After the paperwork, you will receive your equipment which will be a Paragliding harness and Helmet.  Your instructor will give you take-off and flight briefing so you can be comfortable with what to expect, after the briefing it is time to fly. You will walk onto the take-off area and be connected to your instructor, take off is very easy, you will start with a walk and then go into a run, after a few steps you will be in the air, sit back and enjoy the feeling of freedom and the great views below as we glide over the city.

During the flight we aim to teach you a bit about paragliding, we will explain the wind and how it makes us fly as well as steering and control of the paraglider. Landing is easy, to prepare for landing your instructor will ask you to be ready to stand and walk a few steps forward as you touch down onto the grass landing field.

All flights are weather dependent, your flight time will be dependent on the weather conditions on the day. We will fly you as long as is possible. Flight times can be anything between 5 and 20 minutes. Even a 5-minute flight will be very exciting and you will enjoy gliding high over the city area. Pictures and videos will be taken during every flight, it is an additional cost of R300 and it will be transferred onto your cellphone after your flight.
