Sapa Highest Paragliding Adventure con pickup & drop-off

Some friends and I decided to dish out some cash and try paragliding in Sapa. Unfortunately, I really didn't enjoy this experience, for several reasons. (1) Starting with pick up, they were about an hour late coming to our hotel. I don't mind if there are unavoidable issues that prevent a pick up, but we should have been informed more than 15 minutes in advance that they would be late. (2) Second, when we arrived they demanded that we pay cash, despite the fact that when my friend payed the deposit online she was told that the remaining expense would be withdrawn from her credit card on the flight day. We just barely had enough cash between all of us! And then, the guy asking for our money didn't have change to break our bill and it looked like he would have just taken the difference if we didn't strongly insist, whereupon he went and got money from our driver. (3) Most importantly we had trouble enjoying the flying. They really wanted us to use their selfie sticks during flight (presumably to get marketing material which they would use without our consent). After refusing firmly twice, my pilot put away the selfie stick, but then pulled it out mid-flight without warning me and recorded me! My girlfriend said her guide forced her to use a selfie stick even when she refused. And my friend said her guide put her into a strong spin without warning/asking in order to get a reaction after she said she wasn't scared (she's a climber, and heights don't frighten her). This failed to frighten her, but it did make her nauseous for the next several hours. Overall, not a recommended experience unless you just want cool selfies to send to friends and family.

Everything is well organized and the pilots explain everything thoroughly and professional. The view amazing.

Had the opportunity to run off a mountain and did it with fly sapa. We had an absolute blast and incredible time. Really appreciate the communication from the company who recommended we do the parasailing the day before we booked due to weather and we ended up with an amazing view in the end. If you're thinking of doing this , I would have no problem recommending you do it with them !!

Best gliding experience I’ve had! This is more fun than hang gliding in Rio De Janiero, Nhat my pilot was very professional and the drone footage was amazing! You should do this trip whenever you go to Sa Pa!

Beautiful experience. Great pilot. Had an amazing experience seeing the beautiful Sapa. I highly recommend.

It was beyond fabulous the instructor was so reassuring

It was simply amazing. The company are so good at making you feel at ease. I was quite scared but felt reassured by their attentiveness. Please choose them as please do a paraglide you won’t regret it. The views were breathtaking too

I had the best time today! Canh was so sweet and really made me feel at ease. The whole experience ran smoothly and has became one of the highlights of my trip! Thank you Canh!

A late thank you to my pilot, Rocket. I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to say this in person, but you made my experience truly beautiful. Thank you for your kindness and for keeping me safe from takeoff to landing. This experience will always have a special place in my heart, and I’ll cherish the memories forever. Fly freely, Rocket!

Had an exiting session over the paddy fields. The overall experience was really good. Highly recommend.
