Want to Try Paragliding? Here’s Where to Go Near Metro Manila
Paragliding is among the most accessible of extreme sports. While a professional pilot needs to be aware of the surrounding variables – terrain, wind speed, and wind direction, to name a few – leisure adventurers are free to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Though not technically mainstream in the Philippines, there has been growing interest among tourists and locals alike. If you’re looking to try it for yourself, here are some paragliding schools and pilots that can help you achieve your goal of reaching for the skies – literally.
High5 Paragliding
High5 Paragliding is among the more well-known paragliding organizers in the Philippines. For only P3,000 on weekdays and P3,500 on weekends, laypeople are invited to take to the skies with professional pilots. The best part? High5 Paragliding is available in a variety of sites from Cardona in Rizal to Carmona in Cavite. If you message them ahead of time, you can also secure a harness for your pet and fly with your pup!
