Paraglide and Kayak in Cape Town

Combo of Parapax Tandem Paragliding Flights and Kayak with Dolphins

Cape Town

Activity Description

Enjoy an exhilarating tandem paragliding flight from Signal hill or Lions head. It is by far probably one of the most exciting adventure sports in Cape Town.

No other activity would let you enjoy spectacular panoramas of the Table Mountain, the City Bowl with no windows to block your view! No matter how nervous you might feel before takeoff (or for some, even the very thought of paragliding), the experienced team will put you at ease.

Once you are in the air enjoy a birds eye view of one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

DurationOpen Ended
WhenThis service is available all year round 7 days a week, weather dependent.
WhereWE ALWAYS MEET AT THE VERY END OF SIGNAL HILL ROAD, under the first thorn tree, on the take-off site, at the parking place, (NOT at the Lions head parking lot) when we are flying in Cape town. Meet our friendly Parapax staff (look for our orange/Blue branded t-shirts and red caps). Pictures and videos will be ready as soon as you land for extra R300 cash NB: Please always check with us before you drive up to the mountain to confirm latest weather conditions at least an hour or 2 before, easy and quick way to contact is whatsapp/call us at +27828814724.
WeatherThis service is very weather dependent.
What to WearPlease bring sensible, good, closed shoes (running shoes/trainers/sneakers/takkies – whatever you like to call them). Mountain and hiking boots are even better. Any kind of sandal, Croc, flip flop, flopflip, or anything that flips or flops is NOT good. If you don’t have closed shoes, just tell us and we have every sized shoe with us (better bring your own shoes ifyou can). Clothing-wise, wear shorts if its hot, but generally Jeans and a T-shirt with a windbreaker is the best bet. We include everything needed for the flight (helmets and all flying equipment) as well as water, suntan lotion, snacks and refreshments. Naturally, it’s best is to drink lots of water and use that suntan lotion before arriving.
Things to BringSun-block (sunscreen) and hat (it’s often sunny and we don’t want you getting sunburned!) and drinking water! Always wear comfortable running shoes
Guests or SpectatorsSpectators can wait on the ground for the guests to return

Notes

We always meet at the very end of Signal hill drive, once you get to the parking area you will be welcomed by our take off manager Witness, signed up and briefed on the launch. Once you’re securely clipped in, all you need to do is take a few light steps before you’re flying! With an expert pilot behind you, you will feel just great!

Tandem paragliding gives you an amazing sense of freedom. Once in the air, most people are surprised at how relaxed they feel. You’ll sit comfortably upright (like on your sofa at home). You won’t feel like you’re sinking or falling at all, since you glide, nearly horizontally, through the air at around 40 km/hr.

In optimal weather conditions you even have the chance to fly the paraglider yourself! Your instructor will place his hands above yours to show you how to steer. It really is quite simple and really, really fun! This, like the aerobatics before landing, are completely optional of course!

Customer Reviews

It was a perfect Fly. Everything went great. The booking, the communication and last but not least the pilot "Frank". Hope, i see you again. Marry Christmas and a happy new year Frank - Frank Penkert


It was an incredible experience!! The entire team were amazing and friendly. I'd highly recommend Parapax for their exceptional service. - Fahreen Bandali


Good service and timeous communication - Braam fourie


Wonderful experience. Great service. Many thanks to our pilots Frank and Sebastian. - Corinna & Volker


Parapax is THE company to go with for your paragliding experience! The team were flawless in their pursuit for you to have the best experience possible and we're very experienced, professional and fun. It was incredible and an epic way to take in the scenery, we did a bit of 'air acrobatics' (my favourite part (but you don't have to do this if your not comfortable)) and I even got to steer a few turns!! Thanks Parapax it was a blast! - Sally Wilding


Activity Description

The beauty of Table Mountain, Lions Head and the Atlantic Sea Board coastline from the comfort of our kayaks is unrivaled.

Our 2-hour Kayak Tour will take you along the stunning Atlantic Sea Board coastline from the V&A Waterfront, past the Green Point lighthouse, before cruising back to base.

Dolphins, seals, penguins, Sunfish and occasionally whales frequent our Cape Town waters and while we may not be lucky enough to encounter all this beautiful wildlife on every tour, we can assure you that all your senses will be tantalized.

Let’s go Kayaking …
