Skurweberg Zipline Mountain Adventure: Private Zipline Tour from Cape Town
Ride eight ziplines across the Skurweberg Mountains on a private full‑day tour from Cape Town. Expect long glides, valley views over Koekedouw Dam, and a mix of vineland and mountain scenery.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning pickups
Morning departures avoid afternoon wind that can make higher platforms colder and slightly windier.
Wear sturdy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes with good traction make short platform-to-platform walks safer and more comfortable.
Hydrate and bring a refillable bottle
Bottled water is supplied, but a refillable bottle keeps you topped up for the drive and hikes between lines.
Bring sun protection
High sun, reflective dam surfaces and exposed ridge sections make sunscreen and a brimmed hat important even in cooler months.

Conservation Note
Operators emphasize low-impact infrastructure and guided line usage to protect fynbos and prevent erosion; visitors are asked to stick to paths and carry out waste.
The Skurweberg area is part of the Cape Fold Belt; local valleys around Ceres have been cultivated for fruit since the 19th century and support small wine and farming communities.
