Para-Pax - Tandem Paragliding Flights - Cape Town:
Since the late eighties, paragliding in South Africa has seen a tremendous growth.
Presently there are more than 900 registered pilots and a staggering 1200 flying sites
around South Africa.
For many years, earthbound humans have looked up at us wanna be birds soaring high above the earth in our paragliders and wondered how, when and "what if I could fly" The drawback in the passed has been the lengthy paragliding training courses required before getting your feet properly off the ground.

Tandem Paragliding is the solution:
With an oversized, specially designed tandem glider and two harnesses, the sport now invites all who wish to explore the skies and soar the mountain tops, but don't want to learn to paraglide on their own.
Worldwide, Tandem Paragliding attracts thousands of clients and is an incredible way to feel the exhilaration of "free-flight" in safe and experienced hands.
All Para-Pax pilots hold officially (CAA and SAHPA) recognized Tandem licenses and operate on a commercial level on a daily basis. Some pilots even have international qualifications and vast experience.
We have over 8 years experience and more than 3500 flights to our credit.
During the winter months here in Cape Town, some of our pilots travel to Europe and fly tandems professionally in Austria, Switzerland, France and the Czech Republic.
