OMGeee!!! - I was terrified. But it was the best, most exhilarating time I've ever had. Do it even if you're scared. And don't forget to get the video as proof! You won't regret it!

HORRIBLE!!! - Due to a medical emergency I was hospitalized on the day of the hanggliding appointment and despite an in-time cancellation by my wife several hours in advance and requests in German (the language of the owner) and English (the language we communicated all other details upfront via whatsapp) they did not show any compassion or even refund or voucher. Do not recommend them because of lack of customer service.
