Lie to you about canceling due to unforseen circumstances. Kept on blaming each other. Viator and vendor

Response from Host, Mar 2026

THis is unbelievable. We cancel the flight due to poor weather, as there is nothing we can do, then we send the refund to the client and we get a 1 star review? We have nothing to say about this, very sad that the client wishes to harm our reputation due to a problem not caused by us and that we cannot fix. Very sad

Great experience

The overall experience was great. I thoroughly enjoyed paragliding. My only issue is that my pilot/tour guide seemed to get kind of snappy and irritated with me very easily. Before taking off, I simply asked him "what should I hold onto during the flight" and he got so annoyed. During the flight he kept yelling at me to "close my legs" - my legs were as closed as they could be. Mid flight I realized what he was really trying to say was CROSS your legs.

This was a beautiful experience. My pilot Andrezinho was awesome, professional and a great support system. He guided me to the point of forgetting my fear of high. This is super great and fun activity. Highly recommend it
