We glided off Lions Head on a perfect Cape Town Day. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Francois was amazing - very experienced paraglider who was able to calm my initial nerves. He pointed out many of the key landmarks and we 'danced' in the sky to the music of the wind! My fear of heights was forgotten! Can definitely recommend paragliding off Lions Head. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Best paragliding experience Special thanks to my instructor Carolina for making it an extraordinary experience.
The experience was great. The guide was good at his job. You’ll feel so relaxed up there. Try it. Live a little!
This is LIVING! Fanie, Witness and George are heroes without caps. Everyone must try this
Absolutely brilliant. Experience of a lifetime.
A great way to see Cape Town from the air with a professional paraglider. The whole experience was very exhilarating and very easy to follow with a good safe landing. I wasn’t expecting the hands-on experience but really appreciated being allowed to take control.
it was a beautiful and life changing experience. it met my expectations. it was a beautiful view from above. more time in the air would’ve been nice because on the website it says its 30 minutes long but it was less than 10 minutes , probably even 5 minutes which was false advertising. my pilot was an amazing person and he was very informative and made me feel reassured.
An absolutely beautiful first paragliding experience! What an incredible experience with Airventures Tandem Paragliding Cape Town. This was my first time paragliding, and from beginning to end, the service was fantastic. A very special thank you to Witness, the admin and running crew, Jacques, my pilot, who was incredibly professional, calm and reassuring. He made me feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. The flight itself felt so graceful and peaceful — almost like floating through the sky — and the views were absolutely beautiful. It was an experience that will stay with me for a very long time. For anyone considering paragliding for the first time, Airventures comes highly recommended. Professional, safe, friendly and an unforgettable experience. Thank you for making my first flight such a special one! 🪂💙.
I had such an amazing experience with Aventures Tandem Paragliding! From the initial booking and arranging the meeting time to arriving at the location, everything was smooth, easy and well organised. The payment process was also seamless, and I definitely feel that I received great value for the price. My pilot was friendly, professional and very informative, which made me feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire experience. You could tell that he was very experienced, especially when it came to managing the flight according to the weather and wind conditions. He made sure we had a smooth experience, including a safe and comfortable landing. We also took some beautiful pictures, which was an added bonus and gave me something to remember the experience by. The flight felt very quick, and although it was meant to be around 15 minutes, mine felt closer to 10 minutes. However, I completely understand that paragliding is dependent on weather conditions and wind direction, so this wasn’t something within the company’s control. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed every bit of the experience. It was exciting, peaceful and definitely an adventure I would recommend. I would absolutely do it again next time! Thank you, Aventures Tandem Paragliding, for such a great experience. I had an amazing time! 🪂❤️
Loved it! Will tailor it to your comfort level and give you an experience you’ll take with you! I hiked up and they dropped my bag back to the landing for me. Very organised.
Absolute blast! Thank you Alois - my pilot! You were such fun. And your team - thank you for a perfect and amazing experience.
What an amazing experience. Alois made it so much fun and made my fears disappear. Thank you so much for the unforgettable memories.
Staff was super friendly and helpful. You get a full briefing of what you need to do and they get you calm, confident and comfortable before your flight and during the flight.
Easily one of the highlights of my trip. Launched from the top of the mountain and within minutes we were gliding over Cape Town with the ocean wide open in front of us. The views are next level. My pilot, Alois was outstanding. Calm, confident, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Felt safe the entire time but still had a blast. Smooth landing in Sea Point to cap it off. Would do this again without hesitation. If you’re in Cape Town, book it.
The experience was amazing. Cape Town is by far the most beautiful city in the world. The instructors were very clear, friendly and extremely patient. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
I had a fantastic time today. Very professional set up and they made sure I felt safe and enjoyed my time. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone brave enough to try
The company of professionals! They kept me posted on WhatsApp as we depended on the wind, so the booked slots might have to be pushed forward. Mine was pushed forward and they kept me engaged and updated while I waited. Never rushed nor kept in the dark. It was an amazing experience end to end, with the highlight of paragliding.
The best experience ever!!! Definitely doing it again! My pilot Mikel was fantastic and made the whole experience worth every minute!!
Wow wow wow😎 Hans & Kal were amazeballs. So professional and friendly from start to end. Thank You for making the experience breath-taking and fun. I strongly would recommend them to any one wanting to embark that magnificent experience and what stood out the most was the pre trip chats, advice and tips Kal you rock- keep up the good work!!
thanks cal for the awsome expierience. a must if you visit capetown. esp. cal who was able to make this possibile even on the wight limits.
This was an amazing experience. From the beginning to the end they made me feel relaxed and Cal was a great pilot. Id definitely do it again!
This was a great experience, Been taken through the steps carefully at registration. Excellent Experience Pilot. Will recommend this adrenaline fix to anyone. 💃💃
Such a fun experience! Enjoyed it a lot! Amazing views; the pilot was super fun and let me be the pilot for a bit! Would recommend!
