    First Paraglide experience

    Great experience and very knowledgeable. First timer for paragliding but felt at ease. Highly recommend Claude!!!

    Response from the operator: It was good for me to have such a great copilot and I hope you will bring your friends and family next time! www.MalibuParagliding.com

    Gliding thru the Malibu Hills

    This was an amazing experience and that's why I give it 5 stars and flying over the hills of Malibu down to the beach with my daughter and I was truly memorable. There's a couple of caveats in there as if you take an Uber to the meeting point you will then need to take another one to the top of the hill/take off point with Claude the instructor. It's not a big issue but something that isn't on the details page. Claude is a good guy and has plenty of experience and has been flying for decades and being a former engineer he has a great attention to safety detail, and with that has a quirky personality that takes a few minutes to get used to. All in All, we had a great experience and enjoyed every minute. Lastly, post-glide u can take a nice 20 min stroll to Malibu Farm Pier Cafe for a well earned Acai bowl and a coffee.

    Response from the operator: It was fun for me as well especially because you were such good copilots :-) Hopefully see you again www.MalibuParagliding.com

    A seat with a View...

    Takeoff was the most daunting part. Once you're airborne, the view is awesome & the breeze feels great. Very smooth flight. Wish it lasted longer. Might come back for more.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the review Bruno. I often take passengers close to 2000 feet higher than where we take off and can make flights last a long time. The day you flew was not as good as it often gets.

    Excellent instructor with tons of experience.

    The weather was not suitable to glide - thick cloud cover. so Claude has arranged for my friend to meet him on another day when there is no cloud cover. Luckily he only lives 45 mins away in MDR. Again a very positive meeting and looking forward to trying again.

    amazing

    What an amazing pilot. he has a bird-like ability to see thermals and made my multiple flights with him exciting and at the same time, landing like butter. Afterwards I bought a used set of wings and harness and paid him to teach me. This guy is a gift to los angeles

    Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $320 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malibu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Malibu is not rushed.

    Is Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malibu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu?

    +

    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 Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu?

    +

    Around 12 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 Malibu 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 Malibu and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tandem Paragliding flight with instructor in Malibu 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 Malibu 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 Malibu?

    +

    Malibu, CA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Malibu by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Malibu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Malibu: Guided Vineyard Hike with Photo Stops and Wine, Scenic Malibu Overlook Electric Bike Tour for Beginners, Malibu Wine, Food & Beach Tour. 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 Malibu?

    +

    Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Malibu, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. 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 Malibu?

    +

    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.
