Description Cape Town is one of the most spectacular places in the world to paraglide. Lion's Head is the site that we fly from most commonly because of its location and the stunning views of Table Mountain and the Cape Town area. As a tandem paragliding passenger you do not require any previous knowledge of the paragliding at all. The pilot will brief you on take off and landing shortly before the flight. Take offs are easy (just a few steps usually) and landings are soft (most often we land on large grassy fields with no obstacles or dangers. Tandem paragliding flights involve a passenger being securely strapped into a comfortable flying harness positioned in front of the pilot and connected to the pilot and the glider by spreader bars. The tandem paraglider is specially designed to carry two people and is nearly twice the size of a regular solo paraglider. Enquire about this Experience
