The temptation in Cape Town is to get up Table Mountain and people regard Lion's Head as the 'ugly duckling' or second cousin. The climb is not as crowded, still physically demanding and gives a 360 degree view from the top. Take plenty of water though!

Well, we discovered way more , we truly discovered how beautifull the local people of Capetown are. Caley was polite, well versed in the subject of food and general info about her beloved city, and had a great sense of humor.

Flew with Jaques today and had an amazing flight! He made me feel very comfortable and made sure I was having a great time. Made sure the footage of the gopro was good, so I can make everyone jealous back home. When we first got to the mountain the wind wasn’t right, but the communication with Icarus was good. We could come back in 2 hours, when they expected the wind would’ve changed. As we didn’t have a car, Icarus brought us back to the hotel. Highly recommend Icarus to book the Paragliding with!!!!

Marlene not only was an experienced guide, she was an absolute hoot and we had a fantastic day out with her. We went to some wonderful wine farms and had an excellent lunch in a gorgeous location. Marlene was a fantastic guide full of interesting information and it felt as if we had spent the day out with a good friend. Thanks for an excellent experience!
