We booked the activity just at the night before and they responded quite quickly to confirm it.
The whole event was well communicated and we enjoyed the process.
The paragliding was beautiful but a bit short due to very low wind that morning. Nevertheless, I did not regret doing this. Thanks Tandem Flight Co.

Best experience ever! I would highly recommend trying paragliding. My instructor made me feel comfortable and the company prioritises safety.
Lateesha_W, Mar 2026
Absolutely worth it! It’s a short ride but felt long enough to get the experience. Highly recommend. The pilots are so kind! PS. Don’t schedule this on your last 1-2 days as the wind determines flight so you may need to reschedule for reasons out of their control!

This was an amazing experience! I was pretty nervous at first, but my instructor, Halil, was incredible and immediately made me feel at ease. He was professional, reassuring, and made the whole experience truly enjoyable. I can’t recommend him enough.
The only downside was the scheduling and communication. We originally booked the 6:30 AM flight and were asked to move it to 7:00 AM, which we agreed to. However, when we arrived, we were told our company wasn’t there yet. Unfortunately, no one communicated with us about the delay, and they didn’t arrive until around 8:00–8:30 AM. Additionally, some of the crew assisting with the paperwork weren’t very friendly.
Despite the delay and communication issues, the paragliding experience itself was unforgettable, and we still had an amazing time.

Great experience and thoroughly enjoyed the journey of the mountain. Very dissatisfied with the afterwards part. We paid 400 Rand each for the video and photos. We uploaded my wife's journey however my journey wouldn't upload. All my details were taken and was promised they would be sent later that day via email/whatsapp.
Nothing has arrived even after sending numerous messages/emails to them asking where the video/images are?
Very, very disappointed with this as its not everyday you do this activity and have nothing to look at or show family what a wonderful experience it was.
Heidi_C, Mar 2026
This was so much fun. Felt like a bird flying free in the sky while looking at amazing views. Run to do this!!
Terrance_F, Mar 2026
Very dependent on the weather which is totally correct, the day it was planned had too much wind we went the next day with very little wind, this meant a backlog of people waiting to fly and the flight felt a little rushed. However it was a great experience and well worth going highly recommended. The pilots were excellent and friendly. The GoPro was good value for money so I would recommend paying the 400 rande extra.

Diana_S, Oct 2025
Unfortunately the wind conditions were never right for me, so I ended up not paragliding after trying twice. I still had a good experience: the pilots and staff were professional, the starting location was beautiful, and the company was great about sending the refund.
If you have your heart set on paragliding during your time in Cape Town, I would recommend having flexibility in your schedule if your first attempt falls through - you’re at the mercy of the wind. Additionally, wind conditions are often unfavorable around sunset (but it’s absolutely gorgeous on the hill, so you might still find it worth trying).
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Diana, thank you for the amazing review and we hope to fly with you next time you are in Cape Town 😊

Wow, what an amazing experience. I decided to go paragliding for the very first on my actual birthday. What an experience! The view if Cape Town from the sky is breathtaking. I flew with Earl and I can say he was so kind and very patient with me, he is absolutely the best. Thank you Earl for making my birthday a day that I will never forget. I highly recommend this tour.

Brooke_V, Sep 2025
Wow this was fun! It was quick and exhilarating. Earl flew with me and he was very kind. Would definitely recommend.
Only thing to note is since this is so weather dependent we only were notified about 1 hour before if we were flying or not!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Brooke, thank you for the feedback 😊
Aran_R, Sep 2025
This is quite an experience if you like thrills! It's a different perspective to enjoy the city and the views! Try booking it as early on during your trip as this activity is weather permitting and it can get canceled on the day of and be rescheduled for later. The entire team was excellent on communicating and providing me with options. I would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Aran, thank you for feedback 😊

Tahlia_H, Sep 2025
This was a wholesome amd amazing experience The instructors were amazing and the views were absolutely stunning. I just got back from an incredible paragliding experience and I'm still grinning from ear to ear! The views of Cape Town were absolutely stunning, and the sense of freedom and thrill was exhilarating.
Our pilot was experienced, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the flight. The takeoff and landing were smooth, and the whole experience was well-organized.
If you're looking for an adventure that will push you out of your comfort zone and leave you feeling elated, I highly recommend paragliding with these guys. Can't wait to do it again!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Tahlia, thank you for amazing feedback 😊
Larcy_M, Aug 2025
The tour was canceled due to bad weather. Mike asked me if I could do the ff day for the 5:30pm schedule but again canceled.
Can I be refunded?
Thank you
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Larcy, Sorry paragliding is weather depended and the refund was issued. Hope to fly with you next
Monica_C, Aug 2025
Operating company was very organized and very punctual, however, I thought the flying was rather short and flying low. But the pilot said cold weather would not make enough hot air to go high. Understood!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you Monica for feedback 😊

Brilliant experience with excellent instructors.
We opted for the 6am glide and it was brilliant, I was put at ease as I was a little nervous. We were well looked after, I would definitely recommend.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you very much for the amazing review Rebecca 😊
Bri_R, Jan 2025
Very unaccommodating, they will only call you once then cancel. I had issues with my phone, something out of my control on the day of my birthday & they still had open availabilities all day but still declined to take me even though it was paid for.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Unfortunately that's not true and we tried to be in touch with WhatsApp, email and you didn't even respond to any...
Charlene_R, Jan 2025
Hi
We have not had this express yet. I received a call from 0625017847 advising me that the 18:30 slot would not work due to wind. We moved it to Friday 10th at 9am. I then messaged to move it to 6am on Friday which the person responded saying they can do. I have heard nothing since. No confirmation of anything or pick up etc.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
We tried to accommodate you although the short notice from you. And you end up canceling last minute.
Robert_G, Jan 2025
Pick up can be a little confusing as they use two different sites for takeoff luckily called operator morning of flight and they picked me up and took me to that days launch point. Everybody was courteous and helpful and my flight instructor was very patient and removed my concerns as it was the first time I had gone Paragliding. The flight itself was extra extraordinary and he made the landing effortless very happy with the whole experience.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you Robert for flying with us 😊

Its a short ride but a good one! I had my own action camera on a selfie stick attached to my wrist. But if you want footage, they can provide you with it too
