Wonderful experience - They pick us up on time. The wait to get the experience is over 1 hr because there were several people waiting. Once they get going my daughter had a nice time.

Adventure of a lifetime! - My first paragliding experience and loved it. Booked the flight for 17 May but was informed that we wouldn't be flying due to bad weather. The booking was moved to 22 May 9a.m. The weather/wind was still not in our favor for flying. But Mike was in touch throughout the morning and as soon as it started looking good, he informed us immediately that they would be flying. We rushed from our stay to the start point and weather decided to play with us again. Finally we flew at 12:30. Mike was very organized despite all the chaos around him and communicated very well. The best part from Mike was that, he was aware I was leaving Cape Town that afternoon and he made sure I left CT with a memorable experience. Great communication. Cannot thank enough to Earl for the great & safe flight! He made sure I was calm and enjoyed the whole experience. Best pilot. Photos & videos taken were fantastic. Thank you team!!

A memorable experience - Booked the flight for 29 May but was informed that it could only be a 50/50 chance due to weather. Immediately changed the flight to 28 May. Pick up service from hotel was smooth and we were kept informed when driver was a little late. Great communication there. Most importantly, the flight itself was great for both myself & my husband! Special thanks to Earl and Chris for the great & safe flight! Photos & videos taken were fantastic as well!

Super fun, first-time paragliding experience! - We had a great time! Due to our cruise ship changing schedules, weather/fog delaying our ship, then immigration delays, we had to change the reservation several times. Mike and his crew worked with us to make it all happen. They were responsive and very professional. We felt safe flying with Josh and Chris the whole time. We got fabulous aerial views and were able to take home lots of photos and video, too, having opted for the photo package (it is well worth it!!). We are considering doing it again next time we are in Cape Town.

Mike and Earl are great! - Stayed in cape town for few days in early Jun and it was always raining.. On the day I booked the weather was perfect so I was very quite wishful. However I was told that the wind was not favourable and I have to try my luck the day after - which I will be flying home. On the next day luckily I could make it before leaving for airport. Big thanks to Mike and Earl! It will be pity if I missed that. But I appreciate how insistent they are on a perfect, safe condition, before they fly. They are really professional My suggestion is - book early, leave a few days of buffer, in case the weather or wind don't allow flying. The experience is superb! I consider myself very lucky to be able to make it in the last minute
