Exhilarating Experience

The actual paragliding was so much fun. Not as scary as I thought it might be. The staff was great!!! Only issue was the meeting point was not very clear and I was having phone issues so it took my taxi driver to call and figure out where to meet.

Nice experience

Recommended, it is a nice experience, very safe. The price seems to me to match the service. I went with all my kids and we all threw ourselves

Response from the operator: Gracias por el comentario, el día estuvo increíble para volar, Gracias por realizar la actividad con nosotros.

I had contacted Viator...

I had contacted Viator the day before the trip to confirm the meeting point, as the only description given was the city and zip code and the representative told me to meet at two streets in the middle of nowhere. The contact information for the trip operator was also incorrect and when I spoke to them, they had no idea what I was talking about. As I really wanted to participate in this event, I decided to go to the meeting point. The day of the event I drove 30 min to the location and no one was there. I contacted Viator again and they alerted me that the company was no longer operating. Terrible experience.

BEST PARAGLIDING, Quito, Ecuador

Excellent Paragliding Family Activity. Two years ago I came with my kids and my sister and we were so happy. This year I went to Quito again and I called them again “PARAVOLAR ESCUELA DE PARAPENTE”. I was so happy to try again. Service and Safety was their priority. Pilots have a lot experience, also they are very friendly and take they take the time to explain step by step with out rush.

Ecuador Paragliding Quito: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

How much does Ecuador Paragliding Quito cost?

+

Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Ecuador Paragliding Quito take?

+

Plan for about 0.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.

Is Ecuador Paragliding Quito worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Ecuador Paragliding Quito?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Ecuador Paragliding Quito suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Ecuador Paragliding Quito?

+

Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 0.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Ecuador Paragliding Quito start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Quito?

+

On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Quito?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Quito?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
