An exhilarating experience. - I was apprehensive about the safety of paragliding but this company were very good and I felt it was safe. You obviously have to sign lots of disclaimers but the equipment was good and Halil who was doing the flying, he filled me with confidence, thanks Halil!! There isn't a safety briefing or anything and take off instructions were brief and rushed but I wasn't worried and it was well worth it because the experience is incredible and shouldn't be missed! For us, it was windy and cloudy, not the conditions we had wanted but I would still recommend such an incredible opportunity to do something I couldn't ordinarily!

Definitely doing this again! - What an experience! The instructor (Mehmet) was an amazing person to fly with. His energy prior to the flight was relaxed and reassuring which is great for inexperienced people. Besides that the guy flew everywhere in the world and you notice his passion which is awesome to see and exactly what you want in an instructor. Besides that the flight itself was exhilarating. The moment that your feet leave the ground and you realize youyr flying feels unreal. After that you're just smiling all the way down. If I'm back in Cape Town I'll definitely do this again.

A do not regret experience. The pilots literally end up taking friends for a flight. - Halil was an amazing, considerate, patient and professional resource in every sense of the word. Gerrie, was such an brilliant pilot, awesome, awesome awesome. Collectively the group, company, were such great human beings - let alone pilots and flight guides. No worries with this outfit. Don't doubt, these are the people. Just note, this is all weather dependent, and if you are prepared to wait , this crew will make it happen. Completely worth all weather delays.

Must do - When I say amazing I mean it, from the friendly, knowledgeable, and incredible pilot.. yes pilot well worth it. From someone deatly afraid of heights, I was comfortable and put at ease, and definitely not scared at all, in fact I just might take up the sport. If you feel disappointed with weather conditions please just wait it out after all it's Cape Town the weather will be in your favor at any given time. Massive shout out to Halil, thank you for igniting my passion for flying.

Phenomenal experience, just do it! - Amazing paraglide with Khalil. My tour guide had informed Malvern about my interest in wanting to do a paraglide. Malvern contacted me to arrange a suitable time and the whole process was seamless. On the day of the paraglide, safety instructions are provided and I was in safe hands with my guide Khalil. The whole experience is just phenomenal and breathtaking taking.

Fly Cape Town tandem paragliding - left a group of us alone waiting on the Lions Head mountain in the rain 02.01.2026 - Summary: There are other more organized & efficient companies - rather book there. These guys left a group of us tourists waiting for our jump - after hiking up Lions Head. Unfortunately communication of today’s cancellations was disastrous. Howard basically ditched us on Lions Head. He only explained when we called that he wasn’t coming back up. We were initially booked for 01.01.2026 at 15:00 and cancelled due to wind speeds on signal hill. Rebooked to 02.01.2026 at 12:00 where wind speeds were problematic on signal hill. We were advised to hike up Lions Head and wait - we watched as others took off and were told to wait for pilots to land and they would walk back up to fetch us. We waited & waited & waited up there and eventually I called. This is when I was told pilots aren’t coming back. So if I had not called we would’ve waited even longer, in the rain, on the mountain watching others take off. We walked down 14:30. Please don’t treat customers like inanimate objects - we need communication & updates especially if cancellations are being decided. This was beyond unprofessional & unacceptable. At least have the decency to walk up to the customers / a give us a phone call timeously to advise us of cancellations. Yes, the weather is not in your control - but you shouldn’t just ditch people without prompt communication of cancellation.
