What an incredible adventure hang gliding over Riga! Boris, with over 40 years of experience, made the entire experience safe and thrilling as we soared above the Old Town, Daugava River, and Baltic Sea views. Booking was a breeze via WhatsApp with Tatyana, who responded quickly and clearly to confirm times and details - no hassle at all. Boris’s calm expertise put me at ease from briefing to landing, turning a bucket list thrill into pure magic. Highly recommend for adrenaline seekers!

One of the best experiences I had

Georgios_K, Apr 2026

As a private pilot I can warranty that this is a unique experience. The pilot was very knowledgeable and from the beginning he inspir d trust and confidence. The flight was awesome and the view of the beautiful Riga was outstanding. Video of the whole flight was provided and they were kind enough to offer me a ride back to my hotel. I definetely recommend it to everyone.

Soaring with Boris: Epic Hang Gliding Over Riga!

Just fabulous!

Incredible views over the city, the friendliest pilot you could hope for, and a private tour that makes the whole experience feel special. Plus a hangar full of small planes, which is just ridiculously cool if you’re even a little into aviation. ✈️😎

Flying bicycle like ET

Great experience. Highly recommend for the experience. It was empty and quiet place because not much sign up for but worth of experience.

A once in a lifetime thrill

Joshua_K, Sep 2025

Absolutely amazing experience and what a way to see the city! Definitely not for the faint of heart and if you’re afraid of heights you really might want to think about something else, but if your up for a once in a lifetime experience and unequaled views of the city and surrounding areas then this is it. Boris the pilot has over 40 years of flying experience and really knows what he’s doing, but there is very little communication before and zero during the flight, so don’t expect running commentary or explanations of what’s happening or going to happen. You have to trust the man and trust his equipment as you are literally sitting in a seat in the open air 1000 feet up and hanging by a few wires. As another review said, it’s like skydiving, but it last longer. If you have questions beforehand, Tatyana is great about communication via WhatsApp and they provide you with an amazing Go-Pro video and pictures of your flight included in the price which is a great bonus. I really can’t recommend this experience highly enough. It is truly a once in a lifetime thrill. Just be sure you know what you’re getting into before you book it. Don’t be put off by the closed airport and hangar they fly out of. It may look like a hideout from the old Batman TV show, but it’s only a 15 minutes cab ride from the city center and it works just fine. Good luck and happy flying!

Adventure of a lifetime!

Wow, what an adventure. Boris was great he's been flying for over 40 years. You literally fly over Riga

Great, but only for the bold

Morino_R, Aug 2025

The hang gliding tour was great, quite similar to skydiving but in some aspects better in the sense that the fun lasts longer. Let it be noted that that this is definitely not for people that have a fear of heights or the average person which will start panicking etc. My only personal drawback which is relatively speaking minor compared to the overall excellence of an actively like this is summed up in one word: vertigo; I become somewhat nauseous and dizzy to the point where it feels that you want to puke when you actually don't have to do so, and this occurs specifically when your landing and close to the ground due to the left and right rapid movements of the glider. Others might not have this issue, that's why I said it's specifically something pertaining to me. But it's also something that can obviously befall other people. One remedy I can recommend is to close your eyes before landing the second the aforementioned swerving takes place, that minimizes nausea. I would still do it again though, as well as skydiving (but highly unlikely for both activities because once is enough in my personal opinion, anything more is impractical).
