Wonderful lifetime experience

ChengWu_X, Apr 2024

Everything is perfect. Please order the video and photos. I missed my original booked slot, Mike sent a driver to pick up me from the parking lot. I believe that the best time slot is 5 or 6pm one. Thank you Mike and Chris!

Paraglide Over Cape Town

Frank_L, Apr 2024

Great organization amongst the launch area chaos. My pilot was fabulous, took great, memorable videos and photos. My friend was not so lucky. After prepaying for the photo packags, her pilot took very few acceptable photos. It was a waste of $40US. If they are picking you up at your hotel, please note that returning to your hotel is YOUR responsibility. They will not take you back. Be sure to have access to Uber.

Exhilarating & peaceful

Tanya_W, Apr 2024

Thank you to Josh & Mark for absolutely tremendous flights! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the peace & tranquility flying above the streets & buildings below looking over all of Cape Town, complete with whales in the bay below! Over too quick! Thank you Mike for arranging & your team at the top for speedy paperwork & take off.

Good experience but wouldn’t do again

Aaron_D, Apr 2024

The paragliding was very good. However the total time in the air was 10-15mins and not 40mins. Great views and Josh was really good. It is very weather dependent and strong winds can influence this

Worth The Wait

leland_l, Feb 2024

Wow……this was such a great experience, a must do it you like adventure. We had two days before departing home, we booked an 8:30am jump but Earl called and said the weather was not good and to try next day. Called him next day and weather wasn’t any better so we were sort of out of luck. Earl said if weather would change he would call, we got lucky in the afternoon got the call and hustle to Signal Hill . We got there within the hour but too late the wind changed. Earl said we just missed it and that was it for the day but we could hangout, might get lucky …..15 min later we got to paraglide. Hans and Earl were great, my son and I will never forget this , so cool gliding over Cape Town!

A must do. Go go go. What a thrill. It's as if you are resting on a cloud. Don't miss it. The views are spectacular

No transportation advertised in the booking process

AdrilMujinga_M, Jan 2024

No picking up to the Montain offered as suggested while booking online. Seems to be a misunderstanding between the company and the viator (booking platform).

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks Adril for flying with us 😊

Elizabeth_M, Dec 2023

This has to be one of the best experiences we did in Cape Town. A big thank you to Mike for managing to reschedule this before we boarded our flight. The team are all experienced and put you at ease immediately. A fantastic experience that is a must, we all just wanted to do it again. Thank you guys for such a memorable day.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thrilling, exciting.

Aleksandr_R, Dec 2023

Great instructor Chris, made me feel safe and secured during this paragliding experience. The only downside was a waiting time before the flight because of the weather conditions.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Aleksandra for your feedback 😊

Brilliant experience

John_K, Dec 2023

Brilliant! Finally made it after two postponements due to strong winds. Well worth the wait. Great service from Mike on the arrangements and Chris on the flight itself. Always felt safe and secure. A memorable experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you John for your feedback

You won't regret going with this company.

Michael_C, Dec 2023

Wonderful experience. A must-go! Everything is well-taken care of. I loved how the go-pro photos and videos were transferred to my phone on the spot. Do note that "pick-up included" doesn't mean pick-up from your hotel. It refers to pick-up from landing spot to take-off spot if needed. A bit mislabeled if you ask me, but I would still highly recommend this company for their professionalism. Also the view from up there is awesome! Ask for the "rollercoaster"!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Michael for the amazing feedback

A thrilling adventure!

nonkululeko_n, Dec 2023

I am actually scared of heights. I had a failed attempt taking off because i was scared but the Mike, Chris and the other guy knew what they were doing. As soon as we took off i because relaxed and enjoyed. What thrilling adventure that was. I enjoyed it so much. Definitely doing it again when we sre in cape town. Great team 👏
