Paragliding in Hermanus
- About 1 hour
Description
Tandem paragliding is a heavenly adrenaline rush. No experience is necessary, your pilot will do all the hard work, you just need to run on take off, then sit back and relax and enjoy the view and donโt forget to smile for the camera.
A para-glider is a free flying, foot launched aircraft. A tandem para-glider is specifically designed to carry two people. The passenger is strapped into a harness in front of the experienced pilot.
Hermanus is about 130 kilometres from Cape Town and can take between an hour to an hour and a half to drive to the launch site.
Our Hermanus flights take off near the Rotary Way lookout point and will land on the nearby school field. In the air, our pilots will show you the beauty the town has to offer and you will have the chance to glide over the nearby coast. You may even be in for a treat if the whales decide to put on a show for you!

What an experience paragliding with Icarus. Professional guides and team that have years of experience. A must when in Cape Town on a clear day, fly over the city and be thrilled and invigorated. Booking is essential to guarantee your flight. X
