Went tandem paragliding with my dad-in-law, and it was truly the stuff of core memories. Laurence and Pat were our pilots, and they were both chill, professional, and made us feel completely safe the entire way.

The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the experience itself was both thrilling and peaceful at the same time. We went for the 7:30 PM slot, and the lighting was just perfect—golden hour in the sky is something else!

Couldn’t recommend this more. If you’re thinking about it, just go for it. You’ll love it!
