Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus)

Over the moon would recommend to the world, best experience ever, thank Jason for being so accommodating on the last minute

What an unforgettable adventure! The whole experience was absolutely amazing! The team was professional,friendly and made me feel incredibly safe from start to finish.

Amazing experience with Icarus flying over Sea Point with breathtaking views of the African Sunset. Thank you to Jacques for making this my best experience of a lifetime.

Hands down, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From start to finish, the entire experience was worth every bit of time, money and effort. The guides were incredibly friendly, kind and supportive. My sister was really scared at first, but they patiently walked her through everything, reassured her and helped her feel comfortable enough to enjoy the experience far more than she ever expected! And one piece of advice: don’t hesitate to book the photo and video package! It might cost a little extra, but trust me, having those incredible moments captured while you’re literally on top of the world is worth every penny! I’m genuinely so grateful for this unforgettable experience, and I would do it again and again without a second thought! 🤍

We went paragliding for the very first time in Cape Town and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We put our trust in Jacques and Jason, and they were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly professional, friendly, and reassuring, making us feel completely comfortable and safe from start to finish. The flight itself was truly unforgettable — soaring high above Cape Town, taking in the breathtaking views of the coastline and mountains, and experiencing the incredible feeling of freedom that comes with flying. It was such a unique and exhilarating experience that we’ll remember for a long time! We absolutely loved every moment and would 100% recommend Jacques and Jason to anyone looking for an unforgettable paragliding experience in Cape Town!

Perfect experience!!! HAD A GREAT TIME WITH JACQUES & JASON🙌🏻🙌🏻

This was the best experience of my life. Uncle Jacques is amazing and makes the experience extra special. Best Birthday gift ever!

Amazing experience! The team was very excellent, professional, and super friendly. They made me feel comfortable the whole time and I enjoyed it very much.I Highly recommended for anyone wanting an unforgettable paragliding experience!

My partner and I booked paragliding for Mikey’s 60th birthday 🎁 he had been paragliding before, but a first experience for me. We had Jacques and Jason- both awesome instructors. They were very professional, very kind and made sure we were comfortable before takeoff. It clearly appears that they both love what they are doing. They made this experience unforgettable. Highly recommend and a 60th birthday 🎁 to remember for Mikey. Thank you both so much. Helen and Mikey 🪂 🪂

The experience was spectacular and Jacques is a professional when conducting his work

Such an awesome experience! Cannot recommend enough!! If you’re thinking of doing it, just do it…you’ll regret it if you don’t. Pilots Frank and Seb made it such a super fun flights. Swooping views of the beautiful city.

It was amazing. I was so so scared but they made me feel so comfortable and guided me into para gliding

They truly made my trip even tho there were many set back do to strong winds. They stayed in contact with me and made it happen definitely will book with them again

2nd time over. Much thanks to Jason & his team for the life changing experience. Captain & John gave us the an incredible experience, so much fun. Thank you guys. Can't wait to go again. You guys are the best.

Thank you So much to Jacques & Jason for making my first ever paragliding experience so amazing. It was an unforgettable adventure with breathtaking views. Both Jacques & Jason were professional and friendly which really helped to put my nerves at ease. Thank you for the adventure.

I had a wonderful time with the Icarus team! Jason picked me up early and took me to the jumping point, and Jacques flew out with me. Both of them were perfect gentlemen, and i’m already thinking of booking again. The only bad thing is that the whole experience was too short 😆. But definitely recommend! Best day in Cape so far thanks to Icarus!

FIVE STARS! Paragliding in Cape Town was a pure adrenaline rush! Jacques is the ultimate pilot—he balanced making me feel totally safe while delivering the most exciting ride high above the city. Best view, best pilot, best memories.

Unfortunately, this experience for my birthday was canceled due to weather, like other reviews mentioned. However, it was the best weather day of the season with no wind at all. I was offered a reschedule that sadly didn’t work but it was offered on the windiest day of the season. Some thing just didn’t seem right about it. Glad I couldn’t go.

I had the most incredible time with Icarus Paragliding in Cape Town. From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. The instructors were not only highly skilled, but also warm, patient, and genuinely excited to share the magic of flying. The entire experience was seamless—clear communication, smooth check-in, and an atmosphere that made even first-timers feel confident. Once we were in the air, the views were beyond breathtaking: sweeping panoramas of the mountains, sparkling coastline, and the city below. My pilot, Jacques, made the flight both thrilling and comfortable, and even captured amazing photos and videos that I’ll treasure forever. You can tell that safety, fun, and creating an unforgettable adventure are their top priorities. If you’re in Cape Town, don’t hesitate—book with Icarus Paragliding. It was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip and an experience I’ll be recommending to everyone!

At first I was nervous but later I got a hand of it and it was super fun. Take off wasn’t as hard as I thought and landing was easy … thanks to pilot Jacques

It was incredible, they were so comforting and patient with us because it was our first time. Absolutely amazing experience

Amazing Experience! The guides were amazing. I flew with Jaques and he was so much fun. The view over the city and the mountains were amazing. I can really recommend! Thanks to Jason and Jaques!

