1 Day - Paragliding Trips

Birdmen Paragliding offers fully guided day trips. Cape Town sites each have their own micro met & changing conditions and can be fairly dangerous to unfamiliar pilots. It is recommended that all visiting pilots be guided for the first time.

Birdmen Paragliding offers fully guided day trips. Once you have agreed to be guided we will notify you of the best site to fly on the day. Supply directions or transport you to the site (not all sites are easily accessed). Give you a full site briefing on take off. Assist with launching and if necessary supply radio assistance during the flight.

A retrieve vehicle will be readily available.

All the sites are options, depending on the prevailing weather forecast.

To obtain pricing please email us at birdmen@xsinet.co.za kindly include your experience and the dates that you plan to fly. Equipment can also be hired.

All pilots must be registered with SAHPA & a 3 month foreign temporary membership can be done through Birdmen Paragliding at a cost of R310.

Longer paragliding tours

Birdmen Paragliding offers tour packages which vary from 3 days to 3 weeks with a maximum of 15 pilots per week. The best time to plan a trip is from October through to April. We organise the entire trip - airport pick ups and drop off, motor vehicle hire & retrieve, B&B accommodation (excludes lunches and dinners), updated weather forecasts, detailed site briefings, radio assistance to thermal if necessary, and focus on making sure that you have optimum flying.

A fixed itinerary is not planned but is rather arranged around the prevailing weather conditions and pilot requirements. Paragliding Tours cover all Cape Town, Wilderness and Porterville sites. Most flying sites are close to beautiful wine farms and restaurants, as well as the famous Cape Town landmarks such as Cape Point, the Table Mountain cableway, historic Stellenbosch and of course, the beautiful beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay.

On no wind days winching is provided. Pilots generally get to fly somewhere everyday unless it is raining or is totally blown out. We recommend that pilots plan two weeks as this will allow them to fly most of the sites. If pilots come for 1 week sometimes the Wilderness has to be forfeited. Tours run for 7 days and 6 nights.

Tandem paragliding flights

For tandem flights, no prior paragliding experience is required. Passengers are seated and strapped into a harness that is attached to the pilot. The only passenger input required is a little run on take-off and landing.

Passengers wear a flight suit. Passengers are required to sign an indemnity form & flying is undertaken entirely at their own risk. Passenger transport to and from the site can be arranged.

The average tandem flight lasts for about 15 - 25 minutes. All flights are weather dependent. The sites that are generally flown are Lion's Head, Signal Hill, Sir Lowry's Pass, Hermanus and Franschhoek.

Passengers to bring their own water, sun block and a warm jacket.

The cost of the Tandem Paraglide is R850 and booking must be done with Barry or Candice on 27 82 658 6710 or via email birdmen@xsinet.co.za. Gift vouchers are available.
