Tandem Paragliding
Cape Town
Fly with an experienced instructor. Experience the sensation of paragliding before committing to solo training.
What a tandem flight is
A tandem paraglider is a two-person wing — you fly together with an instructor who controls the glider. You experience the launch, the soaring flight, and the landing firsthand. You can put your hands on the controls and feel the responses if you want to.
A tandem with Ria is an instructional experience, not a joyride. You will understand what you are doing and why — which is exactly what makes it valuable as a starting point for training.
Introductory Tandem
R2,200
Standard tandem flight at a Cape Town site. Ideal for anyone who wants to experience paragliding before deciding whether to train.
Training Tandem
Included in beginner course
Tandem flights with dual controls, designed to build pilot feel before solo flights. Included as part of the beginner course.
Free add-on
Solo Ground School Session
After your tandem flight, you can add a free 15–30 minute solo ground school session. You’ll learn how to kite the glider — the essential ground skill before any solo launch. This is for anyone curious about whether solo training is right for them. Let Ria know when you book.
Tandem flights are weather-dependent and scheduled by arrangement.
Ready to fly yourself?
Most people who do a tandem come back wanting to learn to pilot their own wing. That’s what the beginner course is for. Three sessions, R12,500, all gear included — and you fly solo before you finish.
