Cape Town’s tandem paragliding school since 2007
Fly from Signal Hill or Lion’s Head with SACAA-licensed instructors
No experience needed
All our instructors are full time professionals with years of experience, approved by SAHPA and licensed by the SACAA.
We work closely with Table Mountain National Parks to ensure all flights are conducted to the highest level of safety.
We are long standing members of Cape Town Tourism. Look for us in the official Visitor's Guide.
We have instructed people with paraplegia, quadraplegia, prosthetics and all manner of other disability.
Tandem paragliding in Cape Town means flying from Signal Hill or Lion’s Head, with the Atlantic Ocean below you and Table Mountain beside you. You don’t need any experience. Every flight is an instructional tandem flight with one of our SACAA-licensed instructors, who flies the wing while you take in the view.
Which mountain we fly from depends on the wind on the day. Most flights launch from Signal Hill, and when the wind is south westerly we fly from Lion’s Head. You land on a big grassy field in Sea Point or Camps Bay, and our shuttle takes you back to the launch site.
A flight usually lasts 5 to 20 minutes. The air decides, so we can’t promise a time, but our pilots fly these sites every day, weather permitting, and always stay up longer when it’s safe to. Table Mountain National Park doesn’t allow tandem flights from Table Mountain itself.
Flyers must be 14 or older and weigh up to 120 kg. Wear closed shoes and long pants. Add inflight photos and videos to get the whole flight on your phone, or give someone the experience with a paragliding gift voucher.
The paragliding school was started by Manu Wegmershaus in 2007 shortly after moving to Cape Town in 2005.
We are a registered Declared Training Organisation (DTO). DTO No. SACAA/0051/DTO. View our DTO certificate.
All our TFIs are highly experienced, approved by SAHPA and licensed by the SACAA.
We offer instructional, introductory tandem flights for anyone 14 years and above.
We can fly people with disabilities too!
We use amazing GoPro cameras to capture insane video and photos of your instructional tandem paragliding flight — all the action, all the emotion! The inflight photos and video are an optional extra. If you want them (most people do), we upload them directly onto your mobile phone!

No. Your instructor flies the paraglider. All you do is take a few running steps at take-off, and your instructor talks you through it first.
Flyers must be 14 or older, and under-18s need a parent’s consent. The weight limit is 120 kg.
Usually 5 to 20 minutes. It depends on the air on the day, so we can’t promise a flight time, but your pilot will always keep you up for longer when it’s safe to.
From Signal Hill or Lion’s Head, depending on the wind. You land on a grassy field in Sea Point or Camps Bay, and our shuttle takes you back to the launch site.
Closed shoes and long pants, with a light jacket. Sunglasses help too, because the sun and wind can make your eyes water.
Paragliding depends on the wind and weather, so we only fly when it’s safe. If we can’t fly at your time, we move your booking to another day and your payment moves with it. See our refund policy for refunds.

Leah Trainer16. August, 2026.What a thrilling experience! The company was a pleasure to work with and were actually very accommodating regarding the scheduling. Winds canceled our initial ride and they worked closely with us to ensure we can still get a chance to do it another day, working around our schedule to accommodate. We felt safe throughout the flight. It is highly recommended to get the photo/video package. The memories are incredible. There’s nothing that can compare to flying like a bird in the air. And the views are out of this world. Seeing the mountains, the ocean, and city nestled between them; all laid out in front of us, was unbelievable. Our instructors explained everything to us and even offered to let us take the controls for a few minutes. Highly recommended!Posted on Google
