Lion’s Head is probably one of the most famous paragliding locations in the world and certainly a match made in heaven.
This iconic Cape Town peak provides a stunning launch site, just minutes from the tourist hub, with easy launch slopes and a steady breeze coming off the Atlantic. Experienced tandem pilots guide you through every step, ensuring a safe and comfortable flight.
Once airborne, the views are nothing short of spectacular. Below, the city stretches out towards the ocean, with Table Mountain towering beside you and Camps Bay’s golden beaches curving along the coastline. The thermals here make for a smooth, soaring experience, allowing you to glide effortlessly above the cliffs and ridges.
Flights are possible throughout the year and at different times of the day from golden sunsets over the Atlantic to crisp blue morning skies in winter. The close proximity to other iconic spots like Table Mountain and the Waterfront, means that your tandem paragliding operator can let you know when conditions are perfect, and there’s no waiting around.
