Flight time varies depending on weather conditions, especially wind and lift. Our pilots always aim to maximise your time in the air—if we can stay up longer, we will.

If you’re looking for guaranteed airtime, paragliding may not be suitable as it is entirely weather-dependent.

No. However, if you’d like to fly again, we may offer a discounted second flight—just ask your pilot after landing.

Yes, provided it is securely attached (e.g. with a lanyard). This is done at your own risk.

We also offer professional photo and video packages so you can relax and enjoy the experience. You’ll be able to view your footage after landing before deciding to purchase.

Yes. After landing, our shuttle will take you back to the launch site. You can also depart directly from the landing area.

Paragliding is a form of free-flight using a lightweight, foot-launched glider.

You’ll be securely harnessed in front of a certified instructor who controls the flight. No experience is required.

Cape Town is one of the most spectacular places in the world to paraglide. Lion’s Head and Signal are the only sites that we fly from because of their location and the stunning views of Table Mountain and the Cape Town area. There are many other flying sites nearby, including, Sir Lowry’s Pass (just past Somerset West), Franschoek and Hermanus. Tandem paragliding instructional flights are a great way of getting into paragliding and experiencing the joy of freeflight. The length of your flight time cannot be guaranteed as we are relying solely on the wind to keep us in the air, you may go straight down or be able to fly around for a while, the length of your flight will depend on the wind (and several other factors) at the time of your flight – we love to fly and if we can stay up, we will! 

As one of our paragliding students you do not require any previous knowledge of paragliding at all. Your instructor will give you a full preflight briefing on everything you need to know before the flight. It is important that you listen to your instructor’s instructions. Take offs are easy (just a few steps usually) and landings are generally soft (we land on a large grassy field). We will provide instruction on how to ensure a safe and easy take-off and landing, including understanding the weather, equipment and some fundamental knowledge of aerodynamics.
