not worth the money, short trip
the experience felt rushed. i was in the air within 5 minutes of checking in and was given minimal guidance on taking off. additionally, we were only in the air for about 5 minutes, which is not very long considering the experience is $110 and i saw another persons review saying they were in the air for 15 minutes. it’s pretty but i would not recommend as it’s not worth the money.

Truly amazing experience! Staff were super friendly, professional & supportive...especially Mike who checked in on me & gave me advice & assurance prior to the ride.The pilot/instructor Earl, was super cool & calm throughout the entire experience. I almost chickened out but I'm glad that I went though with it.The views were truly breathtaking & picturesque.Would definitely recommend including the pictures and videos to capture this truly memorable experience.

A must do in Capetown!
What a fantastic time! It was so much fun and so beautiful. I was a little nervous going into it, but once we launched I wasn't nervous at all! The ride was smooth and easy. My pilot asked me if I liked rollercoasters. When I said YES, he took me on a few extra dips and turns. So much fun and a very smooth landing!

Don’t let fear keep you from this.
Honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Me and my partner were both nervous, me more so. I have a fear of heights, and scared of rollercoasters, but this was one of the smoothest rides ever. We opted for the photos and videos which is a MUST. Our pilots were great and definitely made the experience all the better.
