It was a clear day and the updrafts were good for a 20 minute flight. Para-sailing is a great way to see the sights of Cape Town. It starts from down below where I met the instructors near the Bungalows landing field. You drive up to the gates of Lion's Head and then hike the rest of the way. There... More

Playing a retired opera star at the "theatre on the bay" I saw the fliers and decided to have a go. Long walk up the mountain but Mias lent me his hat and gave me his hand to pull me up the rocky path. Then Manu took over and safely flew me down the mountain. A fabulous experience. Thank you.

First time I went with Cape Town Tandem Paragliding was phenomenal - me and my friends got some awesome air time and a really good view of the surroundings. We also had awesome 'tricks' (the full monty as such). So our experience came highly recommended to our friends who came on this flight. We had five friends fly with only... More

I went Paragliding with CTTP in March of last year. We were told we'd be going off Lion's Head and landing at La Med but instead we went off Signal Hill and landed at Seapoint. The view from Lion's Head would've been vastly superior to the view of Seapoint (which is basically just roof tops) and seeing that Lion's Head... More

I am sorry you were disappointed as our objective is to give people an amazing and unforgettable experience. If we fly from Signal Hill it is because that is the way the wind is blowing and we cannot fly from Lions head. We will never force a person to fly even if they are strapped in and ready to go....

Must do if you're in cape town! Manu and his crew were very accommodating and ensured safety first before anything else. They made sure wind conditions were proper fit before the paraglide which helped in making us comfortable and enjoy the ride.

Had a fantastic experience. Went by myself as I was in Cape Town on business. Manu was friendly and professional and the experience was well worth it.
