One for the Cape Town bucket list.
Cape Canopy Tour is a guided zipline adventure inside a World Heritage Site, in CapeNature's Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve in the Elgin Valley, just over an hour from Cape Town.
A safari-style open-top 4x4 takes you up the mountain, about 30 minutes, to where the slides start over 1,000 m above sea level. From there it is 13 elevated platforms, connected by 11 slides and a suspension bridge over a double waterfall. The longest slide runs 320 m.
Apart from the path in and the 1 km path out, the tour leaves no trail on the mountain. Between the platforms you travel by cable. That is how we reach a sensitive, previously inaccessible wilderness without leaving a mark on it, and it is why every booking carries a R100 conservation levy.
About 4.5 hours, fully guided, two guides and never more than nine guests. Everything is included: your safety gear, the 4x4 up and back, and people who do this every day.
Suitable from age 5, with no upper age limit. Our oldest guest so far was 93.
Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Best of the Best, ten years running, which puts us in the top 1% of experiences worldwide. When we opened, Lonely Planet ranked us the second best new tourism experience in the world.
Base camp has a snack and merchandise shop, good coffee and free Wi-Fi.
