Paragliding is a sport that gives you a sense freedom, euphoria and exhilaration. We launch from a hill or cliff and search for rising currents of air just like hang gliders do. Once in the air, we have freedom in deciding where we want to go, what kind of experience we want to have, and what we might want to see! Unlike skydiving or BASE jumping, there is no leap of faith. We become airborne once the paraglider is fully open.

The total cost of the experience is $198. We only collect a $50 deposit ahead of time. You pay the remaining balance after your flight.

We are unique in that we custom tailor our flights to you. Paragliding provides you with sensations other than what you’re used to on the ground. We want to land you right before those sensations become too much. For most people, this is around 30 minutes, but for others it’s a little more or little less.

Absolutely! We put safety ahead of everything else. At Elite Paragliding, we have amongst the highest safety standards in the industry. We select our tandem pilots very carefully and will only fly when the weather conditions are extremely safe. Aside from that, all our gear is tested and certified by an independent third party organization.

For groups of 4 or more, we’re able to fly multiple people in the air at the same time. Occasionally, this is available for smaller groups. Our flying site is gorgeous and all the other solo pilots (just flying as a hobby) are friendly. It’s usually quite fun to wait for your turn.

Elite Paragliding operates in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our primary launching site is just south of San Francisco. It’s 15-20 minutes from San Francisco. Your booking confirmation email will give you a specific meetup addresses. We will also text you the address the day before your flight.

In most cases, yes! Our instructors can accommodate just about anyone for a flight, regardless of your condition. As long as you’re between 60 lbs (27 kg) and 250 lbs (113 kg), we can fly you. If you’re above that weight, call us.

If you have a special medical condition or think you might need extra attention, give us a call at 1-650-735-2359.

Hellen Keller once said “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

We encourage you to get a taste of the freedom, peace, and euphoria that paragliding offers. Our moms have flown with us! If our moms can do it, so can you. It’s normal to be nervous before your flight. Hardly anyone is nervous once they get in the air.
