The sprawling city is full of mountains and ocean, and all the opportunity for adventure that these can offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve called Cape Town home for years, and I\u2019ve had so many incredible experiences in that time. But not everyone has years to spend here! So I\u2019ve put together a list of all the best adventure activities in Cape Town, so that you can find the best options for you. Some of these activities can be done alone and for free, others you need to know locals, and others you can join a guided tour or paid activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hiking and Trail Running<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/hiking.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/hiking.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/hiking-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/hiking-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, first and foremost is <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/hiking-trails-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our many beautiful hiking trails in Cape Town<\/a>! We have so many fantastic options, even just on Table Mountain, that you can go for a leisurely stroll, or push yourself on a challenging full day hike. Either way, you\u2019ll be surrounded by incredibly beautiful flora on one of the most unique and miniscule biomes in the world. There are a bunch of plants you can find on Table Mountain which you can\u2019t find anywhere else in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our hiking trails are also great for trail running, as there\u2019s a wide variety of grades, widths, and technical difficulty. So they\u2019ll keep you on your toes! You can also easily find circuit routes, so that you don\u2019t have to turn around or uber back to your starting place. <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/newlands-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newlands Forest<\/a> is a great place to start, as much of it is shaded and challenging, but not too steep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Mountain biking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220213-_JMA9313.jpg\" alt=\"mountain biking in cape town\" class=\"wp-image-2287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220213-_JMA9313.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220213-_JMA9313-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/20220213-_JMA9313-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by award-winning <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/photographer\/jacques-marais\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outdoor photographer Jacques Marais &#8212; read my interview with him here!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like trail running, there are some <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/local-knowledge\/mountain-bike-trails-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fantastic mountain bike trails around Cape Town<\/a>. With such beautiful surroundings, you\u2019ll find a large range of grades and difficulties suited to all different levels of mountain bikers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, mountain bikes are very expensive, so most of us have to stick to the far cheaper only-shoes-required trail running. But if you can score a bike or rent one, you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Climbing and Bouldering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"717\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/climbing-silvermine-short.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/climbing-silvermine-short.jpeg 959w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/climbing-silvermine-short-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/climbing-silvermine-short-768x574.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/climbing-silvermine-short-500x375.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of our favourite things to do is to go climbing. There are two fantastic gyms in Cape Town &#8211; CityRock for lead climbing and Bloc11 for bouldering &#8211; and both are really great for building up your strength and having some fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But of course, the real adventure is on the mountains. The best place to climb in Cape Town is at Lakeside Pinnacle, located at <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/silvermine-nature-reserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Silvermine, a nature reserve<\/a> on the outskirts of the city. This climbing area has a great range of grades, and there are some really good climbs here for beginners, as well as really challenging, fun climbs for highly skilled climbers. I\u2019m a real middling climber, and it\u2019s got a good few climbs to offer me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides the climbs themselves, you also have an absurdly good view of the city and the ocean from here, so once you achieve the top of your climb, you\u2019ll want to linger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/climbing-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guide to climbing in Cape Town<\/a> for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Highlining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Alistair-Pike-highlining-rocklands.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Alistair-Pike-highlining-rocklands.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Alistair-Pike-highlining-rocklands-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Alistair-Pike-highlining-rocklands-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlining is an adventure sport becoming increasingly popular in Cape Town! Highlining is much like slacklining &#8211; walking across a type of tightrope &#8211; except they&#8217;re rigged high above the ground. For safety&#8217;s sake, highlining also includes a lot more gear, including safety ropes, harnesses, and anchors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enthusiasts are rigging lines all over the city&#8217;s natural spaces &#8211; wherever they can find a chasm between two rocky outcrops, at least. While you can set up a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/slacklining-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slacklines and highlines in Cape Town<\/a>, you can also go outside the city to incredible natural spaces like <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/rocklands-cederberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rocklands in the Cederberg<\/a> (featured in the pic above). This is also an incredible spot for climbing and bouldering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Paragliding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/paragliding.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/paragliding.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/paragliding-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/paragliding-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/paragliding-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great bit of fun and a lovely way to see the city is from up in the air! Glenn and I went <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cape-town-l103\/tandem-paragliding-in-cape-town-t82944\/?partner_id=XMJBAX3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tandem paragliding<\/a> for our first anniversary, and it was terrific. You soar through the sky, whipping about and floating up on eddies of warm air. You\u2019ll look out over Signal Hill (your starting point), <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/sea-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sea Point<\/a>, and the far-stretching ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paragliding is also sure to get your blood pumping. Particularly when you have to run off the mountain with your tandem partner \u2013 actually run off! \u2013 and you feel yourself lifting off the ground as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Snorkelling &amp; freediving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jdfnjk1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jdfnjk1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jdfnjk1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jdfnjk1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/photographer\/helen-walne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">underwater photographer Helen Walne &#8212; read my interview with Helen here!