Great time!

Ian_P, May 2024

Well worth doing, fantastic views over the city, guides were very knowledgeable and safe. Would highly recommend for anyone with a bit of taste for adventure.

Unforgettable memory!!

Jose_M, Apr 2024

ALL OF IT WAS AMAZING! A must do while in Medellin. I was so scared but Stiven, Hellen, and Emerson all made the experience so good. I was still scared as heck while in the air but the whole time I felt supported. This will be a memory I never forget!

A must do!

Derrick_H, Mar 2024

The tour operator communicated well and in advance. The paragliding experience was top notch! A must

Great memorable experience

Divya_J, Feb 2024

This was an amazing experience. Our driver picked us up on time from our hotel and we drove to where we were paragliding from. On the way, he pointed out several landmarks and gave us I formation about Medellin. We had to climb steps up to the hill from where there was an amazing view. We were then greeted by our tour coordinator who helped us get checked in and introduced us to the pilot who would take us down. The experience itself was incredible and so peaceful in the air. They had you hold a go pro which you could use to capture your experience. They transferred these to your phone before leaving. Overall, I would defintely recommend this or do it again myself!

Great Experience

Jessica_W, Jan 2024

First time! Can't wait to do it again! Walking up those steps to get to the hill top was the hardest part but absolutely worth it!

Paragliding experience

Nguyen_D, Dec 2023

Such an incredible and beautiful experience. My guide made me feel safe throughout the experience and walked me through takeoff and landing precautions. I love that round trip transfer was included in the total cost. Overall highly recommend

Wonderful driver and a good first paragliding experience but wish I had different pilot

roneecunningham, Nov 2023

To start with my driver, Waldo was amazing! Even though he is not fluent in English (and I only know a few words in Spanish) as the day went on our communication became easier and easier. He was a very safe driver and very personable. Waldo really made me feel comfortable on this tour. However, I did not have the best experience with my pilot (I cannot recall his name). He spoke no English at all and seemed a little inexperienced. We never flew that high or far out like everyone else that went up the same time and he kept circling near the waterfall. It got to the point that I started to get motion sickness from being whipped around in a tight spiral continuously. And also I was not able to take much video with the GoPro as I had to keep asking for it and after what seemed like seconds he would roughly take it out of my hands. I must say that once I indicated that I was starting to feel sick, he was more attentive and made sure that I got back on the ground as quickly as possible. My driver had also picked up another couple and their experience was totally different than mine. They loved their pilot and his attentiveness to them. Based on their experience and mine with our driver, I would give this tour another try as there are many pilots who seem excellent.

A MUST DO in Medellin

Huyen_V, Oct 2023

My friends and I had the best time! Our driver, Stevin, picked us up at our hotel right on time for our scheduled paragliding adventure, stayed with us the entire time, and dropped us off after we were done. The paragliding adventure was breathtaking and I highly recommend anyone visiting Medellin do this! Videos and photos were includedin the package. Tip: recommend booking this company as they provide a driver. Trying to get there on your own may be challenging since the roads are sketchy, windy, steep, and narrow.

Super fun :)

Alice_C, Oct 2023

Super fun and great view! They contacted me via WhatsApp the day before to give me pickup info, the driver was there on time and brought me directly to and from the paragliding site. The experience was nicely organized and I was in the air within 15-20. Imo 15 min flight is more than enough to get the feel of everything. Driver did not speak English but the people at the paragliding site did! I was home by 1pm!

Fun and well organized

Max_J, Sep 2023

Super fun experience with great views of Medellin and the country side. Included transportation made the experience seamless.

Excellent guide

Mariana_W, Aug 2023

My guide was awesome! He stayed up extra for me and made sure I was comfortable the entire flight. However make sure you bring your passport on the way up because the police will ask for it and if you don’t have it with you, they will take all cash you have or else they will take you to court. Bribery and cop robbery is a real thing. Recommend this tour though!

Unforgettable

Gabrielle_B, Jul 2023

It was such a memorable experience! These memories the tour company created, will last for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for making this experience an unforgettable one. 💗

Definitely one of the...

NATHAN_C, Jul 2023

Definitely one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had. Great staff, energy and fun! The only part I was skeptical about or had worries was getting too close to another paragliding person and the two yelled at each other because they knew it was too close.

Would book again!

Karen_E, Jun 2023

Amazing experience!! The crew was so friendly and the photos to remember were awesome! Definitely book this experience!!

Servicio 10/10

Andrea_G, Jun 2023

This experience was amazing!! 1000/10 service. Andres picked us up from our hotel and back and guided us towards the whole thing with much carefulness and professionalism. I would 10000% do it again. Great tour!! — ¡¡Esta experiencia fue increíble!! Servicio 1000/10. Andrés nos recogió desde nuestro hotel y nos guió hacia el sitió principal con mucho cuidado y profesionalismo. Lo volvería a hacer al 10000%. Gran recorrido!!

Perfect paragliding experience

Jesse_K, Jun 2023

This was my first time paragliding and everything was perfect. Daniel was a great driver and picked me up at my hostel in El Poblado for a beautiful 45 minute ride to Bello. I had to wait a few minutes for my turn, but it wasn’t a problem because the views of Medellin and the Andes from the departure point are incredible. Sebastian was my pilot and it was a smooth and beautiful ride.

A great flight

Eddie_D, Apr 2023

I highly recommend the paragliding experience. Honestly I was a bit hesitant wondering about safety standards but decided on my last trip to take the plunge with a local friend. Everything was up to par. I’ve paraglided from Aspen to Cape Town and loved this experience. Next time I’ll probably just Uber up and pay directly for the flight but the convenience of a private pick up and coordination is well worth it especially if you’re not fluent in Spanish. Happy flying!

Awesome

Farina_D, Apr 2023

Had a great time. I booked the tour alone because the rest of the group was scared. everything was great and I as a young woman alone had a great pickup and return trip.

10000% Recommend!

Sydney_B, Apr 2023

10000% recommend paragliding while in Medellín! This was the coolest experience in the city, you have to make sure to make time for this. The "pilots" are extremely knowledgeable and make you feel safe during the flight!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hi Sidney! thank you very much for this review. Always a pleasure and always welcome in our beautiful city, wish you the best!

A lifetime experience

Nadja_N, Mar 2023

Aircon in the car was missing. On the way back was a lot of traffic and in the car the air got really warm. But everything else was good. Would book again
