The hang gliding was very fun!
It wasn’t the most pleasant experience. The guide was RUDE!!! She made my friend totally uncomfortable, after making us wait in ver an hour only to come tell her that she was “too big” to hang glide. We asked her over and over what the weight requirements were and she only stated “I know you are too big”… and honestly she’s not big at all! In the end someone else advised my friend that it was due to the wind that the company was giving guests the “option” to paraglide. That was never given to us and others that were a lot bigger were able to do it! Communication was terrible! And in the end they hassle you to pay for videos and picture that are usually free. Overall the paragliding experience was better! She was able to have her phone and meta sunglasses on. I on the other hand was not and it forced me to spend an unnecessary amount on footage.
Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely glad to hear that the paragliding experience turned out to be a great success and that your friend enjoyed her flight! However, we are deeply saddened to hear that our communication left you feeling uncomfortable, as this is never our intention. We take passenger comfort and safety very seriously, and we would like to clarify our safety protocols for future travelers reading this: Strict Weight & Weather Limits: Hang gliding involves rigid equipment with strict manufacturer weight limits that change dynamically based on wind conditions. On days with specific wind speeds, the maximum weight limit must be lowered for safety. This is an international aviation protocol, not a personal judgment. The Paragliding Alternative: When a guest safely exceeds the hang gliding limit for the day's weather, our mandatory protocol is to offer paragliding as an alternative, as it has a much higher weight capacity. We are proud that our team successfully pivoted to ensure your friend didn't miss out on flying, and we apologize if the explanation of these technical safety limits felt poorly communicated. Media Packages: To ensure complete transparency for future guests, standard photos and videos are 100% free and included in your booking. However, passengers are not permitted to hold loose personal phones or smart glasses during a hang gliding flight due to the severe safety hazard of dropping them from the sky. Because of this, we offer an optional, premium 360-degree video upgrade taken on our certified equipment. Purchasing this advanced footage is entirely optional, and the standard media remained free. We always prioritize human life and safety above all else, even when it means delivering difficult news about equipment limits. We are glad we could get you both safely into the air, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Warm regards, The Management Team PS By the way may i know your full name and date you flew because i can only see Sharda here and with this name i do not see any customer booked this month
