Great Ending to a Great Trip
This was my first paragliding experience, and it probably won’t be my last. My time here in Cape Town has been amazing, and this experience provided a great ending to it just before heading to the airport. Jacques and Jason are total pros. They made the experience very enjoyable and also safe. I would definitely fly with Icarus again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for flying and sharing your experience with us. We finally managed to fly before your journey home and we glad to hear it was a memorable experience for you. We look forward in sharing the Cape Town skies with you again in the near future. Best regards, Icarus Team

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.
How much does Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) cost?
+
Prices start at R 2,050 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.
Is Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus)?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cape Town?
+
On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cape Town?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus)?
+
Included: Paragliding Gear; Parking; and Tandem Flight Pilot. Not included: Photos and Videos(available at an extra cost); and Transport(from your place to the starting point). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus)?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Tandem Paragliding In Cape Town (Icarus) wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
