Wat een geweldige ervaring, van begin tot eind. De instructeurs genieten duidelijk van hun job en dit enthousiasme brengen ze goed over. Voor vertrek en tijdens de vlucht zorgen ze ervoor dat je je op je gemak voelt en daarbij geven ze duidelijke instructies. Veiligheid primeert, ze volgen het weer goed op en kijken alle materialen dubbel na. Een echte aanrader!

Paragliden op Madeira was een hele mooie ervaring. Het is bijzonder om het eiland eens vanuit de lucht te zien, met uitzicht op de bergen en de oceaan.
De begeleiding was duidelijk en ook erg enthousiast om je het eiland van boven te laten ontdekken, wat de ervaring extra leuk maakte.
Een absolute aanrader als je op Madeira bent!
