If you are looking for an exciting new activity to try while visiting Cape Town, this tandem paragliding flight is perfect for you!

Not only is paragliding over Cape Town an invigorating experience, but it is also a safe one! Your expert pilots will dedicate plenty of time to brief you on the take-off and landing procedures of the flight, equip you with top quality gear, and execute careful pre-flight checks and a pre-launch observation. No previous paragliding experience is necessary to partake in this tandem paragliding flight over Cape Town, and once you are airborne, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and take in the magnificent panoramic views around you!

Depending on the wind conditions, your paragliding flight over Cape Town will depart from the famous Lion's Head or Signal Hill, both located above Cape Town in the Table Mountain National Park. After a few gentle steps, you'll glide off and paraglide over Camps Bay and Clifton before landing either on Camps Bay or in front of The Bungalow. When it comes time to land, you simply need to straighten your legs and body and take a few steps as you touch the ground. All in all, the sensations of soaring through the air via parachute are truly out of this world and will be sure to create unforgettable memories of your time in Cape Town!

Excellent experience. First time for me paragliding and my pilot, Jacques, could not have been better.

I can’t recommend this activity enough! It feels like flying, there’s the most amazing release being so high, it’s like you’re on top of the world. I would even recommend this to people who have a fear of heights because at no point do you feel like you’re in free fall. You feel 100% secure the entire time, and when you run off the hill, you’re in the air before you’ve reached the edge. The most amazing experience, I would love to start every day like this. The only down side is the weather- because it’s so precarious and can change within an hour, we had to rebook our flight twice. This was obviously no one’s fault and I applaud the instructor and owner of Icarus for being so safety conscious, but it can affect your other plans, so just something to be mindful of. It’s worth getting in touch with your instructor an hour or two before flying.

A very enjoyable experience with well-knowledged pilots. Their skill and personalities would calm even the most nervous flyers and really adds a lot to the experience.

The most exhilarating thing to do, was so amazing. The views were incredible and the feeling of flying was better than I imagine. We booked it on a whim last minute and were so glad we did. We managed to go off Lions Head and had a good long flight.
