Amazing experience with Icarus flying over Sea Point with breathtaking views of the African Sunset. Thank you to Jacques for making this my best experience of a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us
Hands down, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From start to finish, the entire experience was worth every bit of time, money and effort. The guides were incredibly friendly, kind and supportive. My sister was really scared at first, but they patiently walked her through everything, reassured her and helped her feel comfortable enough to enjoy the experience far more than she ever expected! And one piece of advice: don’t hesitate to book the photo and video package! It might cost a little extra, but trust me, having those incredible moments captured while you’re literally on top of the world is worth every penny! I’m genuinely so grateful for this unforgettable experience, and I would do it again and again without a second thought! 🤍
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We greatly appreciate your review and kind words. We look forward to flying with you again in the near future. Enjoy Cape Town! Best regards, Icarus Team
We went paragliding for the very first time in Cape Town and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We put our trust in Jacques and Jason, and they were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly professional, friendly, and reassuring, making us feel completely comfortable and safe from start to finish. The flight itself was truly unforgettable — soaring high above Cape Town, taking in the breathtaking views of the coastline and mountains, and experiencing the incredible feeling of freedom that comes with flying. It was such a unique and exhilarating experience that we’ll remember for a long time! We absolutely loved every moment and would 100% recommend Jacques and Jason to anyone looking for an unforgettable paragliding experience in Cape Town!

My partner and I booked paragliding for Mikey’s 60th birthday 🎁 he had been paragliding before, but a first experience for me. We had Jacques and Jason- both awesome instructors. They were very professional, very kind and made sure we were comfortable before takeoff. It clearly appears that they both love what they are doing. They made this experience unforgettable.
