Viewing: The Cape, a paradise of adventure tours
Tuesday, September 01, 2009
An adventure tour, to boldly go where few others have gone before; these are the fruitful dreams of explorers that wish to venture deep into the Amazon, or to climb the perilous cliffs of Mount Kilimanjaro. Let's step it down a notch though and keep it real with these Cape Town adventure tours that offer spectacular adventure. • Ride a Harley through the glorious countryside
The wheel, the steel and a delicious meal at the end of the road are all promises of a thrilling drive into destiny. There is nothing quite like a ride on one of these hogs. The torque of your bike is perfectly tuned to give you power and control on any corner. The beast growls as you twist the throttle, keenly relaying power and delivering unmatched performance! Routes are freely-mapped; this ensures an open-road experience bar none. What African adventure tour would be complete without exploring the way the good lord of motorbikes, William S. Harley intended? Tour the Cape in a day - be the road, become the spirit of adventure. • Shark diving made easy!
The Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town is host to many fish and greater marine life, such as the mighty shark. Have you ever had a hunger deep down in your soul for shark-related thrills? Then diving with the sharks in a contained habitat is the natural solution for you! Many adventure tour operators offer such a tour, with the best part being that you will be in an enclosed space which is easier to navigate and virtually incident-free. Swim inside the great tank that contains the ragged tooth predators of the deep and conquer any latent fears you may have. Sharks are very misunderstood and only attack humans due to our seal-like shapes – they actually despise the taste of human flesh! Dive with the sharks and swim with the largest predator in the ocean. • Tobogganing, in Africa?
It's true! Tobogganing is a reality, and within the Northern Suburbs stands a massive tobogganing track. The Cool-Runnings Toboggan Track, which is opposite the Bellville Velodrome in Tygervalley, is the first and best toboggan run in Africa. Who needs snow with this exciting summer version of the last word in downhill racing? Sweat pours from your brow as you slip into the bobsled; muscles tighten as the announcer counts down and your heart pounds like a leather drum when the sled begins to shoot down the track. You wind around corners with white knuckles and shoot down the straights as the wind blows its sweet melody into your face. All of this and it is 100% safe, a 1.25km winding track of thrills. Once the race is complete, you will be automatically pulled to the top, ready for your next exhilarating ride. Feel the rhythm, feel the ride, get on down - its adventure tour time! Want more? Abseiling, Dragon Boat races, jet flights, river rafting, paragliding and many more adventure tours in Africa are yours to choose from. There is no better way to explore Cape Town then from the viewpoint of a fast moving vehicle, or from the peaks of Table Mountain. Search the internet and discover which adventure tour is right for you.