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And back to the ocean! As I mentioned, we have a wonderful amount of marine life here on the tip of Africa, and we\u2019ve got some <a href=\"https:\/\/seathebiggerpicture.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">good people working hard<\/a> to keep it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you take to the seas, be sure to wear a thick wetsuit, and ideally some booties, as our waters are very chilly. I went snorkelling for about twenty minutes once without a wetsuit, and it took half a day to recover properly&#8230; It was worth it though &#8211; along with hundreds of brightly coloured sea anemones, I saw a little sand shark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cape Town has a number of great beaches and <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/freediving-and-snorkelling-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dive sites for snorkelling and freediving adventures<\/a>. But if you want to do a guided tour, <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/seal-snorkeling-hout-bay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this snorkelling with seals experience<\/a> was just magical. We loved seeing the seals curling about in the water and blowing bubbles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Spelunking (Caving)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1368\" height=\"912\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/caving.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/caving.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/caving-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/caving-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/caving-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caving in Cape Town is one of those adventure activities that is harder to get right, but is absolutely amazing if you can. And small groups go pretty often, so if you can just find the right people, I\u2019d highly recommend it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We went spelunking in Kalk Bay, and the caves were truly phenomenal. We had to shimmy over deep crevasses, squeeze through narrow slits, and at one point even do a crawl-slip-backwards-and-twist maneuver to make it through. At another, we passed below a ceiling of small sleeping bats! After that heart-pumping experience, we made it to a large cave with little candles placed all around it. So beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Surfing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/best-beaches-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Mother City\u2019s beaches<\/a> are famous for their great surfing conditions, making this certainly one of the best outdoor activities in Cape Town. The <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/best-time-to-visit-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best season to visit Cape Town<\/a> for the surf is definitely winter, as the swell is better, the water warmer, and the wind low!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of learning schools for those of us with no actual experience on the board &#8211; particularly on the long Muizenberg beach, you can easily find a surfing class. You can also find board rental here, making it the best area for visitors to surf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you have your own board and some experience, beaches like Llandudno and Big Bay are terrific fun. You\u2019ll find some strong, smooth waves and great conditions \u2013 you just need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surf-forecast.com\/breaks\/Big-Bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">look out for them<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Sea Kayaking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kayaking-hout-bay.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kayaking-hout-bay.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kayaking-hout-bay-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kayaking-hout-bay-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/kayaking-hout-bay-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing our ocean-based Cape Town activities, we have sea kayaking! And I just can\u2019t talk it up enough. Our oceans here are never glassy-quiet, but they\u2019re so full of marine life, and so richly blue, that a gentle kayaking along the coast is a wonderful way to spend a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can borrow or rent a kayak and explore on your own &#8211; we did this in Llandudno, and we quickly found ourselves surrounded by hundreds of pink pulsing jellyfish. And depending on the time of year and the area you\u2019re in, you can also see dolphins and whales! In the picture above, we&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cape-town-l103\/guided-kayaking-in-hout-bay-t207813\/?partner_id=XMJBAX3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kayaking in Hout Bay<\/a>, where we saw a dolphin mum and calf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also a wonderful way to see Cape Town from the water, and you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cape-town-l103\/cape-town-marine-life-kayak-tour-from-the-v-a-waterfront-t182903\/?partner_id=XMJBAX3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">join a kayaking tour from the Waterfront<\/a> if you want more of a city exploration experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Sandboarding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sandboarding-cpt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sandboarding-cpt.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sandboarding-cpt-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sandboarding-cpt-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sandboarding-cpt-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there\u2019s no opportunity to go sandboarding within the city, you don\u2019t have far to go! Atlantis Dunes are roughly 40-minutes drive out of the city, and they offer fantastic opportunities for some really fun sandboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atlantis looks like a pretty small area from the outside, but once you\u2019ve walked in among the dunes, you\u2019ll be surprised by how far they stretch. You\u2019ll get a real workout walking up them each time, and a heart-pumping joyride going down! Unfortunately, it\u2019s not very easy to find guided sandboarding trips, so honestly, this is more one for the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adventurous things to do in Cape Town<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1296\" height=\"864\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/exploring.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/exploring.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/exploring-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/exploring-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/exploring-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1296px) 100vw, 1296px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, now you know everything I know about the various adventures in Cape Town! It\u2019s an incredible city with so much to enjoy in the air, in the water, and on the mountains. Our natural spaces are just awe-inspiring, and a simple hike among the trees and fynbos is truly one of my favourite adventures in the world. But there\u2019s lots more besides! If you\u2019re eager for adventure, you\u2019re sure to find it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would love to know if you\u2019re inspired to do any of these activities, and how you enjoy it, as well as if you have any additional recommendations I can add to the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our beautiful city of Cape Town is one of the best urban areas in the world for adventure sport and explorations!
