I originally thought about doing this almost 20 years ago but never took the leap, literally. As I was running towards the next decade of life last September, I decided to run off a cliff and get one more adventure in beforehand with Paraglide Maui's "Top Gun" Flight. If you are debating which flight to do, 100% worth doing the Top Gun flight. I was most nervous about the take off and the landing so you might as well get the most time in the air (12 min) in return vs. having to take off and land twice with the Double K for only 8 min total. Beautiful bi-coastal views as you soar through the skies with a Birds Eye view or exhilarating G-force maneuvers like the spiral dive. Do be aware that if you do decide to do the spiral dive, it shortens your fly time. What a memorable pre-birthday experience and thanks to co-owners Peter and Paul for capturing some of those moments for us and with us as our tandem instructors. read more

Amazing experience! The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly and the views were incredible.

This crew is wonderful. They were very knowledgeable, friendly and above everything....SAFE. I was nervous about soaring for my first time but they were great and made me feel comfortable. Go for the 6,500 flight....you'll kick yourself if you don't! read more

Awesome 1st time paragliding and got lucky with some really nice people helping us out. Chris was my tandem partner and he was awesome. Walked me through what to do and we took off easily. Even landed on our feet the first time. read more

Our first time paragliding could not have been better thanks to Dexter and Paul. I'm afraid of heights and was quiet anxious going into it, but from the moment my feet lifted off the ground. Paul made it an amazing experience. I've done hang gliding (in Honolulu), but I was so anxious I didn't get to enjoy it as I did with paragliding. We did the 3,000 ft experience (highly recommended). Note: When they said dress in warm clothes: they mean dress in warm clothes. Lol. Dress for 50 degree weather. I would definitely do this again if it was for a different view. If you're in Maui, this is a must!!! read more

Went paragliding with them on 11/3/2021 and had a great time. I highly recommend this company! They make you feel so safe and go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. I'm afraid of heights and I felt so safe doing this! Staff & owner are very friendly & truly want you to have a great experience with them. If it wasn't for Nikki @ the Marriott suggesting this we would have never done this. Thanks for the suggestion Nikki!! read more

My first experience paragliding was absolutely awesome. I felt extremely safe and informed while gliding with Chris Hoyte my tandem pilot. We went through a layer of cloud cover and with the help of a compass, he navigated us safely through the other side. The views were stunning. Chris made it an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this experience while you are visiting Maui. read more

We are soooo glad we did this. All the pilot/instructors were so nice. Paul was my husband's instructor. Chuck was mine. My husband is 50, I'm 45, it was our first time & we loved it. The price is great & it was worth every penny. The peace & beauty flying is just incomparable. read more

Really fun. I am afraid of height, but still enjoy the activity. This was my first time and therefore we chose 1000 meter. The only regret was that 1000 meter is too short. I will choose 3000 meter for sure if I will try again. The view overlooking Maui was spectacular. read more

The big flight was well worth it! Rescheduling was easy after the first day was too cloudy to fly. The team was able to accommodate a last minute request on a day that was already booked out. And as a solo pilot I was even permitted to join by flying in the sky at the same time that my partner was doing a tandem flight, achieving our dream of being able to fly at the same time! read more

Paraglide Maui - Flying together over Haleakala - Paragliding Near Me - Kula, Hawaii

A BIG thank you to Proflyght for making my first time paragliding the most exhilarating experience of my life. Paragliding with Proflygte was a spectacular way to see Maui. I started on the slopes of Mt Haleakalā at 6,500 feet and soared through the mesmerizing skies with a birds eye view of Maui. The staff and experience from start to finish was fantastic. As we were conversing on our ride up to Mt Haleakalā, I learned Dexter, the owner of the company taught the father of Kyle Ellison, the author of Moon Handbook-Maui (my favorite Maui guidebook) how to paraglide. Small world! Lucky me to have the odds be in my favor to be paired with the Paraglider Colorado Record Holder (Distance 153 miles), Pete Thomson for tandem paragliding. He was an encouraging, patient, and charming cheerleader ;). I was coached perfectly for the take off, ride, and landing. Bottom line: Paragliding in scenic Maui is an unforgettable experience. Make it the best by booking with Proflyght. Their enthusiastic and friendly staff will make your paragliding adventure a memorable one. read more

