Breathtaking Experience, A Must-Do in Cape Town - Tandem Paragliding with Icarus in Cape Town was absolutely unforgettable, The views were incredible — flying over the city with Table Mountain in the background felt surreal. The pilot was super professional, made me feel completely safe, and even captured amazing shots during the flight. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time😂. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip and something I’d recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town.

AMAZING - My tandem paragliding flight with Icarus Paragliding Cape Town was absolutely incredible! The experience was beyond amazing. My pilot, Jacques, was fantastic – he even let me take control of the flight for a bit, which made it even more thrilling. Despite feeling a bit nervous at first, Jacques guided me through the entire flight perfectly, and we had so much fun! Honestly, it was the best experience I’ve ever had. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure! #betterthananorgasm

Paragliding Cape Town - Very professional and friendly stuff, the instructors know their job and you can feel safe when flying with them. Apart from great paragliding experience they also gave us a lot of other suggestions and advices about what else to do in Cape Town, and they are amazing story tellers! Definitely recommended!

Highlight of our Cape Town trip - You must do this when you are in Cape Town. We had a great experience from start to finish with John and Jacques! When we were arriving at the car park at Signal Hill we saw so many paragliders already getting ready and starting off this beautiful location. After a short registration on a phone we were put into the gear and our pilots explained us how the start and flight will work. Noticing that our pilots were very experienced and everything was perfectly organized calmed me down and I trusted my pilot John completely. All you basically have to do is run when you are told to and after a couple of seconds you are flying and enjoying the beautiful view and amazing feeling of flying like a bird. We even got to steer the paraglide for ourselves and our pilots explained us how you can take a turn or accelerate. The photos and videos you take during the flight holding a GoPro camera on a selfie stick are the icing on the cake. The pilots upload it to your phone after flight for 350 Rand per person. All in all we highly recommend that you choose Icarus Paragliding for one of the best experiences you can get in Cape Town. Thanks again, John and Jacques, for the great time in the air and on the ground :)

Made It Happen For Us! - This was the number one thing we wanted to do on our holiday and short stay in Cape Town. We original booked with another company but with weather cancellations they didn’t prioritise or work with us around later plans. Icarus asked about our plans and availability upon their weather cancellation, were flexible, and made it happen for us! Had a brilliant flight with Jacques off Signal Hill!
