Keen on adrenaline? Try the SKY-Hi Ride at this Cape Town hotel

It has been described as “exhilarating, gravity-defying and breathtaking” so you need to experience Cape Town’s first-ever ride on top of a hotel at Hotel Sky in Lower Long Street and embrace the Ratanga Junction nostalgia we all have.

The SKY-Hi Ride is located on the 28th floor of Hotel Sky in Cape Town and boasts loads of exhilarating fun and beautiful views. You will be able to experience a full panoramic view of the beautiful Mother City in a unique and extremely fun way. The SKY-Hi Ride is one of three of its kind around the world and the first one on the African continent!

On the ride, you will slowly creep your way up and then swoop down at a free-fall speed of up to 100km per hour! Imagine that!
