We had a great experience with Henry. He was very knowledgeable and extremely attentive. He was so patient while we waited for the wind to die down and we just enjoyed chatting and hanging out.

Highly recommend this activity! It was so much fun seeing the city from so high above. Great time and felt safe the entire time. The go pro was a great bonus too!
This was a really fun experience that my wife and I did. Andres does a great job on coordination and he's very good with communication. I've traveled to about 30 countries so I've seen a lot of tour guides, and I would no hesitate to use Andres again. We had never paraglided before but this was a TON of fun. The paragliding pros were very courteous and very professional. Would recommend
Our tour guide Laura was amazing! By the end of the trip we felt like we knew her for years. She also made us feel comfortable about Paragliding being that she’s done it over 10x! The staff there also make sure you’re safe, secured and that you feel at ease. They took amazing pics with the go pro that included videos! The view from the top is breathtaking!! It’s definitely a bucket list experience and I’m glad I experienced it. I recommend it 100%!!
Laura was very great and attentive. She took great pictures for us and was very helpful throughout the entire experience. The paragliding was amazing and I loved all the photos and videos I got from it.
Amazing experience and truly unforgettable. Laura, our guide, made it even better. I would do this again the next time I find myself in Medellin. Thanks Laura!
This was a great tour that I booked at the last minute. Our guide Andres from Medellin Day Trips reached out the day before to introduce himself and to go over possible weather conditions. He provided great communication, spoke english very well & was very professional. Any questions you may have concerning the excursion, or things to do/ see/ buy while in Medellín he’s willing to help. We had a great time and the two guys that assisted us (as this was our first time paragliding) were awesome as well! I give everyone 5 gold stars. We had fun, and can’t wait to bring the rest of our family back to experience this awesome tour.
Everything you could imagine when paragliding. I would suggest wearing pants and bringing bug spray. It was a great experience and would do it again 10/10! Sebastian was amazing.
This was an amazing experience, thanks to Andres! The weather wasn’t great in the morning but Andres was super communicative and kept me updated. A few hours later it cleared up and we were able to go! Fun, safe experience. Andres and his team went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. As a bonus, we learned a lot about the culture and history. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Also flexible, dropped us off at the metro station so we could cable car back. 10/10, highly recommend! Must-do in Medellin.
Everyone was very friendly and professional and well organized. Antonio is a great pilot and a very positive and safety conscious person. Laura was our driver ... very efficient and safe. She's very knowledgeable and helpful and a fun and funny person to be with.
I had an amazing time paragliding. Sara, the guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. During the drive to the location, I had nice conversations with her and she taught a lot about the city and had good recommendations. It was nice to have someone with deep English knowledge so we can learn from the city with her. She is full of energy and enjoyed her company very much. She was an attentive and safe driver too and navigated everything with ease. She was punctual and communicated with us throughout. Definitely ask for Sara when you book. The paragliding itself was professional and safe with skilled pilots. The GoPro pictures and videos were a nice touch and a nice souvenir. Thank you for the unforgettable experience. 🙂
This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my life. Totally recommend! You fly for about 20 minutes which is just enough time to really take it all in 😍 I also recomend adding the go pro package. Our pictures and videos were awesome. My flight crew, Antonio was very nice and kept me calm! The convenience of being picked up and dropped off can’t be beat. The driver, Esteban was awesome and gave us some awesome recommendations for things to do for the rest of our time in Medellin and Colombia!
I decided to do this experience on an impromptu basis following my coffee farm tour (through Medellín Day Trips)--our host was kind enough to provide transportation to the lookout spot at nearby San Felix where I did a 15 minute paraglide over Bello (adjacent to Medellín) and got incredible panoramic views of the city, with 360° camera/video footage provided for an additional ~$20. I was fortunate enough that the weather permitted me to do this activity (for those unfamiliar, there is a lot of sporadic rain), and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great outdoor activity just outside the city limits and is not afraid of heights!
Not only was our paragliding experience amazing, but our guide Andres was exceptional. He took the time to get to know us, tell us history and facts about the area, and was extremely accommodating with ever changing weather/other factors outside of his control. He made the experience extra special for us and we felt safe at all times in his company. Would recommend to anyone spending time in Medellin to book with Andres.
