Guided coasteering with Gravity Adventures along the sheltered inter-tidal coast near Simon’s Town, combining scrambling, swimming, snorkelling and optional rock jumps.
Coasteering is kloofing that happens along a coastline instead of in a river. You work your way along the inter-tidal zone on foot, in the water and off the rocks, swimming the gaps, snorkelling the clear bits and jumping the drops.
The jumps run up to eight or ten metres depending on the tide, and none of them are compulsory. Nobody is pushed off anything. The section used is sheltered from the south-easter, which is why the water there is usually clear when the rest of the Peninsula is churned up.
It sits on the shoreline near Simon’s Town, so the penguins at Boulders, lunch in Simon’s Town or the run down to Cape Point are all a few minutes away afterwards.
