I was in faro for Afronation and booked this activity, I sent a message prior to the activity to join the group at portimao because they live there and I was also in portimao, the day of thr activity they just sent me an address and I spent two hours ordering uber and uber kept cancelling, finally my hotel called me a taxi and the taxi took 120e because it was such a long drive and he couldn’t find the location finally I got to the beach and Nelson sent another instructions to follow blue and green markings and I did , it led me deep into the forest about 1hr walk later found out I was lost and he was not sympathetic infect he was angry that I’m stressing him and he can’t fly stressed, I had to walk another 1hr and 20mins back down to the beach only to find out the direction was just right in the beach , if was organised someone should have been at the beach to take up the mountain as it can be dangerous for a first timer. The weather was bad he told me when I called him about my lost situation, he said don’t worry the weather isn’t even good so take your time, at this point my leg hurts and I still need to go to Afro nation, he wanted to me wait for thr weather till 4pm and I said no , yesterday was my original flight date but the weather was bad and today I already wasted the whole morning hiking in the mountains cause of unclear instructions. I left for portimao and I asked for a refund the wife Veronica lied that I didn’t fly because I wasn’t there at 9:30 I’m writing because of the manner they treated me no form sympathy if I had lost my life hiking a trail I didn’t know and tried to take my money without flying for weather conditions. I threatened to sue them hence they refunded but I’m not happy with the experience and won’t go back ever

It was such an amazing experience flying with Nelson. The location is amazing and Nelson and his wife Veronica made me and my family feel very comfortable throughout the entire experience. He is full of knowledge and passion for the sport and this just added to the overall enjoyment. Thank you Nelson and Veronica for a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Until next time…..
Nelson was amazing! Had a wonderful time flying with the whole family and enjoying the views of the ocean beaches and cliffs. We’ve been on several paragliding trips throughout the world, and this was probably one of our favorites!
Nelson is a true professional! His attention to all the safety aspects of everything involved is impressive and the experience was amazing!!! Wow!!! I will remember this the rest of my life!!! And Veronica was so helpful with all the details for the flight! I am truly impressed with Nelson and the entire experience! If you are reading this and can’t decide whether or not to do it—-I say put your fears aside and Go For It! It is an Experience of a Lifetime! Truly Incredible!!! Thank you again!!! Jim M.
WOW!!! What an experience! ...the sky, the ocean, beautiful colours, sense of freedom... an exceptional view and unique emotions Nelson is super-passionate of his sport and really kind and professional; it was really a fantastic experience
Sometimes everything seems to fall into place: the sunny weather, the dramatic landscape, a professional crew and a couple of teenage girls willing to fly over the Atlantic cliffs. Nelson is a rarity: both a top pilot as well as an entertainer and a great company! My daughters were so happy we might return with the whole family next year! PS: The GoPro videos were great!
Mom and I recommend Nelson & Veronica as well as paragliding to every person we've met in the two weeks since Nelson made us feel like we were floating on top of the world and Veronica made us feel so encouraged and taken care of. Nelson showed the utmost care and responsibility that the wind and weather conditions would be 100% safe for each of our flights (including the three people who went before us). His energy in the air was both comforting and exuberant, which made both of us feel completely carefree and enthusiastic. We will remember this experience for our entire lives. Thank you...obrigada!
WOW... words cannot express how grateful we are to Nelson for creating such an unforgettable experience for us. He is very well known in Europe as a top paragliding instructor and is even competing in the World Cup Paragliding each year! You are SAFE with him and its sure to be an epic experience that you will never forget. Nelson took my mom and uncle out and was very patient and calm to wait for the proper weather and gave them each the ride of their lives. The location is superb and one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Europe. You will not be dissapointed..go with nelson!