Our family did para gliding near Medellin. ANDRES Castiblanco is an excellent guide. He is very professional and has lot of patience to make it a good experience. This is an excellent tour for a family. We had a great time.
Andres was a wonderful guide. The paragliding experience is once in a life time experience and was very well organized. The trip was well worth the price. He accommodated us last minute and customized our tour to include what we wanted to see. Would highly reccomend it to anyone visiting medellin.
⭐ **Unforgettable Paragliding Experience in Medellin – A Must-Do!** ⭐ If I could give paragliding in Medellin 1000 stars, I absolutely would! This was hands-down one of the most incredible, exhilarating experiences of my life. I was initially nervous, especially being afraid of heights, but from the very start, the team made sure every detail was thoughtfully planned and communicated. Andres went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and prepared, explaining the process in a way that made everything feel simple and safe. His calm demeanor helped ease my nerves, and I could immediately tell I was in great hands. When I finally met my pilot, I felt an instant sense of trust – he was not only highly skilled but also friendly, professional, and reassuring. Once we were airborne, any remaining fear vanished. The views were absolutely breathtaking, beyond anything I could have imagined! Floating over Medellin, with the city and lush mountains below, felt surreal. The freedom, the beauty, and the perspective from above – it's like nothing else. It was a pure, magical moment, one I’ll remember for a lifetime. To top it all off, the photos and videos I received captured every thrilling second perfectly. Each shot is a vivid reminder of this unique adventure and lets me relive the experience again and again. If you’re considering trying paragliding, don’t hesitate – this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just looking to try something new, this is the perfect adventure to add to your trip to Medellin. Go for it – you’ll be so glad you did!
We had the most amazing time. Daniel our tour guide was fluent in English and very knowledgeable and kind. OMG the paragliding was awesome and the pilots were so experience. I would give 10 if it was a score.
My guide daniel was phenomenal. Very sweet attentive and caring! Made the experience way better! The hike up was alil bit of a workout I suggest a water bottle. The paragliding itself not actually scary it was beautiful and so peaceful and amazing a must do!
Erika was an amazing guide who promptly picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the takeoff point. She explained what to expect during our experience. We each had an incredible time souring through the sky seeing Medellin from a different perspective. We felt safe throughout the adventure. Erika followed up with us to ensure we had a great time. I would recommend paragliding if you e never done if before and to request Erika!!
This was my first time ever paragliding. Your girl is scared of heights, so this was really a challenge to myself. Sebastian and Antonio made a terrific team. As Sebastian drove up to San Felix, he explained to me a lot about the history of Medellin and the significance of many sites. He was even gracious enough to stop so that I could get a great panoramic view of the city, once we were up in the mountains. He even took some photos and videos of me as I prepared to take off for my flight. Antonio was a great pilot. He allayed my fear of heights, and was constantly reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. It's an experience that I'll never forget and that I will recommend to everyone :)
Antonio, Sebastian and Andres were great tour guides! This was my first paragliding experience and I went solo, they made it informative and fun and secure. 10/10 recommend.
I participated in the paragliding in Medellin experience. Esteban was my guide to and from the mountain and he provided a comfortable and very informative trip. He is a very good driver and provides information and history about anything that I had questions for. Once we got to the paragliding location he connected me with the flyer and waited during the experience. He also provided so amazing photos as we were walking back down. I would 100% recommend this experience.
Daniel was punctual, friendly, and a great guide overall. The views of the city were incredible and the whole experience was very positive.
10/10 we had the best experience on this paragliding. Everything was organized perfectly: great communication and updates through WhatsApp. Our tour guide Laura picked us up at the hotel and explained us the whole process while driving up the hill where we took off. While driving she also gave a lot of information and personal insights about the city. Once arrived, check-in and signing insurance papers was quick and before we knew, my son and me were strapped in and up in the air. That was an incredible adrenaline rush even though it felt totally safe. They also took care of making a go-pro video and pictures with their camera and selfie-stick that they then uploaded to my phone after we landed. Thanks and compliments to our guide Laura who then dropped us off at the hotel.
