Fly Cape Town Paragliding Offers Expert Guided Paragliding Tour Packages

Our expert Guided Paragliding Tours vary from single day trips to one, two or three week tours.

Normally the best conditions for paragliding tours are from October to April. Our paragliding tours packages includes airport transfers, bed and breakfast accommodation, transport to and from take-off sites, weather forecast and expert site briefings.

We do also offer SIV training and ground handling clinics as optional extras. Guided Paragliding Tours packages are tailored to the specific needs and experience levels of all pilots or groups. Radio instruction (if required) is available from our expert Guides / Instructors. We plan the tour around the local weather patterns.

Cape Town offers a mixture of coastal soaring to thermic cross country conditions. Cape Town is surrounded by the beautiful Winelands of Constantia and landmarks like Table Mountain and Cape Point. On non-flyable days we have the option to go wine tasting in the wine regions of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch or go for a scenic site seeing drive along the magnificent coastline to Cape Point and Hout Bay.

Our very reliable XC site is Porterville where we have hosted a Paragliding World Cup in February 2013. The site record is 170km and this is the Mecca of Cross Country paragliding in South Africa. Here the XC hungry pilots can clock up the kilometers or the lower experience level pilots can work on perfecting their thermalling skills and technique.

The Garden Route offers easy relaxed coastal soaring with some spectacular views of white sandy beaches and the warm Indian ocean. Come brush up your ground handling skills with our optional Expert Ground handling clinics or enjoy soaring the beautiful 12km stretch of beach at Paradise ridge. Sedgefield offers a combination of thermic soaring and short XC flights are possible as well as connecting them to coastal soaring sites like Gericke’s Point and the Beach Hotel.On non-flyable days we have the option to visit Cape Addo Elephant park where you can witness the Big 5 in its splendor or visit the beautiful town Knysna.

Come and experience true South African hospitality coupled with the paragliding experience of your life!
