As you enjoy the amazing feeling of freedom and the spectacular views, once you get comfortable paragliding, you can even pilot the paragliding wing yourself with the assistance of your pilot. But be warned, it's so easy that doing so is highly addictive and you will want more!

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 :)

This is definitely a worthwhile experience, even if your flight is short like mine was. Turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Cape Town.
