Really recommend this trip. Alicia and Rui are lovely and sweet people and will do anything to make the trip as great as possible. On the planned day the weather was not great. We tried to paraglide multiple times but unfortunately we were not lucky so we had to reschedule.Alicia kept in touch with us. We got a message the following day around 17:30 that the weather seemed to be good. We got to the location and within a few minutes we were ready to fly. We could not believe it! We flew with golden hour above the coast. It was a magnificent moment. The sun was low and you could see the banana trees, mountains and sea very clearly. Paragliding is not scary at all, actually pretty relaxing.We’re so glad we got to do the flight the second day, as the weather this day was so much better. Really recommend this trip, it’ll make your visit to Madeira really really special.

Man sollte mindestens einen ganzen Tag, bestenfalls zusätzlich einen Alternativtag, einplanen, da Paragliding wetterabhängig und das Wetter auf Madeira sehr wechselhaft ist. Bei uns hat es zu Glück am zweiten angefahrenen Spot geklappt, womit wir an dem Tag gar nicht mehr gerechnet hatten - man muss also etwas Geduld und Zuversicht mitbringen. Das Paragliding inklusive der einmaligen Aussichten ist es allemal wert.

Sehr schönes Erlebnis - flexibel sein

Das Paragliding war definitiv eines meiner Highlights auf Madeira. Man siehr sehr viel von der Insel.Die Vorabkommunikation hat sehr gut funktioniert. Paragliding ist extrem wetterabhängig. An meinem ursprünglich gebuchten Tag ging es leider nicht und wir haben nochmal geschoben.Am Tag des Fluges sah es zuerst auch nicht gut aus. Wir sind ca. 2h auf der Insel rumgefahren um einen geeigneten Spot zu finden. Dann hat es aber geklappt und war ein super Erlebnis.Da ich kein Auto hatte, haben mich Rui und Alicia aus Funchal mitgenommen. An dem Spot habe ich dann auf Sie gewartet, bis alle anderen gesprungen sind. Insgesamt hat die Tour dadurch 7h gedauert.Tipp 1: wer Paragliding machen möchte, sollte das am Anfang seines Urlaubes einplanen, sodass man noch genügend Optionen zum Schieben hat.Tipp 2: wer kein Auto haben sollte, der sollte sich an dem Tag nichts weiteres vornehmen, falls es doch etwas länger dauern sollte. Wenn man ein Auto hat, ist man deutlich flexibler und dann reichen auch die angegebenen 2h aus

An experience for all ages :)

The activity was pretty amazing. Isn’t scary like skydiving it is actually very soft and smooth. And the view is amazing. Depending on the wind the start is high or low. We started low and we fles higher with the wind next to amazing cliffs. When you are flying Ruiz tells you a lot of funfacts about the things you see.

With paragliding you’re always dependent on the weather and the wind, so we had to move to a different spot twice. However the spot that we ended up in was perfect and one of the most beautiful flights of madeira. We were so lucky. It was one of the most breathtaking activities that we’ve experienced on the island, we highly recommend it! You really feel like a bird just cruising over the mountain tops in the wind. It was an unforgettable experience.

It was very first time paragliding, so naturally was a bit nervous beforehand but Alicia and Rui very great in keeping my calm. The flight itself was really peaceful and the landscape from above was even more beautiful if possible. During our cruise Rui was pointing out some landmarks - kind of like a tour guide but not on land. 😀He also did a spiral done which was one too! 😍All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend to others!

