Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch. You go from standing on the hillside to airborne in seconds, with the ground dropping away fast beneath your feet. After that, the flight settles into a sustained glide with panoramic views over Maui's coastline.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Fear of heights on the ground doesn't always translate in the air. With no structure around you and a gradual ascent, most first-timers find the sensation more liberating than vertigo-inducing. That said, if heights are a hard limit for you, this is not the activity to test that boundary mid-flight.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total experience runs 1h to 2h, which includes briefing and setup time. Actual airtime depends on thermal activity on the day.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. The physical level is listed as everybody welcome, and the format is tandem, meaning a certified pilot controls the glider throughout. You need no prior paragliding experience.

Practical info

Season

May – September

Equipment

No gear needed beyond closed-toe shoes and a wind-resistant layer. The session runs up to 2h and physical demands are minimal, but altitude above Maui's upcountry can be cooler than the coast.

Getting there

Meet Paraglide Maui 100 yards before the Alii Kula Lavender Farm, where their flags and red umbrella mark the meeting point.
