Cape Town Adrenaline Overload
South Africans are a great bunch but they’re also slightly nuts. Of course we encourage this being Xtreme Gap Year, we know doing these kinds of things while you travel can really make your trip amazing. This is the ultimate African adrenaline fix, 3 Flavours depending on how much of an adrenaline junky you are!

Hard (Scary)

Double Hard (Very Scary)

Xtreme Gapper Mentalist (Wear Brown Trousers)
The hard version does not include a sky dive or Shark Cage Dive – but does include the worlds highest abseil off table mountain. There is also an awesome day out Sandboarding down the dunes and a surf lesson so you can learn to surf with Table mountain as a back drop. There is plenty to see and do and on the days where others are skydiving or Shark Diving you can do loads of optional activities (arranged locally) like seeing Cape point, wine tours, big 5 safaris, walking tours or just chilling on the beach.
The Double Hard Version is like the hard version, but you can either choose a Shark Cage Dive or a Skydive as well. The mentalist, you do it all!