Dies war mein erster Paragliding-Tandem-Flug und landet definitiv in den Top-Ten meiner "Best Memories"! Rui und Alicia sind nicht nur super sympatisch sondern auch super professionell. Beide sprechen hervoragend Englisch und haben vorab jeden einzelnen Schritt erklärt. Ich wusste vorher genau was, wann und warum passiert, was ich machen muss und warum ich das machen muss usw. So habe ich mich die ganze Zeit sicher und gut aufgehoben gefühlt, und das, obwohl ich eigenlicht ein Angsthase bin.Während ich auf die Rückkehr der drei (mein Freund ist zuerst geflogen) konnte ich ein anderes Team beobachten, welches mir weit weniger kompetent erschien, zumindest waren die Erklärungen weit weniger ausreichend, wodurch der Start auch sehr holprig war.Bevor Rui dann mit mir geflogen ist, hat er die wichtigsten Schritte noch einmal wiederholt. Der Flug selbst war unglaublich, ein tolles Gefühl!Vielen Dank Rui und Alicia! :-)

Juste parfait :)

Ce sont des personnes vraiment passionnés, sympathiques et qui vous mettent à l’aise. C’était ma première fois et ça s’est passé super bien. It was so amazing and beautiful to be in the air seeing the Madeira island her beaches, mountains and the view of the sea. It was a very good time. If you want to paragliding in Madeira, go ahead with Rui and Alicia.

Rui is in total control all you have to do is sit back ( literally ) and enjoy the scenery while concentrating on the go pro footage you wish to catch on your recorded video . The views are fantastic and you feel so safe , Rui will ease you simply into the take off and and landing so you will soon experience what it might be like for an eagle to fly ..... great experience.

Malheureusement mon mari et moi sommes sujets au mal des transports, et le mal de l’air n’a pas fait exception après 5min de vol. Si c’est aussi votre cas je vous conseille de prendre un médicament contre le mal des transports avant votre vol.

This was my first experience of paragliding and, while running off a grassy ledge into thin air 600m above the valley floor certainly required an act of will to overcome the fear factor, it then took only a few seconds for me to realise that I really was going to enjoy this very much indeed! We were in the air for around 25 minutes and enjoyed some breathtaking views despite the cloudy weather. The whole venture was undoubtedly one of the absolute highlights of my week in Madeira, and I would love to go paragliding again when opportunity permits :-)

Our flight with MadeiraWings was the highlight of our trip to Madeira. From being picked up in the morning to being dropped off in the afternoon Rui and Alicia were incredibly friendly and gave us a warm welcome to the island. Rui’s knowledge and experience of paragliding was evident from the start so we always felt in safe hands. We headed straight for the landing area to make sure it was clear and then headed up to our launch point. From our vantage point we were given a stunning view of the ocean glittering in the light, and as the glorious sunshine warmed the mountains, thermals began to rise. Our excitement built as we felt cool breeze rush past and saw birds gently floating through the air. I being lightest went first and was kitted out in warm clothes and safety gear. We were given instructions on what to do during take off and landing (Listen to Rui and Run!) and told how to operate the go-pro that we would be using to film our flight. All that was left to do was to strap in to the tandem harness and wait for right moment...The breeze picked up and on Rui’s mark I began to run! Before I knew it I was bicycling in the air as we were gently lifted up into the great blue sky. We soared up and out over the cliffs until we had gleaming ocean on one side and verdant Madeira on the other. It was a surprisingly relaxing experience, that gave me a new perspective of the world. Sweeping along the coastal cliffs with the seabirds was altogether surreal but the highlight for me was when we headed out over the ocean. Being able to only see blue sky above and blue sea below was liberating and made all the more thrilling when I was given a taste of adrenaline by experiencing a turn that sent us rushing down for a few seconds.After a smooth landing I was left with a huge smile and sense of satisfaction... we’d been in the air for an amazing 25 minutes! On the way home they were kind enough to take us to the Cabo Girão (Highest sea cliff in Europe) sky walk (2nd highest in the world) and even set us up with a friend of theirs to do a Jeep tour of the island. We both decided to purchase a video of our flight for a very reasonable €10 which was brilliantly edited together by Alicia.

Ce vol en parapente à été magique. L'île de Madere est un petit coin de paradis qui se dévoile encore plus lorsque l'on prend de la hauteur. Expérience à vivre sans retenue.

After picking me up at my place, I got a guided tour on the way to the flying spot. We checked different point for a best possible flight. I learned a lot about both the island and paragliding. The feeling and view was amazing and we went for a coffee afterwards.
