With its moderate temperature, Cape Town is the whole package, with its beaches and the numerous mountains with flat tops; and most importantly the exciting water sports in Cape Town. Or a quick trip to the Robben Island, just off the shore. This is the notorious island where Nelson Mandela was held, prisoner. It has been now transformed into a living museum. If not the prison, take in the excellent view of the boats leaving the busy harbor for the prison, or the beautiful city, or the excellent beaches, while going up and down the slowly shuttling cable cars, up and down the flat mountain tops.<\/em><\/p>\n

5 Best Water Sports In Cape Town<\/h2>\n

While there are a number of things that you could do in the Cape Town waters; be it for leisure or be it some pumped up adventure activities, it is not possible to include all in a single list. We will exclude activities like sunbathing, swimming, kayaking, as these are true of any sea or ocean facing holiday spot. You could do any of these in any given beach, and does not need to be specially arranged. However, one has to learn the possible hazards associated with any beach, if any, before completely letting go. We have included a few fun water activities to do in Cape Town, which are unique to this city, or extremely stand out of the whole lot.<\/p>\n

1. Shark Cage Diving<\/h3>\n

We have decided to begin the list with an extreme sport, especially for the adrenaline junkies; Diving into the ocean waters in steel cages, with the white sharks. Mind you, this is not for the faint of heart, as the sharks would pass just inches off your face. You could probably put your fingers out to touch them, however, it is highly unrecommended. That is because, however high you might think of yourself, the sharks are many times faster than you are.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this extreme sport is in operation in the town of Gansbaai, a 2 hours\u2019 drive from proper Cape Town. It is officially operated by the White Shark Diving Company (WSDC), and they highly recommend that children younger than 5 years do not join the trip.<\/p>\n
