3. SHARK CAGE DIVING & VIEWING TOURS:
The magnificent but misunderstood Great White Shark is a regular visitor to South African waters. There are many qualified operators along the coastline that run daily trips to view these spectacular animals, whether you would like to view them breaching, cage dive with them or even free dive with other shark species. Tours are perfect for the conservation-minded individual.
4. WHALE & DOLPHIN WATCHING CRUISES:
Boat-based whale watching trips are the ultimate eco-marine experience. With operators dotted along the South African coastline they depart daily on an exhilarating trip to view Southern Right whales (June to December), Cape fur seals, marine birds and possibly dolphins, Bryde’s whales and Humpback whales.
Operators are licensed to approach the whales up to 50 metres, they then stop the boat and the decision is left up to the whales whether they would like to approach the boat. As they are curious creatures, they usually come right up to the vessel and you will be able to have an unforgettable encounter with these gentle giants of the ocean.
5. FOREST CANOPY TOURS:
Glide in safety 30 metres above the forest floor, harnessed and sliding along steel cables built to the highest civil engineering standards. Enjoy the unparalleled beauty, monkeys and birdlife of the lush indigenous forest, while your guide explains the ecology of the area. Viewing platforms high up in the forest canopy allow you to stop and take in the nature and views surrounding you. Operated in the Garden Route, Howick and Hazyview.
6. BUNGEE JUMPING:
Take part in the ultimate adrenalin-inducing sport – bungee jumping! The Gourits Bungy, a 65 metre jump near Mossel Bay, is a great warm up before attempting the Bloukrans Bungy. Situated just outside Plettenberg Bay, the Bloukrans Bungy is recognised by the Guinness World Book of Records as the highest bungee jump from a bridge in the world. And with the latest in safety technology, you can also be assured of a heart-stopping thrill in the utmost of safety.
7. HOT AIR BALLOONING:
Picture yourself sipping champagne as you hover gently above the tree tops, enjoying magnificent wrap-around views of the scenery around you.

Game viewing safari flights are also offered by selected game reserves. Operated in the Cape Winelands, Oudtshoorn, Drakensberg, Hazyview, Hoedspruit and the Magaliesberg.

9. SCENIC FLIGHTS:
Helicopter and fixed-wing flights are an exciting way to view South Africa from a different angle.
