A few minutes in the sky - 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!

Absolutely unforgettable experience! - 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!

Canceled celebration experience - 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.
