2-Day Garden Route Bungee Jump, Zipline & Shark Cage Diving from Cape Town
Two days of high-adrenaline choices along the Garden Route: bungee, zipline and a shark cage dive. Expect early pickups, guided transfers, and weather-dependent scheduling that favors safety over speed.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check weight and age limits
Operators enforce strict weight and age limits for bungee and cage diving—confirm your eligibility before booking.
Bring a breakfast pack
Pick up an early breakfast pack from your hotel for the initial long morning transfer to Bloukrans Bridge.
Dress in layers
Wind at the bridge and spray on the boat make lightweight layers and a windbreaker essential.
Sea‑sickness prep
Take anti‑nausea medication if prone to motion sickness—boat rides can be bumpy when hunting sharks.

What accommodation is provided?
The tour includes one night B&B in Knysna with three accommodation tiers (backpackers to 4‑star) chosen at booking.
What happens in bad weather?
Activities are weather‑dependent; high winds or rough seas can lead to rescheduling or cancellation with the operator’s refund/cancellation policy applied.
