How to choose
Choose between two distinct options for your drop over Cape Town with prices ranging from 203.67 € to 210.59 €. Skydive Two Oceans offers a quick 24 min session for those prioritizing efficiency, while Capextreme Adventure Tours provides a 3-hour comprehensive experience from 10,000 ft. Both operators target the same adrenaline threshold, but the longer duration includes more detailed ground preparation. The meeting point for the 210.59 € jump is Diepkloof Airfield on the N7, roughly 45 minutes north of the city center. Book early, morning slots sell out faster than you'd expect.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
The freefall immediately after exit from the aircraft at 10,000 ft. You go from standing at the door to full freefall in under a second. That transition is what most first-timers describe as the biggest shock.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
At 10,000 ft, the ground looks abstract rather than close. Most jumpers report that the fear of heights doesn't kick in the same way it does on a rooftop or a cliff edge. The scale changes everything.
How long does the actual freefall last?
From 10,000 ft, freefall duration is not provided in the tour details. The full experience including briefing, gear-up, flight and canopy ride runs 3 hours with Capextreme Adventure Tours.
Is this genuinely open to everyone?
The physical level for the 210.59 € jump is listed as 'Everybody welcome'. Standard tandem skydiving restrictions apply in practice, including weight limits and basic health requirements. Contact the operators directly to confirm your eligibility before booking.
