Air · Paragliding
Run three steps. Then fly.
Tandem paragliding is the closest you'll get to being a bird. You sit in a harness with a professional pilot behind you, take a few running steps off a hillside, and ride rising air over valleys, lakes and coastlines.
- No experience needed
- Usually 20–40 minutes in the air
- Tandem with a professional pilot

Air · Hot air balloons
Float at sunrise. Land with a toast.
Balloons launch at first light, when the air is calm. You drift with the wind over landscapes that look unreal from above, from the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia to the African savanna, usually for about an hour, then celebrate the landing the traditional way.
- Sunrise flights
- About an hour in the air
- Gentle enough for most ages

Air · Helicopters
Doors off. World below.
A private helicopter takes you where roads don't: a picnic on a glacier, a landing on a mountain ridge, or a low, doors-off flight along a coastline you'll never forget.
- Private charters
- Doors-off flights
- Glacier and mountain landings

Land · Rope jumping
Step off the edge. Swing out over the void.
Rope jumping is free fall without the bungee bounce. You step off a cliff, bridge or tower, fall for a few seconds, then a climbing-rope system catches you and swings you out in a huge, smooth arc. It's one of the purest adrenaline hits there is.
- Rigged and run by an experienced crew
- Bridges, cliffs and towers, always with permission
- Usually from age 18, with weight limits
- Add a camera to film your jump, from the step to the swing
Land · Canyoning
Rappel, slide, jump. Repeat.
Canyoning means following a river down through a gorge: rappelling waterfalls on a rope, sliding down natural rock chutes and jumping into deep, clear pools. Routes range from easy family days to serious technical descents.
- Wetsuit, helmet and harness included
- Beginner to technical routes
- You need to be comfortable in water
Philippines · Cebu

Jump, slide and swim down a jungle canyon that ends at Kawasan's turquoise falls.

FAQ
Experience questions.
Do I need any experience?
No. Tandem paragliding, balloon and helicopter flights, and beginner canyoning routes are made for first-timers. Professional pilots and guides handle the technical side; you follow their briefing and enjoy it.
Are there age and weight limits?
Yes, and they vary by activity and country. Rope jumping and skydiving usually require you to be 18, and most activities have weight limits for safety. We confirm the exact rules for your trip before you book.
What if the weather is bad?
Flying and canyoning depend on wind, rain and river levels. We build spare time into your plans, and if an activity can't go ahead safely, we reschedule it or refund it as set out in our Terms.
Is rope jumping the same as bungee jumping?
No. A bungee cord stretches and bounces you up and down. In rope jumping, a climbing-rope system is rigged so you free fall and then swing out in a huge arc, like a giant pendulum.
Can I combine several experiences in one trip?
That's our favorite kind of trip. Tell us what you want to try, and we'll plan the order, the travel in between and the rest days.
