the thrill of freefall without the time and effort required for learning all the theory. It’s also a ridiculous amount of fun.

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 20 minute aircraft ride to 9,000ft above ground level, experiencing the finest views of the West Coast, Cape Town, Robben Island and Table Mountain.

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.

If you’d like to capture this experience, your Tandem Master can film your skydive by means of cameras attached to his wrist.

After the Tandem jump we can give you more information on how to continue your training with the aim of obtaining a skydiving licence.
