I have done a lot of adventures but there is none quite like this one, which leaves you knowing how it feels to glide like a bird and float upon the wind. I have hiked the hills and swam the oceans and now I see there is an entire new world to explore above in the air. This experience is nothing like flying in an airplane or even ultralight aircraft. Paragliding is much more relaxed, peaceful and in touch with the elements. It was so fun to turn left and right in the are and look at the amazing views. I was nervous about paragliding but Chris the instructor put my mind at ease with his depth of knowledge, patience, and kind personality. The moment we lifted off I sat back in my full body cradling harness and felt incredibly safe like I was relaxing in a hammock. I could not believe how quiet and lovely it was in the air floating back and forth and riding silently over the trees. I highly recommend this experience for your time in Maui as it is very unique feeling and unforgettable. You also get to explore the lovely hills of "upcountry" Maui. Chris was my guide, and he gave me all the time in the world to ask questions and feel great. Super fun!!
