About Gravity Adventures

Gravity Adventures -  We take you just that little bit out of your comfort zone and into a place where you will connect with nature, your friends and family and, most importantly, with yourself... Based in Cape Town, South Africa, we offer a variety of water based adventures around town and further afield...

Micro Adventures: Always innovative, Gravity offers a variety of micro adventures close to our bases in Cape Town and Onseepkans. Coasteering near Boulders, Simons Town – rock jumps, snorkelling and swimming (with penguins if you are lucky). Sea Kayaking and Day cruises in the West Coast National Park. Whitewater Rafting in winter and Tubing in summer on the Palmiet River in the beautiful Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. From our base on the Orange River, we offer rafting day trips in the desert. Our newest adventure is River SUPping – our stable inflatable paddleboards are a great platform for a day out on the river.

Multi Day Wilderness Tours: This is where you unplug from modern day life and relax. The Orange River Gorge in the Northern Cape trip offers desert rafting at its best whilst the Maluti Meander showcases the mighty Orange nearer its source. The Doring near Clanwilliam delivers a weekend of whitewater action whilst the iconic Zambezi and White Nile need no introduction. All trips are run as self contained expeditions and lead by our professional guides.

Group & Bespoke Adventures: From corporates to schools to friends and family, we will tailor make an adventure to suit your needs and budget. A morning on the water, a day on the beach or perhaps a fully fledged multi discipline adventure programme or team build, we will make it happen. Looking for a complete southern African adventure package? We have the knowledge and the network to put together your dream trip.

Accommodation: Our portfolio includes Indigo Blue Beach House and Baby Blue Beach Cottage, on the beach in Langebaan as well as Baby Blue Too, our cute and cosy houseboat. Further north, Red Rock River Camp offers a tranquil campsite on the banks of the Orange.

Adventure Guide Training and Asessments: APA, IRF and NQF accredited training and assessments for paddling guides. Whether you are looking for a gap year, vacation job or a career in adventure, our training courses and industry relevant advice will get you started.
