Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The instructor was kind, caring and funny, my only qualm is the ride felt very short, but it felt amazing!
I really enjoyed everything about Hand Gliding it's much more fun than Paragliding. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this experience because it's such a thrill.
