Skydive

Knysna, South Africa
Skydive Plett offers an epic tandem skydiving experience over the scenic Garden Route, taking you up in a light aircraft to about 10,000 feet before you free-fall at ~200-220 km/h for around 35 seconds, then float down under parachute.
Set in one of South Africa’s most beautiful drop zones, you’ll drift over awe-inspiring coastline, lush Knysna forests, and ocean views — especially dramatic during whale and dolphin seasons.

Tandem Skydiving at Skydive Plett is a heart-pounding freefall adventure where you take to the skies on a ~20-minute flight before your jump from about 10,000 ft, soaring over the Knysna forests and Plettenberg Bay coastline.
With your experienced tandem master (13+ years), you’ll experience a ~35-second freefall at ~200 km/h, followed by a graceful parachute descent and scenic landing — with choices of airport or beach landings depending on weather/schedule.
