Every year, hundreds of thousands of people from around the country descend upon Durban. The city has such a unique vibe, with its colourful people and cultures rivaled only by the old architecture and the spectacular scenery. The cobalt blue ocean is laced by white foam as it breaks onto the golden beaches, which make way for the cityscape. The warm sun makes the city sparkling as the sparse nature becomes more populated on the outskirts of the city towards the rolling green hills for which Kwazulu Natal is so famous.

Its beautiful atmosphere and lush surrounds lend itself to provide locals and visitors alike with many fun things to do in Durban, when you need a break from the busy malls.

Awesome Fun Things to Do Durban 

Let’s be honest, the hot, humid Durban weather can take some getting used to. That beach sand can get HOT! So while you’re on holiday in the city, you’ll need the occasional break from the fun, sun, and sea. Here are some of the fun activities in which you can participate.

Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city by booking a scenic Microlight Flight from Groutville Airfield across the beautiful coastline. You’ll take in the spectacular views between Ballito and the Tugela River Mouth as you glide through the fresh air. Alternatively, learn to fly a small aircraft from a professional flight instructor.

Moses Mabhida Stadium, where the 2010 Soccer World Cup semi finals were hosted, offers an exciting and interesting Segway Experience which incorporates a tour of the stadium. While you’re there, do the Xtreme Bridge Swing from the top of the beam. It’s the world’s tallest swing, so you’ll earn major bragging rights.

If you like the roar of a powerful engine underneath you, take advantage of a Harley Davidson Pillion while you’re in Durban. A city slicker bike ride will draw attention from onlookers as you cruise down busy streets on the back of the enigmatic motorcycle. Alternatively, you could take the open road into the country, giving you an opportunity to take in the amazing sights and stopping off for a quiet lunch somewhere. Why not treat the whole family to a Harley Davidson convoy?
