Tandem flights are easy and safe! You need no previous experience. Parapax will do all the flying while their passengers sit comfortably and enjoy the view.

Our professional pilots have flown thousands of tandem flights and will give you a short briefing before you are in the air. Flights last between 10-30 minutes depending on weather conditions. Take offs are easy and landings are soft.

Parapax Pilots use an entire 12 exposure film, capturing images of the passengers in the paragliding harness and the beautiful landscapes below.

Parapax also offer day tours which include a pick up and drop off service for your convenience. A light snack lunch and refreshments will be available as well as enjoying some champagne on landing.

Tandem Paragliding is the solution:
With an oversized, specially designed tandem glider and two harnesses, the sport now invites all who wish to explore the skies and soar the mountain tops, but don't want to learn to paraglide on their own. Worldwide, Tandem Paragliding attracts thousands of clients and is an incredible way to feel the exhilaration of "free-flight" in safe & experienced hands.

No Experience Required:
With Tandem Paragliding, as a passenger you require no previous knowledge of the sport at all. The pilot will brief you on take off and landing shortly before the flight. The only important thing to remember is to listen to the instructions of the pilot and to have total confidence in his experience.
Take offs are easy and Landings are soft and most often we land on large fields with no obstacles or dangers.

A good state of health - Good walking shoes - 1 and a half hour of your time.

For Your memories:

Price of flight: R850.00
Optional extras: Photographs - R100.00
Pick up and drop off- R50.00 locally (Lion's Head and Signal Hill) R100.00 - Other sites. We'll ferry you to and from the launch site.

** Launch sites used, depending on wind conditions**

Lion's Head.... 350m ....Basic License.... SW, W, SE Wind shadow ..15 - 20kms. This popular site is perhaps the most frequently flown site in the Cape Peninsula during summer, Lion's Head works in a (SW) sea breeze. By Midday the thermic action can be relatively violent but is often conducive to short X-Country flights to Table Mountain and down the Twelve Apostles to Hout Bay (8kms). Lion's Head is also unusual in that it is often flyable in a strong (SE). Yes ! Strong?.The bulk shape of Table Mountain creates a huge wind shadow easily visible on the ocean, with an often gentle (SW) curling back up the take off site. Beware of the encroaching wind line. Take off sites marked in red, landing fields marked in yellow.

Signal Hill Bench ....250m ....Advanced License ....light NW, W....10 - 15kms. With a light to moderate (NW) or (W), Signal Hill may be a site you won't forget. Overlooking Sea Point and Green Point Common, the soaring experience is well worth attempting. If the direction is more (W), crossings to Lion's Head, Table Mountain and The Twelve Apostles are within reach of most experienced pilots. The site is graded as advanced, due to the nature of the rapidly changing weather conditions and the fact that there is no immediate landing area below the ridge. If one sinks out you need to either slope land or attempt to glide to Green Point Fields.

This experience also makes the ideal gift voucher, with an unforgettable experience of a life time!
