Parapax Tandem Paragliding in Cape Town

PARAGLIDING
  • About 1 hour

Description

Enjoy an exhilarating tandem paragliding flight from Signal Hill or Lions Head. It is by far probably one of the most exciting adventure sports in Cape Town.

No other activity would let you enjoy spectacular panoramas of the Table Mountain and the city bowl with no windows to block your view! No matter how nervous you might feel before takeoff (or for some, even the very thought of paragliding), the experienced team will put you at ease.

Once you are in the air, enjoy a birds eye view of one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

Itinerary

We always meet at the very end of Signal Hill drive, once you get to the parking area you will be welcomed by our take off manager Witness, signed up and briefed on the launch. Once you're securely clipped in, all you need to do is take a few light steps before you're flying! With an expert pilot behind you, you will feel just great!

Tandem paragliding gives you an amazing sense of freedom. Once in the air, most people are surprised at how relaxed they feel. You'll sit comfortably upright (like on your sofa at home). You won't feel like you're sinking or falling at all, since you glide, nearly horizontally, through the air at around 40 km/hr.

In optimal weather conditions you even have the chance to fly the paraglider yourself! Your instructor will place his hands above yours to show you how to steer. It really is quite simple and really, really fun! This, like the aerobatics before landing, are completely optional of course!

Very reliable and trusworthy provider of tandem flights from Signal Hill or Lion's Head in Cape Town. Whenever conditions are flyable make sure to hook up with them for an unforgettable view of the Mother City. Although adrenalin-laden as a passenger it must be stressed that all their tandem pilots are highly experienced, reassuring and calming, exactly what you need to guarantee an amazing experience. At all time, the safety of pilot and passenger are paramount. So leave all worries behind, and 'get high' to experience 'the second best thing'!!!

Yeeeeeeehaw! Just got back from an exquisite tandem paraglide with Frank. I was very very rigid in the fact that I wanted to fly from Lion's Head, which meant I waited three weeks while in Cape Town to fly from my preferred spot, but I'm here for a while so I had the luxury of being able to be picky.

Parapax called me when Lion's Head was a go, and holy smokes what a ride it was. Around 12 minutes in the air taking in sweeping vistas of Lion's Head, The Twelve Apostles, and Cape Town's glorious coastline.

Frank was friendly, enthusiastic, and really added to my overall experience. The team is friendly, efficient, and accommodated my specific request so I can't recommend this outfitter highly enough!

Thanks Parapax!
