Paraglide Maui
Soar above Maui's stunning volcanic landscapes with Paraglide Maui's scenic tandem flight—an unforgettable adventure that offers panoramic views and pure exhilaration.
Paraglide Maui is a tandem paragliding operator based in Kula, Hawaii, offering guided flights from high-elevation launch sites on Maui.
Founded to share safe, motor-free flight experiences, Paraglide Maui runs certified-instructor tandem flights from 4,500 feet and from Mount Haleakala at 6,500 feet. Flights are offered for families, groups, and individual adventurers; no prior experience is required. Guests travel by scenic drive to launch points, complete a short run down the hill to takeoff, and soar in a controlled, tandem harness with an instructor. The standard "1 K" Flight features one flight from a 4,500-foot launch site and is tailored to first-time flyers and family groups. The "Double K" Flights package includes two separate takeoffs from 4,500 feet for extended airtime and varied views. The "Top Gun" Flight departs from 6,500 feet on Mount Haleakala and delivers bi-coastal panoramic views of Maui and neighboring islands, with options for photography and either calm glides or dynamic maneuvers. Safety procedures include tandem-certified instructors, pre-flight briefings, and motor-free flight operations. Paraglide Maui focuses on clear communication, professional equipment, and documented launch elevations to deliver predictable scenery and flight profiles. Booking options accommodate individual reservations and group outings. Paraglide Maui is transparent about launch locations, flight formats, and what to expect, helping guests plan for weather, camera gear, and transportation needs. On-site staff provide pre-flight instruction, harness fitting, and photo opportunities while maintaining safety standards; flights vary with weather and visibility, and schedules depend on daily conditions at Kula and Haleakala launch sites locations.
