TOUR DESCRIPTION

GREAT WHITE SHARK DIVE
Come and enjoy a truly unique experience with daily shark diving/sighting tours (weather permitting) off Gansbaai, a mere stone-throw away from the most southern tip of the African Continent. Approx. 12km offshore from Gansbaai (2hrs drive from Cape Town) we find Dyer Island which has become known as one of only two unique areas in the world, where the chances to view the great white shark is exceptionally high. Other wildlife species such as Cape Fur Seals, Cape Gannets, Cape Cormorants, Jackass penguins, whales and dolphins are also likely to be sighted.

Once anchored in the channel, we make use of a specially designed, secure, two man steel cage, which floats on the surface, with our divers no more than 1m below the surface. Diving takes place on a rotational basis and on good diving days, it is possible for each diver to take more than one dive. Duration of each dive depends on the diver and the activity of the sharks, but could be up to half an hour per dive. Our non-divers have a great opportunity to view the feeding sharks from the safety of the boat, where exhilarating photographs and video footage may be captured, at close range.

Each crew member is highly qualified in his/her specific field and have more than 8 years experience with the white sharks.


ABSEIL TABLE MOUNTAIN
Table Mountain Abseiling, Cape Town.

An insane experience of adrenaline and achievement: a 112 meter controlled descent off Cape Town's magnificent Table Mountain.

Step off the top at 1000 meters above sea level and repel into pure oblivion and indulge in the world's highest commercial abseil surrounded with the privilege of awesome views and the deep blue Atlantic at your feet.

No experience is necessary to enjoy this humbling abseil.

Please note that this tour exludes transfers to the Table Mountain Cable Way as well as your Table Mountain Cable Way ticket. Once you are on top of the Mountain you will be met by the Abseil Guide and He/she will Abseil you down.

TABLE MOUNTAIN DOUBLE DESCENT
You are transported just below the cliffs of the majestic Table Mountain. At the Base Cable Station an expert mountain bike instructor will lead you to the off-road trails. Anybody can handle this ride; the only prerequisite is that you have ridden a bike before. Just leave the rest to our instructor who is always ready to demonstrate & give valuable advice on bike handling skills.

We aim to make this a rewarding experience filled with spectacular views of natural landmarks in & around the 'Mother City''. 90% of the ride is downhill with 10% uphill, so either take a relaxing ride absorbing everything Table Mountain has to offer or challenge yourself against the terrain.

Halfway along the ride there is also the opportunity to cool off and take a swim in a crystal clear rock pool on the slopes of Table Mountain (summer months only). The final descent is down Devils Peak all the back into the city. This last downhill section has captured many hearts into the mountain biking world
