There are a number of great reviews from various people. This is a review from someone who gets dizzy just being on a two-story balcony. If you're like me (or even if you're not), keep reading.
Our tandem flights with Paraglide Maui were actually a surprise for my wife during our Hawaii cruise. I knew she'd love it, even though we've never done anything like it. I was hesitant, but willing to give it a try (knowing I had the option to keep my eyes closed). I opted for us to take the lower 1K flight.
SPOILER ALERT: Now that I've experienced paragliding with these guys, I'd go for the higher Top Gun launch in a heartbeat. There was never a feeling of falling or butterflies in the stomach. Just an amazing view of Maui as we glided across the slope. Honestly ... from the moment I found them on the web, booked the flights online, watched the pre-flight video briefing, followed the directions to find them, filled out paperwork, rode up the side of Haleakala to the launch spot, got suited up in the harness ... all the way to when I landed ... these guys were top notch professionals.
Dexter and Abhay (I hope I'm remembering that spelling right) were AMAZING tandem pilots, and individualized their approach based on the student pilots (that was us!) They answered any questions, were upbeat and reassuring to those of us (me) who were nervous about it, and always gave a sense of security and safety.
If you have time on Maui and want to do something unique and memorable for you and your family, I cannot recommend Paraglide Maui enough. I'm certain we would do it again if we ever make it back to the island. It was THE highlight of our cruise, and we thank the guys for making it an amazing...

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of flying with Paraglide Maui, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, the team was professional, safety-conscious, and genuinely committed to making our adventure unforgettable.
We both opted for the "Top Gun" flight, and it exceeded every expectation we had. The team ensures that conditions are perfectly safe before taking off, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience.
I was initially hesitant because I’ve had multiple surgeries on my leg and was worried about the ability to run for take-off. I let them know about my concerns in advance, and they had a plan in place—resulting in an awesome, smooth take-off! Their understanding and preparation meant so much to me.
The scenery during the flight was absolutely breathtaking, and the instructors were phenomenal. My pilot, Paul, was super experienced, kind, informative, and made the entire flight feel effortless. My husband was paired with Dexter, who turned out to be the perfect match for him. The team truly excels at matching each "student" with the right instructor for a tailored, comfortable experience. Their background and experience is impressive.
A special shoutout to Peter (also an experience pilot), the owner, who was incredibly reassuring when I called to explain my concerns. He put my mind at ease from the very first conversation.
If you’re on the fence about this experience—especially if you have any physical limitations—don’t hesitate to reach out to them. They will work with you to ensure you have the best possible time.
JUST DO IT—you...
Read moreDuring our recent trip to Hawaii, we made wonderful memories and met some wonderful folks at Paraglide Maui. Paul and Chuck were not only highly skilled but contagiously passionate about sharing their love of paragliding. I was lucky to have Chuck as my tandem pilot. The takeoff from the picturesque location was smooth, and once airborne, the feeling of weightlessness combined with the stunning views of the coastline and lush landscapes created an unforgettable moment. The tandem flight allowed me to relax and fully immerse myself in the experience while Chuck handled the technical aspects. The duration of the flight was just right, providing ample time to savor the beauty of Maui from a unique vantage point. If you choose to get a taste of a roller coaster adrenaline rush experience, Chuck is your man. The landing was as smooth as the takeoff, capping off an adventure that exceeded all expectations. For those seeking an adventure that combines adrenaline and natural beauty, Paraglide Maui is an absolute must. Whether you're a seasoned paraglider or a first-timer, the team's expertise and the stunning backdrop of Maui make for an unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Paraglide Maui to anyone looking to add a touch of magic to...
