Had the best experience first time paragliding! Was fortunate enough to have Carolina as my instructor and driver. She was a blast, super nice and a lot of fun in the air!! I  I’d do this again in Cape Town in a heart beat and personally request her to be my instructor next time in town.

We recently went Paragliding with Cape Town Tandem Paragliding and might I say that everything from the start to the end was spectacular! They accommodated our every whim! They met us as Lions head whilst I was still hiking down the mountain and saved me a trip going all the way down and back up to the starting point on Lions head by having me sign the indemnity and make payment there. They even made sure to bring my husband an extra pair of boots since his shoes weren't ideal ! That was only the beginning. We then met the 2 most outstanding pilots! Carolina and Tim. They had a very pleasant and inviting demeanor and put all my nerves at ease ! They explained everything in a very fun manner and put the excitement into the whole activity! We spoke throughout the flight and Carolina guided me through a very soft and easy landing! The best part ! As we started getting out of our gear the pilots already started uploading all of the 153 pictures and videos straight onto our phones ! We took a relaxed bus drive back to Lions head,  scrolled through out pics and said our goodbyes ! The best value for money. Thank you for a wonderful experience !

One of the most fun things you can do in Cape Town or life in general! The overall team was fantastic, from booking to prepping for the actual flight. Tim is an awesome pilot, he exhudes calmness, is super friendly, warm and professional, so for whoever is worried about flying, don't be! The flight itself is absolutely amazing, a very relaxing and freeing experience, the best views, and had the opportunity to do some cool tricks! Would highly reccomend for anyone who wants to experience something different!
