Paraglide Maui reviews
18Good friendly staff. Nice location. Wish the flight time was a little longer or at least as much as advertised. Maybe it just felt shorter. -:)
During our recent trip to Hawaii, we made wonderful memories and met some wonderful folks at Paraglide Maui. Paul and Chuck were not only highly skilled but contagiously passionate about sharing their love of paragliding. I was lucky to have Chuck as my tandem pilot. The takeoff from the picturesque location was smooth, and once airborne, the feeling of weightlessness combined with the stunning views of the coastline and lush landscapes created an unforgettable moment. The tandem flight allowed me to relax and fully immerse myself in the experience while Chuck handled the technical aspects. The duration of the flight was just right, providing ample time to savor the beauty of Maui from a unique vantage point. If you choose to get a taste of a roller coaster adrenaline rush experience, Chuck is your man.
The landing was as smooth as the takeoff, capping off an adventure that exceeded all expectations. For those seeking an adventure that combines adrenaline and natural beauty, Paraglide Maui is an absolute must. Whether you're a seasoned paraglider or a first-timer, the team's expertise and the stunning backdrop of Maui make for an unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Paraglide Maui to anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their visit.
Excellent experience with Paul and Paul, our two great tandem pilots! What an adventure! We felt as though we were snorkeling in the sky. Everything from the booking, transportation to the site from the meeting zone, to the actual lift off was handled professionally. We felt very safe. This was a joy to be a part of!
This was my second time enjoying this adventure with this team! The 1st was the 2K and this time we upgraded to the higher elevation and I have to say it was more than worth every Penny! The team was amazing and we had an awesome flight! We were in the air much longer than our two flight combines last year! It comfortable and believe it or not relaxing! Not a better view of the island available anywhere! Do it! You will fall in love with it just like I did!
There are a number of great reviews from various people. This is a review from someone who gets dizzy just being on a two-story balcony. If you're like me (or even if you're not), keep reading.
Our tandem flights with Paraglide Maui were actually a surprise for my wife during our Hawaii cruise. I knew she'd love it, even though we've never done anything like it. I was hesitant, but willing to give it a try (knowing I had the option to keep my eyes closed). I opted for us to take the lower 1K flight.
SPOILER ALERT: Now that I've experienced paragliding with these guys, I'd go for the higher Top Gun launch in a heartbeat. There was never a feeling of falling or butterflies in the stomach. Just an amazing view of Maui as we glided across the slope. Honestly.from the moment I found them on the web, booked the flights online, watched the pre-flight video briefing, followed the directions to find them, filled out paperwork, rode up the side of Haleakala to the launch spot, got suited up in the harness.all the way to when I landed.these guys were top notch professionals.
Dexter and Abhay (I hope I'm remembering that spelling right) were AMAZING tandem pilots, and individualized their approach based on the student pilots (that was us!) They answered any questions, were upbeat and reassuring to those of us (me) who were nervous about it, and always gave a sense of security and safety.
If you have time on Maui and want to do something unique and memorable for you and your family, I cannot recommend Paraglide Maui enough. I'm certain we would do it again if we ever make it back to the island. It was THE highlight of our cruise, and we thank the guys for making it an amazing adventure. MAHALO!
This was a great adventure!
We are not 'spring chickens' and they gave extra TLC to make sure we felt safe and comfortable.
I highly recommend them.
While I did not paraglide, my wife and sister did. The smiles on their faces told me everything I needed to know. They LOVED the entire experience!
It’s a must do on Maui if you have the time and it fits into your travel budget.
A must do in Maui! Choose the 3,000 ft option!
Maui from 3,000 ft above is incredible.
I am a total beginner and this was my first time paragliding. They send instructional videos in advance which was very informative and captured everything I needed to know about how to get to the meeting spot, safety compliance matters, and the logistics of flying.
Paul the owner, Paul F, and Juan were very knowledgeable, personable, and committed to making your flying experience the best that it can be. We opted for the 3,000 ft option after we arrived at the location and I'm so glad they suggested it. Thank you Paraglide Maui team for the unforgettable experience!
Had an awesome safe flight while enjoying some beautiful scenery. Would recommend. My pilot was great
I'm so glad I chose to try paragliding with Paraglide Maui. The whole team was very friendly and informative about the whole process. Dexter, my tandem guide, was super great to fly with, as he showed me how he maneuvers, did some speedy spins, and took some great photos while in the air.
I did the "Top Gun" flight rather than the 1K foot flight. We were wicked high up, with views of the entirety of Central Maui and some of the neighboring islands in the distance. We were in the air for 10 minutes, and it was so much fun that that felt like it went by way too fast.
I totally recommend chasing the thrill and doing the Top Gun tandem flight with Paraglide Maui!
Mahalo for a memorable experience, guys, I hope to fly with you again!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Awesome, extremely knowledgeable and kind instructors, sharing their passion for paragliding in the most beautiful area. Inspired us to take up the hobby! Thanks for the best experience!
We were excited about paragliding and found the staff here extremely professional and spot-on with disability issues. All four of us have some type of visual impairment and the instructors were totally natural and great at describing every part of the process, including during the flights. It was a bucket list item for sure, fulfilled expertly.
The instructors are happy and chill. When you visit Maui you must do this. The kids LOVED this. And go for the 3000 ft. (Highest they offer)
Amazing experience! Abhay, Chris, Paul, Juan, and Dexter were all super helpful and made sure we had a great time!
Whole experience from start to finish was professional, exciting, & comfortable! I felt they explained everything very throughly, were patient and courteous in their explanations. I felt very safe with Chuck and trusted him completely! He did some very fun turning maneuvers which took the experience over the top for me! I felt like I was riding a rollercoaster! The views were breathtaking and the experience was very exhilarating! I would do it again and and again and again!
A once in a lifetime experience. The crew was super nice and made the experience even more memorable. They are big on safety and want you have the best time. I highly recommend you try this in your visit.
Awesome experience. Guides are fantastic. It was our second trip with these guys and can’t wait to go again. 50 stars
Absolutly loved this adventure! The whole crew was amazing and it was the most fantastic way to spend a morning in Maui. A big thank you to Dexter and the rest of the crew.