This is a must while in Maui. Very thrilling and relaxing at the same time. Do the 3000 ft! It's the only way to go! The wind was just right we were both able to get a 20 min flight. Will be doing this every year we come back!! read more

Thank you Proflyght Paragliding Maui for making my first flight amazing! The owner, Dexter, was very helpful in answering my questions when making my reservation.

Second time flying with these guys. Paul and Dexter are pro's pros and super nice guys. The view is as gorgeous as you'll find anywhere on Earth and the flight is peaceful and quite memorable.

Paraglide Maui - Amazing day! - Paragliding Near Me - Kula, Hawaii

What a nice experience. Very comfortable and peaceful. The flight itself lasted for about 10 minutes with some amazing views. There were 2 instructors - Dexter and Paul. Both were very nice and explained all the steps, answered all questions. Dexter has more than 10000 flights and Paul has more than 3000 flights. It looks scary from a distance but it's not. My wife was not feeling well and we had to cancel her flight with less than 48 hours to reservation and they refunded the money without any questions. Must do for anyone visiting Maui !! read more

This was by far one of the best experiences I've had in Maui. My cousin and I had such a blast cruising through the air and hitting hot pockets. The scenery was absolutely magnificent, and this experience had definitely interested me in solo paragliding! Thanks Paul and Paul for a great flight up in the sky! read more

Wife and I went for tandem flights here early in the morning. We got there early and were super rushed by Dotty to get in the van and get up to the launch point. This women needed a chill pill as she basically ruined the fun of it for us. For $380 for two people, they should be bending over backwards to make you feel welcome on their property but this lady was super rude. We did meet Dexter once, he was super friendly, nice guy. Too bad he wasn't filling Dotty's role. We got up to the launch point, which is fun in itself as it's steep inclines the entire drive up in a huge van. My pilot was a younger guy, said he had about 2 years experience. My wife's had been doing it much longer, like 20. Mine let me pilot around a bit, hers did not even offer it. So I guess that's hit or miss, maybe just ask if you can. Mine put us into a spin with some nice g's, hers didn't. My landing sucked though as the chair was smacking the back of my knees and I nearly faceplanted. I asked my wife about her chair and she said it wasn't hitting her knees. Not sure if that's normal, but I surely wasn't running anywhere with the chair digging into my knees when we landed! Once we landed, Dotty again rushed us to grab our stuff out of the van and move out of the way for the new group going to the launch. No thanks for coming, take care, need directions, etc. Maybe that lady was having a bad day, but I feel the trip was a rip-off solely for the poor customer service. I'm glad I did it, pretty killer views from way up high, but I wouldn't do it again. At least not with this company if Dotty still works there. read more

Such an amazing experience! This was my first time paragliding, and I had no clue what to expect. I went tandem with Dexter, who was great at answering all of my questions, providing clear instructions, and taking pictures in the air. The entire team did a wonderful job of making everyone feel comfortable and excited. read more

If you're ever on Maui and looking for a little adventure, I highly recommend doing a tandem with Proflyght, Dexter, the owner, and his guys are pros and are just all around the best group of people you'll ever meet. Dotti is efficient in getting you all setup with your paperwork, which takes less than a minute, she gets everyone safely to the top for launch, where you can begin your memorable adventure. I visited the site twice in one week, and I'm totally hooked, I'm going back to San Francisco and will take flight classes to get my license. I hope to be back flying solo with these guys. read more

I went on a 3000ft tandem flight with Terry, and he was great! He made me feel like I was the coolest guy on the tour, and he let me choose between a peaceful ride or a ride with tricks mixed into it.

