Paragliding from Lions Head

Soar Above Cape Town: Paragliding from Lion’s Head

For one of the most iconic experiences in Cape Town, nothing compares to paragliding from Lion’s Head. Launching from the slopes of this famous peak, you’ll glide effortlessly over the city, taking in sweeping views of Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean, and the golden beaches of Camps Bay. It’s the ultimate combination of adventure, freedom, and breathtaking scenery.

With professional, SAHPA-licensed tandem pilots, no prior experience is needed. After a short safety briefing, you’ll be securely strapped in, ready to run a few steps down the mountain before the canopy lifts you into the sky. From there, it’s smooth sailing—whether you’re looking for a peaceful scenic flight or a more adrenaline-fueled ride with spirals and turns, your pilot will tailor the experience to suit your sense of adventure.

Flying from Lion’s Head gives you a unique perspective on Cape Town. Drift past the cliffs of Signal Hill, float above the bustling Sea Point Promenade, and marvel at the ever-changing colours of the ocean below. Flights usually end with a soft landing on the grass fields along the Atlantic Seaboard, leaving you exhilarated and grinning from ear to ear.

For travellers, couples, or anyone ticking off their Cape Town bucket list, paragliding from Lion’s Head is a must-do adventure. It’s more than just a thrill—it’s a chance to connect with the city’s natural beauty from a whole new angle.
