Took my daughter paragliding for her 18th birthday and it was such an incredible experience. Highly professional, it helps that the one guide is the present SA paragliding champion and the other guide is his farther that that was the SA champion 20 years ago. They also made it a great experience in how they engage with you throughout the process - a great team. I can hands down recommend them.

The team was very experienced, friendly and safety-conscious. Never thought that running off a mountain could feel so relaxing!

I had the best experience with François! My nerves were quickly eased by his friendliness and confidence. The flight had been postponed until we had the right conditions but it was so worth the wait!
