Exhilarating & peaceful - Thank you to Josh & Mark for absolutely tremendous flights! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the peace & tranquility flying above the streets & buildings below looking over all of Cape Town, complete with whales in the bay below! Over too quick! Thank you Mike for arranging & your team at the top for speedy paperwork & take off.

Mike and Earl were great! Thanks for my making my first paragliding experience awesome! - The day I intended to do the paragliding was postponed but Mike was being precautious and advised to either wait for the wind to possibly die down or I could come back another day at an earlier time when weather was better. I followed his advice and decided to return the next day at an earlier time and glad I did! Mike and Earl (my pilot) were professional in how they handled and explained things. Friendly and approachable and answered all questions that I had. I would highly recommend this company and already have. Thank you for making my first paragliding experience pleasant and super fun!

Paraglide Over Cape Town - Great organization amongst the launch area chaos. My pilot was fabulous, took great, memorable videos and photos. My friend was not so lucky. After prepaying for the photo packags, her pilot took very few acceptable photos. It was a waste of $40US.
If they are picking you up at your hotel, please note that returning to your hotel is YOUR responsibility. They will not take you back. Be sure to have access to Uber.

Tandem Paraglide Fun - My first paragliding experience and I loved it. Mike was very organized despite all the chaos around him, and my pilot was super. Felt very safe at all times.
One note of caution: I booked thru TripAdvisor, and even though I was picked up at my hotel to go to the launch site, it wasn't clear that I was on my own for the return to the hotel. I was expecting them to take me back, and it led to a bit of a discussion. They were adamant so I had to take an Uber back. Not a HUGE deal but it's a shame that it left a little bit of bad taste in my mouth.

Good experience but wouldn’t do again - The paragliding was very good. However the total time in the air was 10-15mins and not 40mins. Great views and Josh was really good. It is very weather dependent and strong winds can influence this
