Paul, Peter, and the crew at this operation have clearly mastered both the technical and human side of paragliding. Reviewers consistently highlight how the instructors prioritize safety without killing the thrill—they wait for perfect conditions, explain everything clearly, and have guests feeling secure within moments of launch. The flights take off from Haleakala's volcanic slopes, and multiple people describe it as a trip highlight, with some returning year after year. The "Top Gun" option gets particular praise for its extended airtime and the chance to soar through clouds with rainbow halos. What stands out is how welcoming the team makes first-timers feel. People ranging from age 14 to 70 mention having their nerves instantly calmed by the friendly, professional approach. The instructors let you steer if you want, offer optional "roller coaster" maneuvers for thrill-seekers, and capture photos and videos to share at no extra charge. Plan your morning around this since Haleakala's winds can be unpredictable, but the crew's expertise in reading local conditions means you're in capable hands. Note that participants must be at least 14 years old.
High Flying Adventure with the Best Crew! My experience with Paraglide Maui was fantastic from start to finish! The owner and operator, Peter, was incredibly friendly, informative, and helpful throughout the entire booking and preparation process. When it came time to take to the skies, I flew tandem with Dexter. He was exceptional—not only highly skilled and instructional, but he also had a calmly confident demeanor that immediately gave me reassurance I was in good hands. The flight itself was smooth, breathtaking, and an absolute thrill. The entire process was seamless, professional, and memorable. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure in Maui, I highly recommend flying with Paraglide Maui!
