Adventures in Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the few cities in the world that offers adventure travelers a wealth of options all in one place. Although it is situated right on the water on the southern coast of Africa, it's also located right by a massive mountain and yet still offers access to plains and jungles, where travelers can venture out on safaris. All of these opportunities make Cape Town a great choice for those looking for adventure.

Many travelers could simply stay on Cape Town's beaches for a week and never run out of things to do. There are plenty of spots for surfers, as well as opportunities for paragliding and other water sports. Those who want to explore more can charter a boat and head off the coast for some big game fishing or scuba diving in numerous shipwrecks.

Yet travelers who stick to the beach will miss one of Cape Town's other adventure travel hotspots, Table Mountain. This massive landmark offers travelers the opportunity to try out rappelling or rock climbing. Less adventurous vacationers can simply enjoy a leisurely hike or mountain bike trail.

No matter what they choose to do, visitors to Cape Town will have plenty of options when it comes to adventure.
