For adrenaline seekers and nature lovers alike, Wild2Fly Paragliding & Hang Gliding in Wilderness offers one of the most exciting, bucket list, and unforgettable experiences on the Garden Route. Whether you’re a thrill‑seeking road trip traveller, a family, a couple on a romantic escape or even a honeymoon, this aerial adventure lets you soar like a bird over breathtaking landscapes, from rolling forest to sweeping beaches, making it a standout choice among things to do on the Garden Route.
Wild2Fly is a premier paragliding and hang gliding school and tandem flight operator, led by expert pilots with decades of experience. It’s one of the few operators in South Africa offering both hang gliding and paragliding tandem flights, combining adventure, nature and panoramic views with top‑tier safety and professionalism.
As you glide above the Garden Route’s dramatic coastline and lush hinterland, you’ll experience sensations few other activities can match, the thrill of flight, the peace of nature from above, and incredible photographic opportunities. Flights typically launch from classic Wilderness sites like Map of Africa, Wilderness Beach Hotel cliffs, Kleinkrantz and Paradise Ridge, depending on conditions.
This activity embodies adrenaline, nature, adventure, and water/land vista thrills without requiring prior experience, perfect for first‑timers yet still exhilarating for seasoned travellers. While not a traditional wildlife safari, the aerial perspective offers sweeping views of lakes, forests, beaches and ridges, making it a memorable complement to seaside, hiking trails and other Garden Route adventures.
Wild2Fly operates daily with bookings and flight times are weather‑dependent, usually from 09:00 until sunset, with operators confirming exact locations a day beforehand.
