These guys are the best.
I thought I wouldn't glide after we couldn't find a helmet to fit my well sized "Head"
After a few twists and turns and trying on every so called BIG helmet the team finally declared me safe to glide and I had a beautiful experience.
Well done guys, keep up the good work✍

Me and my family,manager & kids went. Me and my son has a fear of heights. The team at Dolphin paragliding made us feel so comfortable. Forgot about the fear of heights. We had an awesome time. The paragliding is beautiful. I wanted to stay there. My 11 year old wanted to go again. I would recommend the Dolphin Paragliding to families,couples,kids,old and young. You have to experience it to know how awesome it is.

Wow, what a chase for wind, crazy exciting! Once I showed interest, the team was super committed to make sure I received the experience. Leading up the appointment, they kept me informed about the weather conditions and we had to move the time and place slightly to catch the wind. Once I was there, it was an incredible experience, the staff were competent and friendly and I had the best time!

WOW!!! What an experience!!! The best part is it is for the whole family, no matter what your fears, once you are up in the air and in the hands of some of South Africa's most capable glider pilots one can only but enjoy the most amazing scenery! We even saw some whales in the distance, you soon forget the time as you enjoy the most beautiful piece of scenery that the Garden Route has to offer, it is a different world once you are up in the air. Even my 11 year old (who took the 1st flight) couldn't stop talking about his experience. For the ABSOLUTE best adreniline experience, there is NO better experience than Dolphin Paragliding!!! They will defenately see us again!

Thank you team Dolphin for today. I loved every second. Will most definitely recommend you guys to everyone.
I was so scared driving up the hill, you both made me feel comfortable and at ease so quickly.
The flight will be a memory I cherish forever. The views where amazing, I haven't felt so alive in ages and best selfie ever🙃
You make a mean team🌸

How to start?
I had always wanted to fly and happened to be in the Wilderness area, so Rose Greyling Bilbrough* - a friend of mine I initially met on Instagram (@gotravelbug) - drove me to the flying venue.
After paperwork and being asked whether I wanted to use my MicroSD in one of their action cams (I chose not to but to enjoy my first flight), I was rigged by Micheal and ready to fly with Deon.
Up we went and, WOW, he made it so enjoyable (as I asked him not to impress me but make it safe and pleasurable), explaining what he was doing and why and that was really reassuring as I’m afraid of anything I can’t personally control.
If you’re looking for a team of skilled professionals with a fun, welcoming approach.. Dolphin Paragliding is the facility to choose.
*Rose is a tru energy bomb and personally knows loads of places you would NOT happen upon unless you were, not only a local, but Rose!
From Oyster tasting, to great eat outs, to awesome beaches and remote forest trails, she’s the person to contact.

Thank you Deon and team for an exciting and memorable paragliding experience this morning. The four of us, all newbies, (with husband and two teens) had an amazing flight and Deon’s 25+ years paragliding experience makes for relaxed, safe and comfortable flight. We are hooked! Regards, Silvi

The service was amazing. The weather was not too good, however I got to do it twice. The pilot was so kind to allow me to go for a second time, because of the weather limiting us on the first one.
Great service and your money worth going with Dolphin Paragliding

I'd recommend this experience for any adventurous couple out there. It's our honeymoon and we enjoyed the adrenaline rush whilst it was also relaxing (souring in the air with a birds view over beautiful Sedgefield) and very safe. The people are very professional and kind and made us laugh all the way. Great one-of-a-kind bucket list experience.

Thanks we love to give the best flight possible and on days when weather provides us with good conditions and nice thermal then we climb high above Sedgefield and see all the way to Buffalo bay and /wilderness . The views were amazing on this day and its a pleasure to share.
