“The guide was very professional and made it very easy for my first paragliding experience. I wasn’t sure how I might feel when we stepped off the edge to takeoff, but rather than being nervous, it was exciting and quite peaceful soaring above the terrain. We stayed in flight for about 30 minutes so I got to settle in to the experience and landed light a feather onto the beach. I would definitely recommend this activity with this guide and look forward to my next paragliding experience.”

“Paragliding with Paraglide Maui was hands down one of the highlights of my trip. From start to finish, the experience felt safe, professional, and incredibly well run. The views were unreal and soaring over Maui is something I’ll never forget. Paul was phenomenal. He was calm, knowledgeable, and made everything easy to understand, which instantly put me at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and cares about making the experience both safe and fun. He even reached out early because flight conditions were not good for my booking date, but luckily I was able to reschedule for the next day and Paul made the whole process…”

Review of a private powered paraglider flight in Delaware, with safety training, hands-on controls, wildlife views, weather rules, and booking tips.
“Such an enjoyable experience! It was a beautiful morning and, we were able to go quite high and get some amazing views of the area. Christopher is a very knowledgeable and detail oriented instructor. He was able to answer all of my questions and give a good instruction for someone with no flight experience. He was also very mindful of our safety which made me feel comfortable on the flight. I would highly recommend planning a trip with him if you get the chance.”
