An hour from Cape Town
Soar between mountain peaks and over deep valleys in the Hottentots Holland — 13 platforms, a suspension bridge over a double waterfall, and slides up to 320 metres. A fully guided 4½-hour adventure in a pristine World Heritage wilderness.
Award-winning
Over 120,000 guests and a wall of five-star reviews — but don't just take our word for it.
The Experience
A zipline canopy tour in the company of soaring eagles, surrounded by Cape fynbos and dramatic mountainscapes. Glide from one platform to the next while our expert guides take care of your safety — no experience needed.
Set in the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve near Grabouw in the Elgin Valley, just an hour's drive from Cape Town. When we opened, Lonely Planet ranked it the 2nd best new tourism experience in the world.
Suitable from age 5, with no upper age limit — our oldest flyer so far was 93!
