Hawaii Paragliding

On a Tandem Paragliding Adventure you will be able to experience the thrill and exuberance of flying over beautiful Hawai’i. The majestic mountains of the Koolau Range carved by fire, water and wind create unique topography that will take your breath away. Flying over the blue turquoise waters will reveal abundant coral reefs and marine life that can be best seen from above. Entice your senses and rejuvenate your soul! From the moment your feet leave the launch, you will feel the pure joy and satisfaction only a tandem paragliding flight can provide. No noisy engines, crazy jumps or free falls. Just the peaceful trade winds gently embracing our wing as we walk into the air. Go ahead, grab your phone and schedule your tandem flying with us by calling 808-779-9013. If you need more info, keep on reading. 😉

You will be flying with an experienced USHPA (United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association – www.USHPA.org) certified tandem instructor. He will check the wing, gear and connections in preparations for launch. Then he will use the wind to inflate the wing above your heads into flying mode and, together, you will walk into the skies. The flight should last approximately forty-five minutes in the air. During the flight you can sit back, relax and enjoy the views, take pictures or even give it a try on the controls and steer the glider (if conditions allow). Landing is just as easy. Flying away from the ridge, you will slowly start to descend as your instructor pilot prepares you for landing. He will slow down the aircraft's speed as you gently touch the ground on your feet.

At higher altitudes it can get a little chilly. For your comfort, we recommend wearing pants and a light jacket (or long-sleeve shirt). You may also want to bring a camera, sunglasses, sunscreen and a water bottle. Be prepared – wear good shoes or hiking boots, no “slippahs” please! It is very likely you will be required to do a short hike (15-20 min) up the hill to the launch area caring a 20-lb backpack. There are no age restrictions (but we recommend to be between 10 and 80 years and in good health conditions), only weight limits: 55 to 220lbs. Please let us know your weight ahead of time. A waiver must be signed (parents must be present and sign for children under 18 years old). Follow your instructor's commands at all times. Reserve at least two hours for the whole fun-filled adventure.

Flying a paraglider is a unique experience and best shared with friends! Let us know how many people are in your party so that we can arrange more tandem pilots to share the sky at the same time and take air-to-air pictures of each other.

We are very lucky to be in beautiful Hawai’i. The trade winds are ideal for flying and prevail all year round, but sometimes it can be a bit too strong or not the right direction. Sorry, we do not have control over Mother Nature and, for your safety, we won't fly on those rare days.
