Could not speak more highly of this company. My partner and I flew with Grant and Ruard and they could not have made us... feel more at ease. They were both very firm in the fact that they only fly if they both feel 100% comfortable with the wind conditions, even if other companies were going out. This was my main concern when booking to do this so hearing them say that within the first few minutes already put them above other companies we’d heard of. I especially was a nervous mess before flying but Ruard took it in his stride and knew exactly what to say and I ended up having one of the best experiences of my life thanks to him. It made it even better that it was clear how stoked he was to be up there as well. We were lucky enough to fly off lions head and that’s a sight I’ll never forget. It’s clear that this goes far beyond a job and is really a passion project for the pilots which made the experience all the more special.read more

It's not just the view, it's the company itself (Hi5) that showed a lot of dedication from day 1 in keeping in constant... contact until day H.I thoroughly recommend Hi5 for jumps, they have good professionals, it's an extremely competent and professional team. Before jumping, I saw and heard what the others went through before the jump, it was basically the same.Big hugs to the team in general and especially to the instructor John.read more

I saw them land one morning on the grass at Sea Point and added a tandem paragliding to my bucket list. Tick ✅... done. Wow, what an experience. It was a gift for my 57th birthday. I was not disappointed. The pilot greeted me (super friendly) and we went through the safety and how to go about the take off etc. I felt perfectly safe and raring to go. At no time was I afraid. I would quite happily do another paraglide. An experience of a lifetime. Live life - go do it!read more

This was our first experience paragliding and we are SO GLAD that we chose this company! The staff are professional and... the high level of expertise/confidence among the instructors put us at ease the moment that we began to interact with them. We woke up late… by almost an hour and they called/sent multiple messages to ensure that we were still going to make our reserved flight time. That type of service was unexpected and greatly appreciated. An unbelievably amazing experience coupled with extreme hospitality… this is what you are going to get when booking with this company. Thank you guys!read more

I highly recommend Hi5 Tandem Paragliging as my experience paragliding with Hi5 from Lions Head in Cape Town was... amazing! The take off and landing were flawless and Rue communicated what to expect for each part of our flight. We also stayed airborne for about 15 minutes which gave me time to really enjoy the views. Lastly, when the flight was over, Rue quickly transferred photos from the GoPro to my phone and showed me how to access them. All in all... a great experience.read more

We had the perfect day for our paragliding experience. Our pilots were super knowledgeable, professional and just... fantastic people! We got the 11am slot which is meant to be one of the best times to fly and it definitely seemed to be the case! Once we landed, the guys sorted a lift for us back to the top of Signal Hill where there was a van serving drinks and ice-creams. The videos and photos are incredible quality. The pilots took some great shots and we got to aim the camera ourselves too. Overall, it was an unbelieve experience that we will never forget! (be warned, the toilets at the top of the hill are waterless so try go beforehand if you are squeamish)The whole team at Hi5 Paragliding looked after us every step of the way and gave us a tailored, personal experience and I can’t recommend them enough!read more

This is an easy 5 star review. My pilot Heinrich was amazing. He eeked out 15min of flight when the expected flight... time was just 7 minutes. Yes, we were lucky with the thermals, but he also took great pride in finding the lift and even took the "detour" over our house so I could wave my wife and son from above.read more

Wow Wow & Wow! I was recommended to the Hi five Paragliding team by a friend and I can understand why. Definitely a... highlight of my trip! ! The experience was incredible and a must do in Cape Town. Flying down a mountain past rocks, we managed to even spot an eagle, over the buildings and onto the sea. A site to behold forever! I am scared of heights, however Grant and his team where super gentle, relaxed and very very professional. I cannot impress on that more. If you're going to Paraglide then Hi Five is the team to do it with ! The staff where incredibly friendly and clear in all communication. Video footage seamlessly transferred onto your phone in a flash with incredible hi res clarity! Also have a free ride back up the mountain. Just Do it!read more

This was a birthday gift for our friend and I decided to be brave and tag or fly along. The communication with the team... before, during and after our flights was amazing. All were so friendly and helpful. HI5 is a very professional company and I can highly recommend them. Getting the paper work done on the day was easy, and once the pilot arrived it didn't even take 5 minutes and I was up in the air. What an amazing experience. I was a bit nervous before but as soon as my feet were off the ground I loved every second of it. Landing was super easy and Brett made sure we missed the sprinklers on the lawn. Thanks for that;-) Everyone should give it a go. You will not regret it! Thanks to the team of HI5:-)read more

Great experience from beginning to end. Good communication, very friendly staff, fantastic flight experience, and great... footage.
