Plan your trip around an event or local sights
There are many things to fill the day with. A good stop is to find the local tourism board's website. To search, type in something like, "(City Name) tourism board" or "(City Name) tourism department" or "(City Name) tourist board" or "(City Name) tourist department" and you will be sure to find a wealth of information about local festivals, exhibits, and celebrations. One good search is "Things to do in (City Name).

As well as giving you a hint for where you may want to go, this may also give you a heads up on where not to go. For instance, if there is going to be a loud rock concert in the main square, and this isn't what you are looking for, then you may want to plan something on the other side of town.

 

Plan your trip around activities
What do you like to do that you don't ordinarily have the chance to do? Do you like to paddle around lazily on a lake in a boat? Do you enjoy browsing through quaint hat shops trying on goofy hats for kicks then maybe sampling some music at a music store (maybe picking up something for the ride home). Music, especially local music, is a great way to bring the memories back home. If you see a show by a local artist that you enjoyed, do pick up their latest album. It will be a source of warm recollections for years to come.

 

Plan some relaxation
Whether it's a mudbath or a hot tub or just having a quiet evening alone with your partner at our establishment, be sure to put that on your getaway itinerary. One thing you will find is that going out having fun is exhausting, so be sure to plan some time to just relax.

We have a specialist that do massages ect.  Please ask us to help you with these relaxations.

Rent a bike for the day and ride along the beach!

Bird watching is a great way to enjoy the scenery!

Skydive Durban is situated at the Pietermaritzburg (Oribi) Airport in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, 65km from Durban.

Due to year round good weather we are open from January to December and 7 days a week.

Skydive Durban offers Tandem Skydives, no previous experience is required. After a ground briefing you are taken on a scenic 25 minute plane ride up to jump altitude (10 000ft).

You are then firmly attached to a qualified and experienced tandem instructor.  We exit the plane and freefall for an exhilarating and unforgettable 35 seconds, then float to earth under parachute. During the 6 minute parachute decent you get the opportunity to fly the canopy. The instructor will take over for the landing.

The cost is R1350.00 for the tandem skydive, a DVD of your experience is R400.00.

There is a restaurant with an open thatch roof seating area offering light meals, snacks and refreshments at the Airport and braai facilities at the Skydive Centre.
