“This experience is a must do, so much fun and so beautiful! All the paragliding pilots are lovely and the staff were great, really made you feel at ease. It is a bit of waiting around as you fly according to weight, so bring a sun hat and a book or something to do and also water&snacks! Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again, absolutely fantastic day!”

The instructor, Julian, was really nice, friendly and capable. And I lost my camera as well but they helped me find it immediately!! Best service and experience I've had, great experience and even better customer service. Cannot recommend it enough!!”
