    What an amazing experience! Definitely worth the cost, if you’re hesitant on this. The entire team was amazing! From sign up to actually taking off, and landing too. My instructor, Roeland, was the best - we got up there SO HIGH! You’re allowed to keep your mask on too, which is great.

    Such an amazing experience! Don’t be afraid for take off! It is so easy (sounds scary) but is really simple! Landing is even easier. You seriously just walk to land. Everyone was super friendly and helpful!! This was my first time and definitely not my last :)

    It was my first time paragliding, and Parapax made sure it went great! I suggest you book in advance as it can get busy, and plan to do your session in the morning as that is when weather is most favourable. Wear closed shoes (to avoid them falling off).

    A must visit in Joburg. The tour guide was brilliant in telling the story of the prison because seeing is not enough, but listening to the story of the horrible things happened there is a must. You will feel the place is still haunted by those who have been here. A must visit in Joburg if you want to know about SA’s history

    A MUST ACTIVITY YOU SHOULD DO IN CAPE TOWN !! I walk-in to the signal hill first time, I cant play because of windy however the manager took care us well he gave us a contact and keep in touch every day. After two day, I can play it such a beautiful view of sunset. Time that i played was the best time for sunset around 5 pm All staffs are nice especially my pilot his name is Jack. Thanks for fulfill my moment.

    Great experience. It’s very well organized and you’re in the hands of a pro. The view is extraordinary. I saw whales breaching in the ocean. Even the landing was perfect.

    Amazing experience from the runway with the team to the landing and I do have lots of pictures and videos to prove it. Can't wait to do it again. I can safely advise you to fly with them pricing 👌 compared to others, you can check.

    Amazing experience. Pilot Stef and ground crew were awesome, super friendly and made the whole experience something I would want to do again and would definitely recommend others to do. Parapax team - you guys are phenomenal. Stef put me at ease, allowed me to take the reigns and added to a really awesome day. From pre to post flight and throughout the journey, you were amazing. Thank you so much and I wish you many more years of flying

  • 5/5 Kelly & Heather R. 1 year ago on Google
    Paragliding with Parapax was incredible! Stef was fun, informative, and made me feel safe the entire time. If you’re wondering if you should…the answer is yes! Worth the cost. I want to go again!

  • 5/5 Wandisile N. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience with the gents. Spent about 10-13 mins in the air which felt like 1min. Breathtaking scenery. Even the owner came to have a chat post flight. Definitely doing it again with the Parapax Tandem Team ❤🚀

  • 5/5 Oscar Edris H. 3 years ago on Google

    I would like to thank Tandem for an amazing experience. My husband and I loved every minute of it. Great service from the entire team. You are welcomed with great smiles and they are so patient even when the jitters kick in.

  • 5/5 Paul B. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful time with Parapax. Safety is their first priority. I trusted them with my daughter of 17 and my wife of 55's and my own life. Unforgettable experience.

  • 5/5 Miguel G. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful experience and very well organized, it was on time and was worth every penny!!! People are friendly and extremely helpful and kind to deal with fear! I recommend parapax to anyone who will want such an amazing experience

  • 5/5 B H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A great experience! Had booked by email the evening before and my "desired time" 11:00 worked great! Even my wish for a German speaking pilot was fulfilled, it was the super nice owner. I immediately felt very comfortable with the flight, a great view of Cape Town, I can recommend it 100% and would repeat it immediately. I find the price of 1600 SR with photos and video very reasonable. (Original) Ein tolles Erlebnis! Hatte am Abend vorher per Mail gebucht und meine „Wunschuhrzeit“ 11 Uhr hat super geklappt! Sogar mein Wunsch nach einem deutsch sprechenden Piloten wurde erfüllt, es war der super nette Inhaber. Habe mich sofort sehr wohl gefühlt bei dem Flug, eine tolle Sicht auf Cape Town, kann es zu 100% empfehlen und würde es sofort wiederholen. Den Preis von 1600 SR mit Fotos und Video finde ich sehr angemessen.

    A first rate experience. Both my daughter and I flew with Parapax last week. Both of our pilots were exceptional. Professional and fully capable, as well as friendly and fun to fly with. The views of Cape Town were spectacular. I highly recommend Parapax!

  • 5/5 Mayenziwe G. 1 year ago on Google
    Everyone should experience paragliding with Parapax, at least once in their lifetime. I had an incredible glide, with an experienced, professional and patient pilot. The service we received was amazing- we were updated daily on the weather conditions and when it would be best to go for our glide. And when we did- it was unforgettable. They want every customer to have a memorable experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. To top that, they took us on our glide, from Camps Bay side- which allowed us to enjoy a nice long glide. I would definitely recommend them as the best Paragliding company there is in Cape Town... And their pics and videos are absolutely amazing, and well worth the extra fee

  • 5/5 Jackelyn N. 3 years ago on Google
    Super incredible experience! My birthday was made extra special with an unforgettable experience in the sky! The parapax team was amazing all round, well organized and really efficient. The bookings were really simple and communication with the organizer, Witness was handled with professionalism and friendly service. For my first time flight, I could not have had a better pilot than Frank, who made it really comfortable and the experience spectacular. Can't wait to fly with the team again;)

  • 5/5 Divesh K. 3 years ago on Google
    I was very nervous but my instructor Frank was reassuring and once in the air it was a very enjoyable experience. I'm glad I did it and would love to do it again some day!

  • 4/5 Benjamin H. 3 years ago on Google
    Tons of fun, my child liked it a lot. 8 minute flight. Wish the sign in process was faster as your sitting on top of the mountain, and wish the time schedule had been followed, but overall a very cool experience.

  • 5/5 Jillian M. 3 years ago on Google
    Stunning experience, don't just think about it, do it, you won't regret it - super super fun. Very efficient team from the booking to the actual gliding. Most beautiful city to appreciate from the sky ❤

  • 5/5 Kobus V. 3 years ago on Google
    Bought a tandem experience from Signal Hill as a birthday present. We had an amazing time! Staff were really friendly and made everything easy. The flight was phenomenal and the photos great. I can recommend Parapax to anyone with an open heart.

  • 5/5 Jonathan G. 3 years ago on Google
    I went for this activity today and it was terrific. I was definitely stressed at the beginning but everything went well. The photo and video took are really good and easily accessible after the flight. A really exciting activity after the lockdown restrictions have been eased.

  • 5/5 Cynthia F. 3 years ago on Google
    Superb experience. Thumbs up to all concerned.

  • 5/5 Chantel P. 3 years ago on Google
    I would definitely recommend Parapax. This is a weather dependent activity so know that you might not fly on your planned day as no one has control over the weather. They were very professional in their communication and Witness kept me updated as the weekend progressed. My pilot,Frank was super awesome and loved the fact that he was Afrikaans as well. He really made me feel safe and I had the best time ever. It’s really a breathtaking view from there and an unforgettable experience. Thanks Parapax!
