This cool team were fun , enthusiastic professional and confident. Although we had to wait for better wind conditions the time spent watching students and experienced gliders was a great way to spend a couple of hours. The flight itself was amazing - the pilot confident and reassuring. Would definitely recommend and certainly do again. Book now and enjoy a new experience. Thanks everyone 😃

I'd wanted to try paragliding before but thought it looked too scary and risky, but a spur of the moment choice led me to the most amazing flight experience in a spectacular setting. My pilot Marcus was exceptionally skilled, was calming and gave me an exhilarating flight and inspired me to consider learning to paraglide. The ground crew were great, one of them even lent me his shoes as all I had were slops! Thanks for the experience of a lifetime!

This is a must do experience when visiting Cape town. The Paraglide team was professional and quite amazing. I was kept in form and knew exactly what was happening and when. The experience of lifting off from Signal hill was something I will not forget. It took two steps and we were in the air. The flight gave me the most amazing views of Capetown and the shoreline. These are views that will stay with you. I would have stayed in the air for the full day if I could. At no stage did I feel unsafe it was just sheer pleasure. My pilot kept me informed of what to do during the take of and the landing and it all went smoothly. I traveled back up signal hill with the pilot in an uber. Amazing team of people that ensure a great professional experience.

Having only one tandem paraglide in the bag many years ago I was a little apprehensive and excited to go again. Wayne and the team made me feel very comfortable and at ease. From the set up on Signal Hill with safety top of mind, Wayne talked me all thr way through. We had amazing weather and I absolutely loved it! Fantastic feeling and I was walking around with a big smile of my face for the rest of the day. Highly recommend, just brilliant.

I had a fantastic experience. Wayne picked me up from my hotel for a morning glide. Unfortunately the weather turned the day before and we had to postpone the initial booking. However the team was in direct contact with the hotel advised me to change the booking.
It's very safe to paraglide when safety comes first with the agent. This was very clear to me before, during and after the glide. I got the choice to go for a slow dive or an exciting one. I can surely recommend the more 'exciting' one. Wayne, thank you for an awesome experience and hope you had a great time in the Netherlands / Switzerland!
