At first wife n I were very nervous. Very friendly and experience pilots. Once u are in the air, it is an amazing rush. The view from on top of the mountains is a unique once in a life time experience. So calm n relaxing. Was way easier n less scary 😨 then I thought. Wife who is scare if height, enjoy it. Staff was amazing and friendly. Huge animal lovers. They have a few doggies.

A must do!

Two of us did this. My friend is severely afraid of heights and even she admitted she would do it again. Amazing experience flying over waterfall and mountainside

Amazing experience in Medellin

It was a great excuse. Very well organised and felt very safe. The take off and landing were well performed. The instructors really know what they are doing. Highly recommend

Great tour

Super fun!!!

Overall experience was good 👍🏾 and I had lots of fun 🤩 and our instructor was amazing 😻. We were well looked after by the staff, I would highly recommend the tour. Just note that there are steps to take to walk up to the site to get the equipment out on. It took us about 30-45mins to talk, maybe you’ll be faster 😂

Hahahaha this is very funny. Thanks for coming on the tour for your review and for being part of our family. :D Greetings from medellin

Well, the paragliding was great

Amy_D, Sep 2022

I would've given 5 stars, but we ran into an issue. One of the people with our group rented the gopro, but after her flight, they realized it hadn't recorded. So, they let her fly again. No problem. However, the weather changed and she ended up landing in the city instead of back on the launch pad. Still, no problem. Here's the problem. Instead of taking us down to her, for whatever reason, they made us wait for her to be taxied up the mountain. Mind you, we still had to go down anyway when she got to us. We waited HOURS. There was zero communication while this was going on. Her brother (who did speak Spanish and tried to communicate with the driver) got nothing. The driver told us 5 more minutes many times. What started out as a perfect experience turned so quickly. Things happen. But the lack of communication was inexcusable. At the very least, we could've been offered a partial refund. Many in our group had other things planned that afternoon that they missed due to the wait. Again, I have no idea why we waited.

We are saddened and apologize for the problems caused. We will get in touch with our paragliding team to improve every day for you.
