Tandem paragliding in Funchal, Madeira (2023)

Amazing

That the heigth will scare me!

Good weather and brilliant views. Its just fun

Einfach nur geil. Kann man nur weiterempfehlen.

Beautiful, fun, very calm and quite relaxing!

I signed up my son for his 17th birthday along with three of his friends. They absolutely loved Paragliding!

Very relaxing activity with a little bit of adrenaline! The team was amazing and very kind. They also told us a little history about Madeira.

Super activité, c'étais génial

Great experience to explorer Madeira from another (different) point of view

Tolles entspanntes Erlebnis.

Piękne widoki na ocean.

Me and my husband both thoroughly enjoyed the paragliding. It was incredibly relaxing and the take off was nice and smooth with good instructions.

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.

Amazing experience and amazing people!

The activity was great. The instructor tells you about the island during the flight and during transport to location.

Zeker en vast de moeite waard!

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.

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

We where all very nervous on the day of but the take off and flight where extremely comfortable, easy and something that was so wonderful we will never forget it.

Baptême de parapente à Madère

It was not easy to find a good place to fligh on our scedueld day. Because of the dificult weather condition. So Alicia An Rui did all The best The could to give us this great experience.

Une activité exceptionnelle avec une vue incroyable ! Un moment superbe et paisible dans le ciel !

Activity was really great and well organised! The wind was not so great but because of this I got another flight offered later in the evening for free to go another time!

No lo habíamos hecho nunca y nos encantó! El paisaje es precioso y la experiencia increíble. Repetiríamos sin duda!

Rui and Alicia gave us a very pleasent experience. They are very nice and the communication and instructions were very good! Thanks again!

What a wonderful experience to fly above the cliffs and the sea. Amazing view over Madeira and an enjoyable feeling to fly while paragliding :)

Amazing experience on this island!

We had the best experience! It was our first time paragliding and we really want to thank Rui and Alicia! It made our trip to Madeira even more beautiful!

Activity was great an amazing was to see the island.

The feeling of being a bird flying in the air

It was an amazing experience!

Perfecto!!

Ça vaut le coup !

Genial!!

Génial pour un premier vol en parapente

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.

Vol en parapente prise en charge par Rui et Alicia

It’s a great way to see Madeira from a different perspective!Really beautiful!

We loved it, it was so much fun.

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.

A magical paragliding experience on the beautiful island of Madeira. We were very fortunate with the clear blue skies, desired wind, and warm temperature. It was my first-ever time paragliding and it will not be my last, that’s for sure.

It was so lovely to fly along the cliffs of madeira!

Very nice experience to see madeira from sky !

Super. Great experience

Magnifique vue, équipe au top :) vol parfait 😁 encore merci

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!

Amazing view & feeling to see the island from a bird perspective. Interesting talks about the environment and nature along the way! Absolutely recommended.

It was really great to explore Madeira through the sky and enjoy the view

It was super nice to do the paragliding. Definitely with the instructor we had. It was my first time and the people were very kind to me.

The flight was awesome! The take off and landing very smooth.

It was excellent, the view it’s beautiful, if you love the sky not afraid of heights you will enjoy every second ❤️

Overwhelming

Amazing!

Great fun. Rui & Alicia are very nice, warm people. We had to cancel on the first try because the weather was changing, but during the week they kept us in the loop about next opportunities.Flight was approx. 20mins, and was very beautiful!

The entire experience was amazing. It can be intimidating in the beginning, but Rui and Alicia will make you feel good and safe with their kindness. Rui and Alicia are very experienced, so even if you feel scared, they will help you pass the emotions. Thank you again for superb experience ❤️

I loved the paragliding. It is easier and less scary then expected. It's super fun and beautiful! Good be a bit longer though.

It was really awsome to do.

Paragliding

Paragliding in Madeira

It was our first time paragliding, and wow it was absolutely beautiful. The feeling it creates, free as a bird, it was simply amazing.

Flight was unbelievable, the view's incredible.

Paragliding

It was a great experience, I felt like a bird and I really saw a lot from the island. I saw plantages, the vegetation, the ocean and even waterfalls from above!

It looks like the Time is stopped while you up. Like you stopped the Time to take a look from the above, to think, to see your life from different perspective. This feeling is INCREDIBLE!

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! :-)

Les 4 vols se sont super bien déroulés.

Rui et Alicia sont très pros et sympathiques.

One word; AMAZING!! Beautifull mountains, sea, view!

Tandem paragliding in Funchal, Madeira

Rui et Alicia m’ont partagé leur passion durant toute l’activité de l’endroit où j’ai été récupéré, au vol et où j’ai été déposé. 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.

I had the best time paragliding and taking in the amazing views of the island.

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.

My first time paragliding was better than I could imagine!

I recommend this to anyone who appreciates beautiful views and loves the adrenaline

Paragliding madeira

Foi a primeira vez que experimentei e sem dúvida para repetir.

