We have been looking forward to doing Paragliding and I received top-notch service from Hi5 Paragliding, confirmation of my booking through email and WhatsApp, that they consider my safety their utmost priority. They had to cancel due to unfavorable weather conditions which made me feel valued, that its not just about money making but to give the best experience in a safe environment. We enjoyed flying high and the roller coaster move made it more epic. thank You so much.

In a place of highlights our paragliding in Cape Town was memorable. The team at Hi5 were fantastic, ensuring both safety and fun for my son and I. When fog played havoc with our initial booking Morgan communicated very efficiently and rescheduled us , whilst the expertise of our pilots Grant and Roux made the flight smooth and exhilarating. Its a great way to take in the mountain and the sea and I recommend it as a must-do activity for anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you to everyone at Hi5 (including Tatenda and his ground crew) for the experience 👍

Oh goodness don't mention the fog, felt like a 90s horror movie, My heart. It's awesome to hear we were a memorable highlight of your holiday. We are always happy to receive your badges
We love what we do and have a dedicated team, passionate about getting everyone up into the air. It's an addictive sport full warning.
It means so much to all of us, to hear you had a wonderful time with the whole team. It's a great flight route over the city down to the beachfront. We hope you and your son will remember your flight for decades to come. :)
Until you are next in town, all the best Morgan and the HI5 Team 👍

We had an amazing and fun time with the Hi5 team, and can't recommend this enought. The booking was very easy, and the staff responded quickly to any inquiries we had. They even recommended us changing our booking time to the morning (we originally scheduled it for evening), to give us a better chance of flying. There was about an hour of waiting around for the wind to change directions, but the instructors were great about keeping us informed and entertained during that time. It only didn't feel like an hour of waiting (helps that it's a great view of the city). There were a couple different groups flying from the same area, but it felt like the Hi5 team did their best to prolong the flight as much as possible compared to those teams. The instructions were easy to understand ( and perform), and even the person afraid of heights would go again.

Without a doubt one of the best experiences you can enjoy in Cape Town. I totally recommend doing it once in your lifetime! All the members of the Hi5 team, starting with their communication via WhatsApp to the time of the flight, were super attentive and professional. My pilot Grant was super friendly and made me feel at ease before our take-off. I had an absolute blast, and I'd repeat it again and again! Thank you so much!

Both pilots (Henrick and Britt) were awesome and made our honeymoon vacation that much better by giving us a paragliding flight that was totally worth it. Kudos to the admin for Hi-5 that worked extremely hard to ensure we were properly informed for our flight time since it had to be moved due to wind conditions. Hi-5 is totally awesome and would recommend to anyone coming to Capetown.

Paragliding off Signal Hill was absolutely amazing, such fun and a much smoother and gentler experience than I expected it to be!
We had perfect weather conditions and managed to get really good height and a longer flight than usual :)
Hi5 are also an amazing service provider - Naomi who assisted with a last minute 'rescue' booking was so kind and helpful, communication was impeccable as she kept me up to date with developments, and the whole team is really passionate about paragliding. I flew with Heinrich, who was very knowledgeable and reassuring and really made the whole experience that much more enjoyable.
If paragliding is a bucket list item for you , I would definitely recommend booking with Hi5 as they are undoubtedly the best!

Hi5 Paragliding was most definitely one of my best experiences. I can’t believe I waited so long to paraglide. It truly is the purest form of flying. The team is highly professional and fantastic to chat with. Hi5 succeeded in scheduling our booking in such a way that we were able to fly before the weather change on that day. Hi5 will definitely be seeing me again.

I flew with Ruard. He is a skilled pilot and I was comfortable with him in control of everything. It was easy to follow the few instructions and I could just enjoy the experience without any fear. The take off and landing were seemless!! The ride was out of this word!! Gliding above CapeTown in my front row seat, The booking and communication about the flight arrangement were perfect an very professional. Although the flight had to be postponed because of weather conditions, they kept me informed and I felt that my safety was important.

We highly recommend Hi5 to anyone thinking about paragliding in Cape Town.
We surprised my (still young at heart) grandmother with a tandem paragliding experience with Hi5 for her 80th birthday, and our experience with them before, during, and after the flight was nothing short of amazing.
We were immediately impressed with the website, and with the friendly assistance we received from Naomi when making our initial enquiry. After finalising the booking, Naomi was in constant communication with us, advising us on the best time to come through to ensure we got the best possible flight.
On the day, they really went the extra mile to make sure my grandmother felt special. Grant, her instructor and one of the owners, was so good with her, always making sure she was at ease and having fun. They were even in touch with us again to find out how the flight went and if my gran enjoyed it (which she truly did!), adding another personal touch to an already fantastic service.
Thank you so much once again to Grant, Naomi, and everyone who made it such a memorable experience for my grandmother. She absolutely loved every second of it, and is looking forward to telling everyone about it for years to come.

I had an absolutely amazing tandem paragliding experience with Ruan at Hi5 Tandem Paragliding! He was very professional, friendly and really eased my nerves prior to the flight. The communication with the team prior and on the day was excellent and thorough. The flight itself was an unforgettable experience with skilled Ruan even doing a few exciting twists and turns prior to landing me safely at my husbands feet! Was a great price too compared to others and paying extra for the photos and video is totally worth it.

Could you take a Uber to the place to meet and how far is the meeting point from the waterfront area
Written 7 December 2022
I used Uber both ways from the meeting place...very economical, was about $5.00 Can to harbour area. You get to walk up the trail to the launch area, probably 500m, but is uphill.
