Views
I came to Ecuador on a family trip from New York and decided to try the Paragliding Tandem Tour in Baños, even though I had never done anything like that before. It ended up being one of the best experiences of the whole trip. The views from the air were incredible—you can see the mountains, the town, and the surrounding landscape all at once. Our pilot was funny, engaging, attentive, and really made me feel safe the entire time. If you’re visiting Baños and want something exciting with amazing views, I definitely recommend this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful 5‑star review! We’re thrilled to hear that the Paragliding Tandem Tour in Baños became one of the highlights of your trip to Ecuador. The views from above are truly unforgettable, and it’s fantastic to know you enjoyed seeing the mountains, town, and landscapes all at once. We’re especially glad that your pilot made you feel safe, comfortable, and entertained throughout the experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
This was his first time hand gliding and my third time hand gliding, and we both had an amazing experience. You’re transported to the flying site and once you get there, you have nothing to worry about at all. The guides are very knowledgeable and also super helpful. They had a selfie stick for you to put your phone in and I was freezing cold and one of them even pulled out a coat from their bag to give it to me. They make sure you understand the safety measures and the instructions so you feel comfortable before and during the flight. The flight lasted about 15 to 20 minutes, which was more than enough time to overlook the beautiful view of Baños & beyond. I had an amazing time, and my brother has an amazing time. Whether you’re a beginner or expert, this is definitely a tour you’re gonna want to do in Banos.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing 5‑star review! We’re delighted to hear that both you and your brother had such a memorable time hand gliding in Baños. The views from above are truly breathtaking, and it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed every moment of the flight. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our guides. Their attentiveness, helpfulness, and thoughtful gestures—like making sure you were comfortable and even lending a coat—are exactly what we strive for. Safety and care are always our top priorities, and we’re glad you felt supported throughout the experience. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for more adventures in Ecuador! Warm regards, The Kajol Lavan Travel Team

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paragliding Tandem Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baños.
How much does Paragliding Tandem Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baños usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paragliding Tandem Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Baños is not rushed.
Is Paragliding Tandem Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baños, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paragliding Tandem Tour?
+
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 Paragliding Tandem Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paragliding Tandem Tour?
+
Around 5 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 Baños 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 Baños and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paragliding Tandem Tour 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 Baños 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 Baños?
+
On Outty we rank every Baños experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rafting Tour, Full Day Baths, The Best Extreme Canyoning -Cashaurco in -Banos Ecuador. 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 Baños?
+
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 Baños?
+
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.
