We were picked up and transferred to another van where we were told which pilot was assigned to us. Then we drove about 20 minutes uphill to the takeoff point. Once there, we had to carry some heavy equipment up a flight of stairs to reach the launch area. It added a bit of effort to the experience, but overall it was still enjoyable.

We lost an entire day for less than 10 minutes of paragliding which, while beautiful, was honestly the only good part.

The paragliding experience itself was wonderful, and both my friend and I truly enjoyed it. However, the communication could’ve been better. We were left waiting for long periods before and after the flight without much explanation, which made us feel a bit out of the loop. It would’ve been more reassuring if the staff had been more informative during those times. Still, we had fun overall and left with big smiles but there’s definitely room for improvement in organization.

The guys at Freedom Paragliding were absolutely top tier! Super friendly, laid back, and genuinely took great care of us throughout the experience. We had a delay because of bad weather, but instead of making us wait around, they surprised us with a little trip and even provided lunch all free of charge! It was such a thoughtful touch. They’re fully insured and incredibly hospitable. You have to give them a try it’s not just a flight, it’s an unforgettable day!
