Gravity Adventures

Gravity offers a variety of micro adventures close to their bases in Cape Town and Onseepkans. Coasteering near Boulders, Simon's Town – rock jumps, snorkelling and swimming.

Whitewater rafting in winter and tubing in summer on the Palmiet River in the beautiful Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. From their base on the Orange River, they offer rafting day trips in the desert. Their latest adventure is River Stand up paddleboarding – the stable inflatable paddleboards are a great platform for a day out on the river.

Gravity is an extension of the team's lifestyle and they run it the way they run their lives – with hard work, lots of fun and an emphasis on the important things in life like kindness, family, friends and respect.
