It\u2019s also heart-pumping fun, as you soar on updrafts, and zip and flip about on the way down. It feels so much like flying, and you\u2019ll be able to see Sea Point, the rocky coastline, and Table Mountain all stretching away below and before you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post is about our experience tandem paragliding, everything you can expect, and also what your options are for proper solo paragliding courses in Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to wear paragliding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear sturdy shoes like trainers or hiking boots, as you need to jog down a patch of hill in order to take flight! And flip-flops would probably fall off never to be found again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long pants and a long-sleeve shirt are most comfortable, even on a warm day, as it can get chilly and breezy; but in summer, vests work too! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re always recommended to bring sunglasses to help with the wind as you fly, and also because there&#8217;s a section where you&#8217;re flying over water and it reflects sunlight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cape Town\u2019s tandem paragliding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059521.jpg\" alt=\"flying over Sea Point with Airventures\" class=\"wp-image-1004491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059521.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059521-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059521-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059521-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you go for a single paragliding session, it will always be tandem paragliding! This is because you need to be properly trained in order to handle your own paraglide. So, instead, you\u2019ll be strapped to a chunky tandem seat, with your guide comfortably behind you. They\u2019ll instruct you and run all safety checks. They can also do tricks with the gear, and take photos as you enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to know about paragliding in Cape Town<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> ~ R1650 ($89)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location:<\/strong> Meet on Signal Hill &#8212; the trip includes t<span class=\"activity-inclusions__test activity-inclusions__test--include\" data-v-3f89552f=\"\">ransfer back to the meeting point <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duration:<\/strong> Time in the air is 5 &#8211; 20 minutes depending on weather conditions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tickets:<\/strong> You can <a href=\"https:\/\/airventures.co.za\/book-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">book tickets here<\/a>, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cape-town-l103\/tandem-paragliding-in-cape-town-t82944\/?partner_id=XMJBAX3\">GetYourGuide<\/a>, or in person &#8212; this is a very popular trip, so if you&#8217;re visiting in Summer or Spring I recommend booking early<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signal Hill paragliding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059501.jpg\" alt=\"view of Sea Point and the Atlantic while paragliding\" class=\"wp-image-1004492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059501.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059501-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059501-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059501-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of Cape Town\u2019s paragliding takes place on <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/signal-hill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Signal Hill<\/a>. That\u2019s because you can easily drive right up to the hilltop paragliding location, whereas on most of Cape Town\u2019s mountains, you\u2019d have a heavy trek up. It\u2019s also at a perfect height for sailing down, and there\u2019s enough wind here to be able to paraglide most days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can book a tandem paragliding trip online \u2014 my favourite tour provider is <a href=\"https:\/\/airventures.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AirVentures<\/a>. Alternatively, you can go to Signal Hill and find an operator there. There are multiple companies offering tandem paragliding here, so you\u2019re likely to find someone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059512.jpg\" alt=\"flying through the air\" class=\"wp-image-1004493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059512.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059512-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059512-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/G0059512-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glenn and I went paragliding for our <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/date-ideas-cape-town\/\">first anniversary together<\/a>, because we thought what better way to celebrate than with an exciting experience. And it was fantastic! We booked our experience online to make things simpler, and when we got there they quickly briefed us on safety and got us strapped in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went again recently with AirVentures, and it was just as exciting and enjoyable! I suppose flying just doesn&#8217;t get old \u2014 which my guide, who&#8217;s been doing this for over 10 years, wholeheartedly agrees with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feels like flying<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chatted to our guides and to each other while we waited for the wind to pick up (which is often something you have to do, otherwise you may end up paragliding for just five minutes instead of fifteen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the wind picked up, my guide walked us into position, and then told me to start running. I can\u2019t explain the experience of jogging along together down the little hill runway, and then just as you\u2019re nearing the end of it, your feet just don\u2019t hit the ground anymore. And suddenly, you\u2019re flying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glenn and his guide followed quickly behind us, and we could shout to each other while we flew. It was incredible, looking out over the beautiful hillside below us. We spun upside down and flipped to the sides and soared smoothly. It was such a fun time, and the guide really made sure it was as great as it could be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Landing in Sea Point<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landing was another bit of fun &#8211; right in the middle of Sea Point Promenade\u2019s grassy patch, we abruptly dropped down, the brightly coloured gear billowing behind us and pulling us about a bit before we wrangled it under control. There were people there to help us unclip, and then when Glenn had landed, we were driven back up to Signal Hill, where we\u2019d left the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And just like that, it was done! The whole experience lasted less than an hour, but it was such fantastic fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solo paragliding courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve tried tandem paragliding before and absolutely loved it, then a solo course is a great option! It\u2019s a pricey hobby, since in addition to the course you need to buy your own gear &#8211; and ideally first hand, considering the risks involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, if you have the money to spend and you dream of flying like a bird, Cape Town does offer a number of solo paragliding courses! You can actually get your paragliding certification at the age of 17, so this is even something parents can do with their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A basic paragliding license course takes about 14 days. You\u2019ll learn safety and theory, and gain hands-on experience paragliding in different conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find course information with <a href=\"https:\/\/flycapetown.co.za\/paragliding-training\">Fly Cape Town<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or with <a href=\"https:\/\/airschool.co.za\/paragliding-training\/\">Air School Paragliding<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Last thoughts on paragliding in Cape Town<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/katja-paragliding.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/katja-paragliding.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/katja-paragliding-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/katja-paragliding-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/katja-paragliding-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The windy city is one of the best places to go paragliding. You easily reach the site due to its central location, making it possible even for spontaneous adventures. And Cape Town\u2019s ever-present winds allow you to stay up in the air for longer. It\u2019s also just such a beautiful city to soar above, giving you a unique view over rocky coastline, fynbos-covered hills, and always, Table Mountain looming behind it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/adventure-activities-in-cape-town\/\">Check out more of our favourite adventure activities in Cape Town here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paragliding in Cape Town is one of the best ways to see the city.
