Cape Town launch site
Signal Hill, above the Atlantic.
One of Cape Town’s favourite launch sites, looking over the city, Sea Point, Lion’s Head and the ocean.
The launch
Cape Town opens below you.
Signal Hill is where we fly most often, with a straightforward launch and beautiful Atlantic Seaboard views.
Your pilot chooses the launch site on the day. We confirm the exact meeting point after assessing the wind and weather.
Flights normally land near the Sea Point promenade or Green Point, depending on conditions.
Planning your flight
No paragliding experience is needed. Your qualified tandem pilot fits the equipment and explains the short assisted run at take-off. Wear closed shoes and bring a light jacket. Allow about 45 minutes to an hour for the experience; airtime varies with the conditions.
A flight costs R1,700 per person, with photos and videos available for an optional R400. See flight prices and how the day works before booking.
Can I choose this launch site?
The launch is confirmed according to the weather, rather than guaranteed in advance. Read about our weather checks, or compare Lion’s Head paragliding. Book early in your visit to leave time to reschedule if needed.
