Instructional, introductory tandem paragliding flights in Cape Town
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.
In Cape Town, we provide instructional training paragliding flights from Signal Hill and Lion's Head. The launch site we use depends on the wind direction at the time.
Instructional training flights vary in duration and it is not possible to guarantee a specific flight time due to the changeable nature of the wind and weather conditions in Cape Town.
Our tandem paragliding flight instructors (TFIs) are all highly experienced and love to fly. They will always try to prolong the flight while ensuring safety.
Table Mountain National Parks (TMNP) do not allow tandem paragliding flights from Table Mountain.
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!

We've rebuilt our website from the ground up — faster, cleaner, mobile-first, and packed with new features. Here's what's changed and what's coming next.

Every now and again we are lucky enough to paraglide off Lion’s Head. The wind has to be just so, south west, not too light,...

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 GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent must do
