Romantic ideas for Cape Town

Hot air balloon ride

Experience the beauty of the Winelands from a hot air balloon drifting over the vineyards and valleys in the Berg River Valley region between Paarl and Malmesbury.

Start the day early to avoid strong winds that tend to pick up after sunrise. Meet at the launch site at 5am. Find the sunrise at the spot where the sky meets the earth .

Romantic cruise

Try this sunset boat cruise for a stunning end to a summer's day. This is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable ways to see a picturesque slice of the Cape coast, with a flute of some of the finest bubbly in one hand while the other shades your eyes from the light of the setting sun.

Shark cage diving

After breakfast and a brief introductory talk, you can land in the direction of Dyer Island, about 25 minutes off shore. They usually launch at around 9am. Once a premium viewing area is reached, the anchor is dropped, cage lowed and ascent trail made. Diving starts when the sharks arrive. www.bookcapetown.com
