Nous avons adoré notre premier vol en parapente. C’était fabuleux. De bons souvenirs, de beaux paysages, de belles sensations ! Je recommande vivement !

First time. A bit nervous but hindsight that was completely unnecessary. The staff was very professional and we were up in the air in no time. In the air it was really great. The pilot was very enthusiastic and made pictures and videos so that we can look back at a really great experience.

Really good fun, it's scary at the start but the instructors have so much experience and will help you through.

Fantastic experience

  • 5 / 5

My teenage daughters and myself too flight within a few minutes of each other. We took off from a private launch field on the top of a steep ridge overlooking the beach and Cefalu below. The view was stunning and we all felt very safe while exhilarated at the same time. I went first and we circled around gaining altitude until all three of us had launched. Then it was riding the thermals while enjoying the breathtaking views of the hills, beach and ocean below. The rig was very comfortable to sit in once you pushed yourself back into the seat. Be sure to do that very quickly after takeoff as its very uncomfortable to remain dangling from just the straps. We were up for at least 10 minutes, but could have been longer before our pilots headed down to the beach for a smooth, controlled and gentle landing. Hats off to Sicily Paragliding for such a top notch experience.

S’adapte à tous

Pour une première expérience en parapente, nous sommes vraiment ravis d’avoir choisi cette équipe. Les moniteurs étaient adorables et très joviales. Ils ont pris le temps de bien nous expliquer tout le déroulé du saut et surtout nous rassurer nous qui étions quelque peu stressé ! Si vous souhaitez avoir une montée d’adrénaline mais en douceur, nous recommandons à 100% !

Ça a duré un petit quart d'heure, un temps idéal pour sauter et Agatha parle anglais, ce qui est bien pour échanger. J'étais toute seule avec eux deux, on est allé tout en haut d'un vallon, j'aurai jamais trouvé seule ! De bonnes explications et Giuliano à pris mon sac avec ses affaires pour que je puisse continuer la visite une fois arrivée en bas.
