What an amazing experience. Flying above Cape Town gives you a wonderful view and Hi 5 really gave us the best experience we could get. It was our first flight and we felt totally safe and welcomed. We had a lot of fun before, during and after the flight. All around we can highly recommend Hi 5 for paragliding :)
