Powered Paragliding - South Africa

Experience the sky like never before with the thrilling adventure of Powered Paragliding. This unique activity combines the freedom of paragliding with the added boost of a motorised propeller, allowing you to launch from level ground and explore vast open skies without relying on wind or thermals.

Powered Paragliding, also known as Paramotoring, is one of the most accessible forms of aviation and a spectacular way to enjoy South Africa’s diverse landscapes. Whether you're soaring over golden coastlines, rural farmlands, mountain valleys, or inland bushveld, every flight delivers panoramic views and an unforgettable sense of freedom.

This adventure is suitable for almost anyone, even with no prior experience.

From sunrise missions to golden-hour flights, powered paragliding offers a truly bucket-list-worthy experience. The quiet hum of the motor paired with the open-air flight creates a surreal sensation—part peaceful, part exhilarating.

Powered Paragliding is available in various regions across South Africa, each offering its own unique terrain and scenic highlights. Whether you’re chasing coastal winds or inland thermals, one thing’s certain—this is an adventure that will leave you buzzing long after you land.
