Good to know
Questions before take-off?
Everything first-time flyers usually ask about weather, safety, booking and the day itself.
Can I book a same-day flight?
Yes. Same-day bookings are often possible when the weather is suitable and slots are available. WhatsApp is the fastest way to check.
Can I fly if I have never done it before?
Yes. Tandem paragliding is designed for first-time flyers. Your qualified pilot controls the take-off, flight and landing.
Who can fly?
Passengers must be at least 14 years old, weigh no more than 100 kg, follow pilot instructions and manage a short run at take-off.
When can we not fly?
We do not fly in rain, unsuitable wind direction, excessive wind or other unsafe conditions. Signal Hill has a 30 km/h wind limit; Lion’s Head conditions are assessed daily.
What happens in bad weather?
We try to reschedule your flight. If it cannot take place or be rescheduled, any advance payment is fully refunded.
Is tandem paragliding safe?
Every flight uses certified equipment and an experienced licensed tandem pilot. Conditions are assessed on the day, and we do not fly when they are unsuitable.
What should I wear?
Closed sports or hiking shoes are required. Long pants and a light jacket or windbreaker are recommended, with warmer clothing in winter.
What should I bring?
Bring your cellphone with about 2 GB of free space if you want GoPro media, sunglasses, and cash or card for optional extras.
Can I get photos and videos?
Yes. Full-HD GoPro photos and videos are available as a R400 optional extra and are transferred directly to your phone.
How long does the experience take?
Allow about 45 minutes to an hour for briefing, gearing up, take-off, flight and landing. Airtime varies with the weather and cannot be guaranteed; in excellent conditions it can reach 20 minutes.
Are the instructors licensed?
Yes. The instructors are registered with SAHPA and operate under SACAA approval through DTO SACAA/0025/DTO.
Can people with disabilities fly?
Every case is different. Contact us so we can assess weight, mobility and weather considerations and arrange a suitable booking where possible.
