Ultimate Cape Town Adventure: Ziplining in Constantia Neck with Breathtaking Views

In the wondrous realm of Cape Town, nestled in a place so convenient that even GPS devices high-five each other, lies Constantia Neck. It’s the kind of location you can reach by horse-drawn carriage or rocket ship, thanks to its accessibility from all major transport routes, including the Hop-on, Hop-off City Sightseeing bus, and perhaps even hot air balloon (though we recommend checking the balloon’s landing skills).

Upon your arrival, you’ll be greeted by guides who will attempt to welcome you without breaking into interpretive dance – although, be prepared for anything. They’ll provide a brief introduction on what to expect, which could range from “mild excitement” to “your hair is about to stand on end.”

Before you go zipping through the air like a superhero, a full safety briefing and demonstration will be conducted. If you’ve ever dreamt of experiencing a PowerPoint presentation in the wild, this is your moment. Then, you’ll embark on an epic journey into the mountain, courtesy of a trusty 4×4 vehicle, which is the mountain’s equivalent of a luxury limousine.

The Zipline experience will have you traversing cables that start high up in the mountain and bring you down ever so gracefully, or so they claim. The platforms offer visitors the most amazing panoramic views of Cape Town – views that are so breathtaking, they may consider offering supplemental oxygen.

The tour boasts 7 cables in total, making it one of Africa’s longest Zipline Tours, stretching for approximately 2.3 kilometers – so, bring your pedometer. The highest cable from the ground to the canyon floor is a staggering 155 meters, which is roughly the equivalent of one and a half football fields stacked vertically.

The duration of this adventure is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, though the exact duration depends on your group size and how many selfies you decide to take mid-air.
