Embark on an unforgettable paragliding adventure in Cape Town, exploring the scenic beauty of the city from the skies. Our instructional training tandem flights take off from either Signal Hill or Lion’s Head, and the launch site is chosen based on the prevailing wind conditions. The flexibility allows us to adapt to the changing winds throughout the day.
While we can’t guarantee a specific flight duration due to the variability of wind and weather conditions, our experienced Tandem Flight Instructors (TFIs) are dedicated to ensuring a safe and enjoyable paragliding experience. The instructional flights adhere to strict safety protocols, and our TFIs, approved by the South African Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (SAHPA) and licensed by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA), are passionate about sharing the thrill of paragliding.
Typically lasting between 5 to 20 minutes, these instructional tandem flights provide an exhilarating introduction to paragliding. We prioritize safety while striving to extend the flight duration, offering you a unique perspective of Cape Town’s captivating landscapes.
Please note that tandem paragliding flights from Table Mountain are not permitted by Table Mountain National Parks (TMNP).