My daughter has always wanted to do this, so my partner and I joined her last week in trying paragliding. Each of us had wonderful, experienced and kind instructors who put safety first, and gave us amazing experiences on our first flights! I had unexpected queasiness, but my instructor did his best to make it a smooth and easy flight, and my daughter and partner were thrilled with their flights - so much that my daughter plans to take lessons back in NY when she gets home! read more

these guys run the training hill; did some short sledders one morning while there. Dexter the owner used to work at Cloud 9 in Utah. I would have given 5 stars but they didn't let me launch from the top! if you're looking for something memorable to do on your trip a tandem here would be awesome, or if you're a pilot and here to fly check in with these guys and they'll show you when and where. read more

This is my family's 1st time to any island of Hawaii and we decided to try paragliding as an excursion while we are here. I almost just booked it for my husband & 2 teenage boys because doing something like this is extremely out of my comfort zone. Im so glad I booked it for myself as well. It was the most incredibly amazing experience ever. All of the instructors were knowledgeable, helpful, kind & patient. They were very accommodating to what each of us did or didn't want to do while in the air. (I get motion sickness and needed to keep mine smooth w/o any fancy maneuvers.) Dexter was my instructor and was very accommodating. (They also had me sit in the front of the van going up the mountain, due to my motion sickness) Its so worth every penny to experience this at 3000 ft. If you only do it at 1000 ft, you'll wish you had done the higher elevation. You get such an epic view of the city. Thank you to everyone at Proflyght for making our family's Hawaii vacation memorable! read more

So much fun!! Paul, Paul, Dexter they're all great pilots, very safe but casual and easy. Don't miss the best view in Maui!

So much fun! I was disappointed the 3000' line wasnt available at the time we were there, but excited to do it in December when I come back with a friend who wants to do it,too. Dexter was great!!! read more

My wife and I enjoyed it tremendously!! One of the most enjoyable things we did on the island. Do not hesitate. Dexter and Paul were kind, accommodating, and professional. It was an amazingly surreal experience that we will remember fondly...and do again when we come back to Maui! read more

Review for visiting pilots: Me and three buddies (all in our late 20's) decided to fly to Maui for a week of enjoyable paragliding at a new site. We are all P2's (around 25 flying hours & 50-80 flights). For the past year and a half, we have met such wonderful people in the paragliding community; People who want to grow the sport and share their knowledge about flying. Unfortunately, from the moment we stepped out of our car, our experience with ProFlight Paragliding left us frustrated and bewildered. Dexter, the person who runs ProFlight Paragliding, told us that he'd "cut to the chase" and be looking up our USHPA membership numbers so "we'd better not lie about being a rated pilot." We sat there perplexed that someone whom we just met would be so brash. We were consistently spoken down to, presumably because of either our age, where we were from, or perceived skill level. To his credit, Dexter did apologize after one incident where he aggressively told us to get out of a truck that was driving us up to launch. What was supposed to be a fun paragliding trip turned out to be very disappointing because of a couple large egos. read more

One of the highlights of our honeymoon. We are thankful that we did the 3000 feet. Dexter and Paul were incredible. I'm intensely scared of heights, but went along for my adventurous wife, but was never scared once. My wife and I both had wonderful experiences with friendly and helpful instructors who made the 12 minute ride feel as amazing as possible. The views of Maui were truly spectacular. read more

This was absolutely amazing experience! The staff was friendly and accommodating and the view was out of this world beautiful! We have been paragliding once before and this was a wonderful second experience. read more

There are not enough stars to say how amazing this was!! If you're considering it, just sign up right now!! I am a big chicken who is afraid of everything, and I have no idea why I signed up but I'm so glad I did! Dexter talked really calmingly to us in the car, explained that they have done thousands of flights over many, many years, and there was nothing to worry about. Once I got up there, I was so excited to see the beauty of Maui from above. It was my favorite sports experience that I have ever done. I wanted to sign up again for the next day but we were leaving and my friends were afraid we'd miss our plane, lol. I am 50 and not an athlete or an adrenaline junkie, but I honestly think this could be fun for anyone. And Proflyght is the very best company out there! I will be back for sure. Try it!! read more
