Tandem Flights — No Experience Needed, Just a Sense of Adventure 

Experience the thrill of free flight with Cloudbase Paragliding’s tandem adventures. No training required — just bring closed shoes, a long-sleeved top, and your excitement. You’ll fly with one of our SAHPA A-rated instructors, including Jan Minnaar or Khobi-Jane Bowden, who’ve safely guided over 10,000 tandem passengers.

Soar above the breathtaking Garden Route coastline — from the iconic Map of Africa to Dolphin Point, with a chance to spot whales in season. We fly at multiple scenic sites, including Wilderness, Mossel Bay, Sedgefield, Brenton, Knysna, and
