Probably the most unexpected and thrilling adventure in Hanoi

Great fun, especially if you have a spare day in Hanoi. The organiser is easy to contact, Yu Pi is very helpful. My pilot on the day was Thang, who was very easygoing and the flight was very fun

The experience was lovely, the scenery and weather were great during my visit. The pricing for the experience was also competitive as compared to other sites.

One thing to take note of is that some pilots are taking on bookings by themselves, so if you have a few people within the same booking timing. Some of you may travel up to the take-off area to wait as the pilot brings people one at a time on their flights. The take-off area is somewhat like an abandoned house. In my case, I had to wait for more than an hour at the take-off area initially with my wife and subsequently alone. I honestly enjoyed the time alone in the "wild" but I reckon that it might not be for all so do take note. 

Overall I love the experience, it was also my wife's first experience doing paragliding and she enjoyed it really much too.

Great day! Pilot was very pleasant. We will never forget this day. About 20-25min duration.

We didn‘t know we have to pay the driver up the hill extra. It was no problem but maybe tell before the next time.

When I was a child, I dreamed of flying to see the beautiful scenery from above. I even used to swing behind a car because I thought I could fly like Zezé in "My Sweet Orange Tree".
 Finally, at the age of 25 I can really fly!
 An unforgettable experience!
 Thank you "American professor" and team @Mebayluon Paragliding for helping me fulfill my childhood dream 😊
 Today I found the heartbeat of Mother Earth in the wind and my soul in the sky😊🪂

Thanks Mae (I hope I spelled correctly) and team. I had great fun! The whole process was smooth and fuss-free. The ride up the mountain was quite the experience too - don’t have a heavy meal before that.
 Just note that there is a fee for the transportation up, about 130K VND, to be paid at the location.
 I only wished for the ride to be a little longer but the weather conditions changed when it came to my turn. It’s nature, just got to flow with it 🌻 would love to try this again in a different season, it’s too cold now.
 Mae takes great pictures too by the way! Thank you for everything 🧡
