We are a paragliding company and that is what we do so it is quite likely we are off flying right now.
So, if it is the evening, a rainy or windy day you will probably get a speedy reply to your web enquiry.
If it's a perfect flying day, more than likely we are out paragliding and will only be checking our email a bit later.

Tandem Paragliding in Cape Town

In Cape Town, we paraglide mainly from Lions Head and Signal Hill. The paragliding launch site we use depends on the wind direction at the time. Sometimes we start flying from Signal Hill and then move across to Lions Head as the wind changes throughout the day.

Tandem paragliding flights vary in duration and it is not possible for us to guarantee a specific flight time due to the changeable nature of the wind and general weather conditions in Cape Town. We only fly in conditions that allow us to launch and land safely. Our tandem paragliding flight instructors are all highly experienced and love to fly. They will always make every effort to give you the longest (up to 30 minutes) and most enjoyable flight possible. In general flights in Cape Town can be anything from 5-30 minutes in duration.

Table Mountain National Parks do not allow commercial tandem paragliding flights from Table Mountain, although a few of our passengers have been lucky enough to fly across there with us when weather conditions have allowed.
