Relax, unwind and spend time exploring the city at your leisure. In the late afternoon, and weather permitting, we ascend the summit of Table Mountain, with views from 3500 feet above Cape Town City.

Soak in the view and enjoy some light local refreshments, before a life-altering decent. Experience a surge of adrenaline as you abseil down the face of Table Mountain with the crystal blue Atlantic far below. At an incredible 112 metres, this is the largest commercial abseil in the world.

Transfer to the V&A Waterfront for dinner at leisure.

Take a leisurely drive to the southern end of the Cape Peninsula which boasts 2 points of interest, the Cape of Good Hope and the more southerly Cape Point. En-route back, we stop in at Simonstown for a 2 hour guided paddle to Boulders Beach. Visit the penguins and stop off for a snorkel and a swim.
(No previous experience necessary).

Enjoy a light lunch in Simonstown at Seaforth Restaurant which boasts stunning views of the sea and mountains. Continue back to Cape Town via Chapmans Peak, one of the most spectacular coastal roads in South Africa.

The day begins with breakfast at the Sunbird Lodge, followed by a gentle 45min hike into the gorge. The walk takes us to the base of a series of tiered rock pools called the "Crystal Pools". Here we instruct you in the art of kloofing, (jumping from rock ledges into deep pools).

The jumps start at 3-7 metres for the cautious beginner, and go up to a 20 metre jump for the truly courageous (or insane).

After we have worked our way up the canyon rock pools (kloofing is not compulsory), you will experience our fantastic 65 metre waterfall abseil at the top of the gorge, with a view comparable to no other!

Take a scenic drive through the Cape's premier wine regions to Franschhoek, the gourmet capital of South Africa. This charming town in the most picturesque valley, retains a sophisticated French Huguenot style. Visit Stellenbosch, the oldest town in South Africa, and walk down the canal-lined avenues. An air of quiet intellectualism and wine-making history abounds in this university town.