10/10 recommend this tour! Our guide Danielle was super helpful and had great energy. Once we reached the mountain for paragliding, everyone on the staff was very courteous and attentive. It was easy and so fun!! Smooth sailing (:
Highly recommend to book with this tour company as it was such a pleasant experience. From the day of booking, Andres from MedellinDayTrips confirmed via WhatsApp and explained everything about the tour and all information regarding the paragliding. This kind of event is very weather dependent. So on our schedule time/day - the weather was so/so, not perfect for paragliding but he was flexible with adjusting the time to wait out for better weather. Thanks for this.. As we had only 3 days in Medellin to paraglide. On the tour we got a ride to the paraglide start area accompanied with nice conversations from Andres. The paragliding area itself is busy with other tour companies as well.. but what stood out most for me with MedellinDayTrips is the well organised transportation, the communication, and kindness of Andres. So overall - I recommend to book through him! I had a blast in the air & got great on land videos plus GoPro footage in the air to remember the memory!
Amazing experience and very friendly people. Trained professionals who explain things clearly to you and have a fun time with yoh
Absolutely impressed with our paragliding experience led by Daniel! His knowledge and expertise made the adventure unforgettable. Daniel is not only an excellent guide but also a very pleasant person to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a fantastic paragliding experience.
Excelente experiencia; quiero regresar y traer a mí niña a que volemos otra vez. Excellent experience; I want to return & bring my daughter to fly again with us
We had an amazing experience paragliding. Andres texted us the day before to coordinate our pick up time. Luckily we were able to be flexible and move the time up an hour and a half to avoid the rain. Our driver Juan Zea arrived promptly and was waiting for us outside the morning of our trip. His car was very nice and clean. He was charming and spoke perfect English. We chatted the whole car ride which was approximately 55 minutes. He told us about the neighborhoods we were driving through and gave us ideas for other activities we should do in Medellín and Colombia. When we arrived in San Feliz he accompanied us up the stairs and helped us get checked in and communicate with the pilots. They gave us time to use the bathroom one more time before flying (the bathroom cost 1000 pesos). We were strapped in and in the air within 20 minutes of arriving. It was exhilarating! The views of the city were incredible. They provide go pro footage the entire time and the quality of the photos were really good. The pilot told me to move the go pro around to get different angles. You are in the air for approximately 20 minutes. The entire time I felt safe. They were very efficient and had excellent communication. I wish we would have gone sooner in our trip because today was our last day. If we had more time I would have gone again.
This was an amazing experience. Everything about the experience was perfection. This was my first attempt at paragliding and I certainly picked the right company. Daniel the guide was awesome, he was friendly, personable and just really wonderful to work with and the pilot was amazing. I had a great time and this was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Medellin ! I would highly recommend working with this company.
I booked this excursion for my husband's birthday. From the great communication prior to the excursion, to our very friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver Erika, and finally the very experienced and pleasant pilot, everything was wonderful! We initially weren't sure if we would be able to go forward with parasailing given the weather. But Medellin Day Trips kept us updated on the weather until we had success. My husband had a wonderful time and absolutely loved the experience. We have lots of pictures and video from the GoPro which is an added bonus. I would recommend, not only this excursion, but also this company.
Andres was the upmost professional and helpful guide I've ever been with. He showed up on time, has a great sense of humor and tell amazing stories. Now, the paragliding experience is something you have to do atleast once in your life. The closest thing I can compare it to is a roller coaster but multiplied by 5. The liftoff and the first 5 minutes in the air are the most terrifying but afterwards, you'll calm down and enjoy the breathtaking view of Medellín from the clouds.
10/10 experience, we had an absolutely amazing time. Sara was wonderful and so knowledgeable and the pilots and rest of the team were great. Clear instructions and wonderful communication start to end. Photos/videos were downloaded to our phone immediately. Can’t say enough about this tour it was perfect!
This was an unforgettable experience! Sara our driver was amazing, she was so knowledgeable and gave us many tips for our stay in Colombia. The paragliding guides were great as well, I felt safe the entire time! Would recommend this service to anyone looking to make some amazing memories in Colombia!
