Gravity Adventures – Coasteering on Cape Town’s Wild Coast

Experience the thrill of Cape Town’s coastline like never before with Gravity Adventures’ coasteering tours, where adventure meets the raw beauty of the ocean. Inspired by Rachel Carson’s description of “the edge of the sea,” coasteering is all about exploring the mysterious, ever-changing strip where land and ocean collide.

Our coasteering adventures begin near the famous Boulders Beach penguin colony along False Bay, offering a perfect mix of excitement and marine discovery. Led by experienced guides and supported by a safety boat, you’ll scramble over sea-slick granite boulders, leap into turquoise waters, and swim through towering kelp forests, which have been recognized as one of the world’s seven natural wonders. Along the way, explore hidden coves and golden sandy beaches ideal for relaxing and soaking in the sun.

Gravity Adventures provides all the essential gear for a safe and comfortable experience, including wetsuits, life jackets, snorkels, and goggles. Whether spotting playful penguins, curious octopuses, or other incredible marine life, coasteering offers a unique window into South Africa’s rich coastal ecosystems. This activity blends exhilarating physical challenges with a close-up connection to the natural world, making it ideal for both adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.

Coasteering can be combined with a scenic hike at Cape Point or a visit to the penguin colony, and bespoke arrangements for a beachside lunch can be made for a truly unforgettable day. From adrenaline-fueled leaps into the waves to tranquil swims among kelp forests, coasteering with Gravity Adventures is the ultimate way to explore Cape Town’s rugged coastline.