It’s was a beautiful experience,the views were amazing..it wasn’t very crowded,we didn’t have to wait very long for our turn and the pilot Jonathan Brett was really friendly and experienced.Would definitely recommend others to try paragliding at least once
My pilot Mr Bretty gave me the confidence,took me slowly and ensured i was kot panicking,floated very well on air and landed as instructed
I am very greatful with the whole experience.Flying with Brett was a big blessing,the man is so experienced and i liked the part where i went over the sea and it was an engaging expeience
Best experience ever, Buratt was amazing! It wasn’t scary at all. It was my best Christmas gift ever. Will Do it again next year
I had an exceptional paragliding experience with Air Ventures Cape Town and I recommend them without hesitation. What stood out most was their professionalism and inclusiveness. Despite my physical disability, the team assessed the situation carefully, communicated clearly, and confidently made it possible for me to fly. I was paired with Cal Dyker, an experienced pilot who was calm, highly skilled, and fully in control from takeoff to landing. That level of competence builds immediate trust, which matters when you are stepping into something as serious as paragliding. The briefing was clear, safety was treated as non-negotiable, and the entire operation ran with discipline and confidence. At no point did I feel rushed or uncertain. Instead, I felt respected, supported, and genuinely welcomed. Flying over Cape Town was unforgettable, but what made the experience truly meaningful was Air Ventures’ willingness to look beyond limitations and focus on capability, preparation, and expertise. If you are looking for a paragliding company that combines safety, experience, and human decency, Air Ventures delivers.
I flew with Air Ventures paragliding pilot Malvera. He is an excellent pilot and a very upbeat and friendly fellow. My flight was amazing. A wonderful, thrilling, and scenic soar over Cape Town. Loved it.
I found it distracting that the pilot scolded me for the whole flight all the way down to the ground and for a few minutes after we landed. Yes, the launch wasn't great, which is on me, but we launched just fine nonetheless. I also fell over on the landing, which greatly annoyed the pilot and he wasn't shy to let me know. I don't remember much of the flight, I guess it was ok. A little less criticism would have made it better. Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations.
A big thank you to Witness, Brett and the team for an unforgettable experience!!! I’m still reeling from excitement. You guys are amazing!! Renscha Smith
What a lovely experience I had all thanks to Brett (Khabazela) and the rest of the crew. The views of Cape Town were breathtaking 😍. Got some really great photos and videos all thanks to Brett. He was so professional and engaging. An experience I’ll never forget and a great way to celebrate my birthday. Thank you guys, job well done 👏🏾.
It was an awesome experience, i don't mind coming back to have more of the experience .Thr team was friendly and kudos to that
had an incredible experience with Tandem Paragliding in Cape Town. Taking off from Signal Hill and flying over the city with breathtaking views of Table Mountain was unforgettable. My instructor, Jonathan Brett Ellis, was outstanding—professional, calm, and highly skilled. He explained every step clearly and made the entire flight feel safe and enjoyable. The smooth glide, the scenery, and Hans’ friendly guidance made this one of the best experiences of my trip. Highly recommended!
The instructors are top notch from start to finish. I turned up at Signal Hill without a booking and Witness soon sorted me out with a tandem buddy. Alois was great fun and made me feel very relaxed from the start. We had a great flight together and landed safely. Everything was run very professionally.
Funs, safe, and exhilarating!! The staff is super chill and makes you feel totally at ease. This is my third time. I will go again :)
I appreciated the service and staff with good customer care. Keep it up guys, I enjoyed every moments. Thank you so much.
Awesome experience. The most amazing way to see Cape Town. My pilot, Brett was fantastic. Made me feel safe and relaxed throughout. He even sang happy birthday to me on the way down, mid flight! Would highly recommend this experience.
Amazing. Brett took the most wonderful videos and still photos. Safety was paramount Made to feel relaxed. Brilliant morning thank you
What an amazing experience. Brett was a super travel compani, explaining exactly what was going on and putting me at ease. The views were amazing. Would've given 5 stars but thought the beginning of the paragliding was all far too hectic. I had completed a form manually when I agreed to do the flight. But then had to complete another form online before payment could be taken. It was all very rushed and manic and even getting the parachute on seemed all very rushed. I understand the wind was expected to get strong but it certainly didn't put one at ease being rushed along so much
The team was great! From when I made the booking, when I wanted to chicken out of it. They assured me about the safety and the pilot took great pictures and videos of me so extra points for the Instagram girlie lol!
The views were amazing. The personnel is also professional and polite. The experience was also fufilling. Beautiful ❤
Witness was the best Administrator, I flew with Mark and my friend flew with Jack. We had an amazing experience, the gentlemen made the who flight enjoyable and worthwhile
Great experience, great organization
Mega cool experience! Everything was super uncomplicated and well organized. The guides were totally nice and relaxed, and you felt comfortable and safe right away. It was really fun and we would do it again anytime!
Well, the flight itself was very, very beautiful. However, I did not think it was so great that I did not have anyone who spoke German, even though I had specified that when booking. Then it said in the description that the flight lasts about 10 minutes. It was clearly less... Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun and I would do it again anytime. Oh, by the way, I did not have a view of Table Mountain... I looked at Cape Town and at the sea.
Super team, we were informed in advance that the weather would not be suitable for our booked appointment. Since we were already in Cape Town, we were able to move the jump forward. That was great. Thank you very much for the great experience.
Great service and an absolute experience !! I had a super cool “guide” and it was great fun !
I'm not usually a guy who takes part in any tourist activities on the ground. But I didn't want to miss that... The contact was always very friendly and professional, on site I felt safe and well looked after and the flight was a great experience! Actually I’m afraid of heights – but it wasn’t there at all and I really enjoyed the paragliding flight
Fantastic experience, all very professional, Instructor Brett did a very good job, a must do in Capetown!