Wow this was an absolutely perfect experience! Sara picked us up at our hotel and she was so knowledgeable and kind, we learned loads about Colombia and the culture on the drive up and back. The paragliding itself was seamless and our guides were super professional and fun. The views were breathtaking and we got our photos uploaded to our phone immediately. 10/10 experience this was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done!
Juan was a great guide! He picked us up from our place and gave us a whole history of Medellín during the ride. The paragliding was amazing. Highly recommended!!!
From the moment we were picked up by Juan to being taken airborne by Antonio, we had a great experience. The views were incredible and the whole experience was seamless and smooth. In the air for about 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend!
This experience was excellent from start to end! Two friends and I were picked up at our hotel with a guide who drove us to our destination (about 1 hour away); there was communication via WhatsApp beforehand and everything was very easy. The drive up to the paragliding location was beautiful. Once at the top our guide helped us prepare for the experience and we did not have to wait more than 15-20 minutes. The views were spectacular and everyone was so nice. The paragliding itself was incredible! The pilots are very experienced and do an excellent job. When we all finished, we got some food and drinks at a café at the top of the mountain. Also, if you're a dog person, there were so many sweet dogs around. I personally loved this. Our guide drove us home and we were dropped off at our hotel. Special shoutout to our guide and driver, Daniel! He really made it the total experience! He knew so much about Medellin and was so friendly and welcoming.
Amazing experience! Juan is fabulous! 10/10 would recommend/do again! Hugely professional establishment
From start to finish we had a wonderful experience. Juan our driver/tour guide was the best he was super friendly and knowledgeable about Medellin we learned a lot on our way to the paragliding - the and the surrounding areas and he always looked after our every need. Thank you so much! The paragliding experience itself was incredible. The exceptionally professional team made us feel safe the entire time. 10/10 would recommend - we loved it!
The experience was wonderful as everyone was so kind. Also our driver Juan was the best! Paragliding was definitely a fun experience!
This was an amazing paragliding experience . This was my first time and it was just amazing. The area is clean and safe, efficient and the paragliding itself left me in awe. I love that we were able to capture it all. My guide/driver Juan made sure the trip was safe, fun, and patient. My paraglide instructor was professional and patient and gave clear instructions on what to do. I'd hoghly recommend this company.
First time paragliding and they made it super easy and fun! Our guide was very nice and friendly, would recommend!
Laura was our tour guide! She was absolutely perfect! I recommend her ☺️ she drove us there and back and made sure we were doing well throughout the whole experience! Highly recommend paragliding as well!
First time as a family visiting Medellin, our children are 7, 14, 16. We did ALL of our tours with us company and were paired with ERIKA, ask for her if she is available, she knows everyone in town, provides elite service and becomes one with your family for any trip you are lucky enough to have with her. On to the paragliding - what an amazing experience, the staff have been flying in this location since they were little kids, felt safe, comfortable, while in the air, just WOW, birds are truly free animals, felt closer to God up there, amidst cascades, lush mountains, buffered by clouds 🙏🏽❤️ Erika took all videos of take off and landing and they are hilarious! We did a go pro which caught other funny moments as well! But also caught the beauty that is Cocorná ❤️ Just Book! You won’t be disappointed!
1st class day paragliding the transport was in constant touch all morning till we had the best weather to do the flight was definitely worth the wait
This was the second tour my fiancee and I took with Andres. Choose his company over others! Andres is a nice, funny, and kind guy who not only took us paragliding (as planned) but also took us to try some local food afterwards before his next tour. The paragliding was beautiful and it felt extremely safe the whole time.
Great experience paragliding in Medellin. None of us had been before, and they made us feel totally safe and comfortable for the whole process. The trip started with our driver, Jorge, picking us up outside of our AirBnB. He was on time, super friendly and knowledgeable, and gave us a smooth ride. Once we got there, there was a short waiting period before flying. The actual flight was phenomenal - unrivaled views of Medellin. My flight ended up taking longer since the air was a bit cold and it was harder to get enough lift to fly back to the landing area, but they didn't charge extra or make any kind of fuss. Super easy, fun experience that I'd recommend to anyone visiting Medellin.
