Signal Hill and Table Mountain have long guided sailors; the area evolved from maritime signaling points into a popular launch site as paragliding grew in the late 20th century.
Conservation
Stick to marked launch and landing areas to protect dune vegetation and nesting shorebirds; operators typically brief guests on local rules to minimize disturbance.

Check the wind window
Flights are weather-dependent; mornings and late afternoons usually offer the most stable conditions, so confirm start times the day before.
Respect weight & age limits
Maximum weight is 110 kg and no children under 14 are allowed — this keeps harness and safety margins within certified limits.
Wear closed, grippy shoes
You’ll do a short run at takeoff and need secure footing on grass or packed earth, so trainers with grip are required.
Secure photography beforehand
Loose phones and cameras can be lost; ask about the in-flight photo/video option (optional extra) or use a tethered device.
Closed athletic shoes
Provide grip and support for the short takeoff run and landing on uneven ground.
Windproof jacket
Blocks chill from the Atlantic wind and keeps you comfortable during flight.
winter
Sunglasses with strap
Reduces glare off the ocean and protects eyes during bright launches and landings.
summer
Small secure bag or phone tether
Keeps essentials safe and prevents items from falling during flight and landing.