Very relaxing

It was our first time, really enjoyed it, it was our best experience in Madeira. Recommend it to everyone!

Parapente qui permet de découvrir une partie de l’île. Avec l’adrénaline de la discipline

The activity was great!! As the team! Really nice experience, I loved it!

Une expérience extraordinaire pour notre premier vol en parapente.

Just spectacular.

Tandem paragliding in Madeira

Volet en parapente était un de mes rêves. Ce n’est pas effrayant du tout. La sensation d’envol et pouvoir contempler les paysages de Madère vus du ciel est extraordinaire. 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.

tres bien organisé

Amazing

The wind has a big role for the activity. Had the experience twice to be able to take off and land because of the wind.

It was amazing!

Weirdly serene, must do!

It was amazing!!! We went to the mountains to check the weather and then boooom ! Let’s fly… it lasted around 20 min even if the weather was not as expected… highly recommended !!!

I really enjoyed the flight with Rui. Finally i got the sensation of a free bird flying in the sky !

It was our first time paragliding and so much fun, the views were breathtaking. We felt safe and supported and would definitely do it again. Anything we‘ll write here, will not come close to the experience, so go for it!

Paragliding on Madeira

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 :-)

Paragliding is a magical adventure and surprisingly not scary. I have been fortunate to have been tandem paragliding in a number of countries and Madeira is right up there with the top places.

Un super moment et une belle façon de découvrir Madère vue du ciel. Les instructeurs sont très gentils et disponibles. Je recommande !

The activity was fantastic, the flight was smooth and the views were magnificent.

A experiência de voo é espetacular.

We spent an incredible moment there. It was a first time for me and I would definitely do it again based on this experience.

Le vol était incroyable, les paysages sont à couper le souffle ! Nous avons effectué deux vols entre mer villages et falaises avec Rui et Alicia en toute confiance.

Best experience ever!Breathtaking, Beautiful and fun!

Le spot de parapente était très bien choisi en vu des conditions climatiques. Tout était parfait...Merci à Rui et Alicia

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.

On a adoré. Rui et Alicia sont vraiment des personnes adorables. Le vent n'était pas au rdv, mais tout le côté technique etc était la. Ils donnent le meilleurs d'eux même et ça se ressent . Merci encore !

Activité totalement conforme à notre attente, avec un atterissage sur la plage ! Top.

Ce fut un moment inoubliable, tout était parfait : la météo, le vent et surtout le cadre tout simplement magnifique ! Mille mercis Madeira Wings !

My first time paragliding and I loved it. It was a great experience

Une expérience unique dans un lieu magnifique.

So fun and actually relaxing

Great first flight with amazing views on Madeira North coast in Porto da Cruz!

Vraiment génial, le moniteur m’a mise en confiance et m’a aidé à surmonter ma peur du vide ! Un grand merci à l’équipe qui est aussi venue nous chercher à l’hôtel

Absolutes Highlight für jeden Flugliebhaber. Rui ist spitze

The paragliding and the whole experience was amazing!

We went paragliding near Funchal which was a fantastic experience. Rui and Alicia was very professional and friendly. Thanks from Anja, Kristian, Simone and Thomas. We will never forget this day :-)

We went paragliding with Rui who was highly experienced and very friendly.

The paragliding with Madeira Wings was fantastic, I fully recommend using this company for paragliding in Madeira.

Very excited

Exhilarating and gorgeous.

Cette sortie nous a permis de découvrir le parapente et Madère pour notre 1er jour sur l’ile.

Breathtaking experience

We can recommend paragliding in general and especially on Madeira and with these great people! Thank you!

Paragliding

It was and it will be my unforgettable experience in Madeira. I would recommend everyone to enjoy the incredible adventure. The view of the waterfalls from the air, OMG, it's great.

It has been an unforgettable adventure! Would recommend to anyone

Everything went smoothly! The flight itself was so amazing and breathtakingly beautiful! Could recommend for anyone!!

C’est génial le parapente, première fois et j’en referai.

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.

L'accueil est top belle rencontre beau vol. Merci pour tout.

Nous avons passé un super moment avec Rui et sa femme. Ils ont été rassurants et à l’écoute durant tout le vol. Nous recommandons à 100% les vols en parapente avec eux! Ils sont adorables et parlent très bien le français 😊

Une expérience incroyable, un moment intime et précieux avec la nature

It was amazing, the instructors were very friendly and I highly recommend it.

Amazing to just fly above the island in the quiet of no motor.

Organisation au top !les coachs très disponibles et aux petits soins .Priorité sur la qualité du vent pour un vol optimal

Paragliding

Madeira is the perfect place for this kind of activity with it's wonderful landscape.

Paragliding is just amazing!!! It is a great chance to forget about everything that is going on in your life. You feel free and easy and I can only recommend it! It is an experience for life.

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.
