We offer excellent Pub lunches, dinners or just delicious cake and tea. In the evenings we have a 2½ hour sundown cruise with a cocktail and a three course meal. We value your choice and offer something new for old and young. We also adapt our prices for all our senior citizens
5) Skydive in Mossel Bay:
Skydive Mossel Bay offers you the experience of a lifetime! Do a tandem skydive from 10 000ft strapped to an experienced tandem instructor and enjoy the free fall on your 1st jump! No experience required. After a short briefing we strap you into a tandem harness and you are ready start your adventure. 1st, we ascent to altitude in the aircraft and for 20 minutes you get a fantastic scenic flight over the bay area. Then it’s time to jump out! Before you know it, the tandem master has you out of the aircraft and in free fall. We'll free fall at 200 - 290 kph for up to 40 seconds. While we "Body Surf" the wind, we can do controlled turns, speed diving, and burn up the sky. All too quickly you will find the parachute opening and your adrenaline charged free-fall transitions into a quite peaceful parachute decent, where you and your instructor can talk and share the moment with you.



During the 5-7 minutes it takes to reach the ground your instructor can provide either a sedate gentle ride to the ground or a more radical roller coaster experience demonstrating spins and stalls as he skilfully takes you to our landing area.

TABLE MOUNTAIN.
Table mountain was and is still the most unbelievable                  
site to see, and with the Airial cableway to the top
you can all but admire the proses it took to get it there.
The site from on top of the mountain is spectacular.
But don't let me spoil it for you go and have a look.
                                                                                                

As you  can see there  is quite a lot to see and do.

  • Go for the big bang- In the early days of the Cape colony, a lookout stationed on Signal Hill kept watch over Table Bay - and fired a signal cannon to warn residents of the approach and nationality of incoming ships. Wherever you are in Cape Town, you'll hear the loud boom of the Noon Gun fired from a battery on the lower slopes of Signal Hill at midday since 1902. Waiting for the big bang up-close is exhilarating. Set your watch precisely, cover your ears and join the countdown with the kids


  • Go shipwreck spotting- Keep your eyes peeled. The treacherous coastline around the Cape Peninsula is littered with shipwrecks. On your way to Cape Point on the Atlantic seaboard, the road via Chapman's Peak passes the wrecks of over a dozen ships from the Aster (1997) to the Clan Monroe (1905) visible near Kommetjie. Some of the most famous shipwrecks can be seen just off the coast from the Cape's top beaches: the Romelia (1977) off Llandudno, which strong swimmers can swim to offshore - the Antipolis (1977) off Oudekraal and the Seafarer (1967) off the promenade along Mouille Point


  • Light up lighthouses- The coastal road from Cape Point slithers like a snake down the cliff-face to Kommetjie, a tranquil little seaside village which means little basin. Guiding ships through the stormy waters of the Cape, Slangkop (Snake's Head) is the second most powerful lighthouse in Africa.


  • Go underground in the sewers- See Cape Town from a whole new perspective. Walk in secret underground passages to the Castle of Good Hope. The guided sewer tour starts in Vredehoek and follows 2km of drains to a dramatic outlet point at the Castle. A real adventure into the bowels of the old city. Not for the claustrophobic
