Amazing views and incredibly relaxing. My fiance loved it too! I am terrified of heights and this wasn't scary at all. We even upgraded to the "top gun" 3k flight and I dont regret it. To get to be in the air for longer was amazing and the tandem jumpers were incredibly calm and kind. Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!

    I bought this experience for my mom as a birthday gift! She absolutely loved it and had so much fun. Her tandem instructor, Chuck, was very informative and fun! He took a video of her while in the air and she had the best time. The view is stunning!

    Such a thrill and terrific, fresh perspective! Paul and Dexter and Peter made us feel comfortable and confident.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Aloha Jenner. Many thanks for you guys flying with us. Glad you felt comfortable and confident. That sort of happens after we have done about 30,000 tandem flights. :) Mahalo and see you next time.

    BOOK THE LONGER FLIGHT - you will not be disappointed.

    Bethany_F, Nov 2025
    AWESOME experience for my mom, sister and I. All staff was very friendly, funny and really experienced! It was perfect! Would do 100 times again!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Mahalo for the nice review. Glad you all had a great time. And you hit it right on the head. DO THE TOP GUN FLIGHT! :)

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Many thanks Matthew for flying with us. First time for everything. :)

    Looking for something to do in Maui? I highly recommend this, words can’t explain it, you just have to try it!

    Diana_M, Oct 2025
    Everyone should try this. It was amazing! It was a lot easier than I thought. The instructors were awesome, very thorough, friendly, made you feel comfortable and safe. They even took pictures and videos for us which will make this a great memory.The glide was fun and BEAUTIFUL! We will definitely do this again next year, but this time we will do the longer/higher one. Our entire family will be coming to share in this amazing experience! You should too!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Mahalo Diana. It was fun flying you guys. Those BEAUTIFUL views never get old. We'll await the arrival of the 'entire family' next year. See you then. :)

    One of the most...

    Dennise_G, Jun 2025
    One of the most incredible experiences we’ve had. It was magical. The crew made it feel very safe and were great vibes.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Aloha Dennise. Many thanks for the kind words and for flying with us the other day. You guys were fun to have with us. 'Magical' is a great description. :) Mahalo

    Mahalo Alexis. It was great flying with you guys. Didn't I tell you that upgrading to the Top Gun would be the best decision of your vacation? :) See you again on one if your anniversary trips.

    So amazing

    Breean_G, Jun 2025
    My husband and son upgraded to the Top Gun flight, which they agreed was totally worth it. The communication before our event and the professionalism was awesome, and the guides were fun and thorough. We would consider this a MUST do event in Maui!

    Perfect views and gift

    What a great birthday gift for Mom! And a video to show all the grandkids (?) how brave she is. :) Mahalo for flying with us.

    Such a great experience

    Paola_S, Mar 2025
    Staff was so professional I felt at ease the whole time. This was an amazing experience I would definitely recommend it if you’re visiting Maui

    Fantastic!!!

    Melissa_M, Jan 2025
    My two daughters did the 3k tandem and absolutely loved it! Everything from beginning communication through end was prompt and spot on. I highly recommend!

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Mahalo for flying with us back in January. Sorry I didn't see your review until now. I guess I'm not as 'prompt and spot on' as you thought. :) Next time you have to go along with your daughters. :)

    Awesome!

    Stefani_H, Nov 2024
    The view was awesome! I’m the guys were very informative and took pictures for me because I left my phone.

    Response from Host, Nov 2024

    Mahalo, Stefani for flying with us. Even if you did have your phone with you, we find that lots of people end up not even using their phones to take photos and videos after they get in the air. Perhaps because the views and experience are mesmerizing and they just forget. So our instructors all take photos for you and give them to you for free once we land. See you next time. :)

    Don’t miss this great experience

    Munkhzul_W, Jul 2024
    What an amazing experience! Everyone should try at least once or twice. We loved it so much that we did it twice. The crew was outstanding, very experienced and kindest people you’ll ever meet. They will walk you through everything. Definitely must try here in Paraglide Maui!

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Aloha Munkhzul. Thanks for flying with us. Who wouldn't want to go back up and do it again after landing? Well at least the kids did. :) Mahalo and see you next time. Peter

    Soaring in Maui

    Gorgeous views of the island while quietly gliding high above the trees. Absolutely amazing. The crew was pleasant and professional. They walk you through every step to ease takeoff and landing.

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Thanks for flying with. Glad you had an amazing time and see you next time. :)

    Do it! Do it! Do it!

    Amanda_G, Apr 2024
    The entire process was smooth. From booking to getting our pics/videos at the end, it was a well oiled machine. The guides were excellent to work with. And, what a rush!!!

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Aloha Amanda. Thanks for the kind words. A well oiled rush machine. Sounds just right. :) Mahalo

    Great experience, weather dependent

    John_M, Apr 2024
    I took my 2 teenage sons on this excursion. This is very weather dependent. You meet them at the base and then you get in the van and they take you to the top. We chose one run and the paragliding is over pretty quickly, maybe 3 minutes total. You have to take your own pics/video of the experience. We wore long pants. The guys were friendly and we knew what we were getting, it's just the weather you have to worry about.

    Response from Host, May 2024

    Thank you all for flying with us. We can control the wing but not Mother Nature. :)

    A little short, but very enjoyable. Would do again.

    Stacey_S, Feb 2024
    The guides were great and made the experience very enjoyable. The flight was very short, so we would probably upgrade for a longer one next time. All in all it was a good experience and we would do it again.

    High flying vacation fun

    Susan_H, Dec 2023
    Great views with outstanding guides! Very memorable experience for me and my son. Easy to find. A vacation highlight!

    Exhillirating

    Gerry_B, Nov 2023
    Beyond expectation. Amazing. Exhilirating. Its all about scary anticipation but the actual flight is smooth, calm. Dexter was very reassuring and excellent. The tour service was easy and smooth from start to finish. I booked for 1000 ft but went for the 3000 ft. Would rec the 3k. Peter was very helpful in helping how to get there. We prearrange a taxi by the cruiseship. But now, the ship will provide flagging random taxi stand right off the ship. Peter was so helpful and dropped us off the ship. I can do this again, maybe a new hobby? For a 60+…