Best experience 10/10 definitely recommend Jason went above and beyond even after the experience. Top

Very experienced pilot. Extremely friendly staff - very kind and nice! Felt very safe and it was a very fun experience. First time paragliding and the view from signal hill is amazing. Would definitely recommend. The flight was about 14 mins and it was worth every penny.

This is something everyone should experience atleast once in their lives. Jason was great in helping us book a fantastic day spent. Please make that call and take that leap!!

Thank you for an amazing experience. We were looking for something fun and memorable to do in Cape Town. Icarus Paragliding made it happen. I would recommend as a must do experience when in Cape Town. Get to see Cape Town stunning scenery from the sky…

Probably the best experience of my life The team constantly updated us with regards to the weather conditions as we had to reschedule a few times due to a change in weather. When we finally managed to fly, our pilot Jacques made it his goal to make my tummy turn in a good way

Excellent service and highly recommend this company if you want to enjoy Cape Town from a Birds Eye view. We will be back next year

It was bad he's rude and he even blocked us, he canceled due to bad weather conditions but the weather was fine and he don't want to refund us.

Best guys! The winds were pretty strong when we got there. Had to reschedule a couple of times, but they made sure we had that experience. Kept us updated the whole time! And the experience was worth every penny we spent.

I had a great time! Great team! Great hospitality! Their customer service starting my run of booking to the activity itself was impressive.

My Father and I both recently did the paragliding experience from signal hill, it was absolutely fantastic, such a huge highlight of our trip to Cape Town, big thankyou to Jason & Jacques for arranging everything and John for an unforgettable flight over stunning Cape Town ! ❤️🪂

This paragliding experience was amazing from start to finish. My driver picked us up at the hotel. At the top of the Signal Hill, they put me into gear and gave me the proper flying instructions.

Beautiful Experience! The flight instructor was friendly and explained everything prior and even when we were up in the sky; kept me calm but making jokes! The pictures and videos taken are also great quality to keep for years!!! Def doing it again soon and bringing along my squad! Oh and the most amazing part is that they’re the most affordable in the game of Paragliding!!!

It was really amazing and a great experience. Wasn’t as cold as I thought it’d be lol. Can’t wait to go again with friends and family soon!

I recently went paragliding with Icuras Paragliding, and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the entire experience was well-organized and professional. The pilot Jacques and manager Jason were both extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel completely safe, even though it was my first time trying this sport. The take-off was smooth, and before I knew it, I was soaring high above the city. The views were breathtaking—from Signal Hill, the beautiful shores of Sea Point and Cape Town CBD creating a picture-perfect scene. Floating through the air felt both exhilarating and peaceful at the same time. The equipment was top-notch and well-maintained, and the tandem pilot gave a great balance of fun and safety. I especially appreciated how they explained everything clearly and checked all the gear thoroughly before launch. I can't recommend Icuras Tandom Paragliding enough. It’s an experience I’ll never forget and one I’ll definitely be doing again!

I recently had the pleasure of going paragliding with Jason and Jacque, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Jason and Jacque was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. As someone who was a bit nervous about flying, I really appreciated how he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and safe.

It was a great experience. Beautiful views of Cape Town. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you Jason and Jacques for an amazing memory.

I would highly recommend Icarus Paragliding to anyone visiting Cape Town. The efficient service and promt feedback was excellent!!! Thank you Jacques and Jason for giving me an experience of a lifetime.

It was amazing. Will recomend for every one even if you fear hights. You dont even feel fear. Go go go!!!!!! You missing out

SO AMAZING !!! Big thank you to Jak, so professional so much fun, I was so nervous but Jak made me feel so comfortable! Would 10000000% recommend

‏An amazing experience — it was my first time trying it, and I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend it to anyone. The instructor was flexible, kind, and had a great sense of humor. He handled my fear of heights very well. I definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a thrill — I’ll be doing it again every time! Best regards, Jacques & Jason

The Icarus team was fantastic- highly professional and prepared / methodical. Very friendly and engaging with me and our teenage sons. We had an incredible experience. A MUST DO in Capetown.

Great experience flying with them! Beautiful views of the ocean and of Cape Town. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

Jason and Jacques are amazing! It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Jacques knows his stuff - super safe and experienced. Thank you to the team!

Nice, short ride. the ride is 6 minutes long although we were told it would be 10-15 minutes. Incredibly fast ride without time to enjoy.. they blamed winds but its all nonsense..just a tourist trap to get you down on the ground as fast as possible.

The flight was fantastic. It was a great experience and I would do it again. The only thing I didn't like too much was that the instructors and managers were very pushy. We didn't want to buy the extra photos and videos because we just wanted to enjoy the experience, but they kept on pushing about it and literally pushing the camera in my hand. Which was not nice. During the flight, it was all about taking videos and pictures 'so I could show it to others'. The exact thing I was afraid of. I just really wanted to enjoy the flight myself..

It was an amazing experience with stunning views over the entire city. Excellent communication to ensure the best conditions for the flight. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Thrilling experience with best pilot, 28 years of experience without any record of accidents. I just loved this fly.
