Soar 680 meters above sea level over the rolling scenery of Hualien in Taiwan through this incredible paragliding experience. Out in Huadong Valley, known for its scenic views and perfect paragliding opportunities, you can enjoy up to 15 minutes of flight. See the Coastal Mountain Range and its peaks to one side, with the Pacific Ocean shining all the way to the horizon on the other side.

Review for: Paragliding experience

I heard that the earlier the departure, the more stable the wind direction, so we made an appointment for the event at 8:30 in the morning, and there was a Gopro to record the whole process, which is very commemorative. During the process, the coach will arrange some more exciting actions according to your situation. It is very interesting to dive down with G force or turn down quickly in a circle, etc., and the scenery overlooking the mountain from above is really beautiful. Come to Hualien to experience gliding The umbrella is more fun and interesting than imagined XD This experience activity is very convenient to purchase on the klook platform, and the price is also very cost-effective, and new households only need to enter 2N85A to buy, and there is another 100 yuan discount.

The feeling of soaring in the sky is slow, hovering higher than Taipei 101, the wind on the whole mountain is scented with betel nut flowers, an incredible Taiwan experience

Location is very out of the way and it’s better if you can book a taxi for the day ($3-4k) and do other activities including paragliding. If you don’t want to spend the money, then you will waste a lot of time waiting for public transport like we did - we wasted half the day just waiting, there’s nothing to do at wanrong station and the paragliding experience only lasted for 5-7mins so it’s a lot of time wasted just to travel there and back. There are other paragliding locations much nearer to Hualien city centre that is not available on Klook, we highly recommend that you ask your hotel accommodations staff for paragliding recommendations nearer to your area instead. For the paragliding experience itself, it’ll be novel if it’s your first time doing it. Otherwise it may be slightly underwhelming even though the views are pretty because it’s so short a duration. It’s also a very small quiet spot so not a lot of people do this activity due to price, there is little festive vibes but pros are that you don’t have to wait and you get the whole view for yourself. There is no signages there, just literally you and the guide setting up and running off the cliff You must make sure to wear long pants because if you don’t run well, you will scrape your entire leg on the grass and there’s not much they can do besides sanitise. This happened to me and I have all these scars on my legs and I wish I wore the right attire for this activity.

I check in at 10:30, but I have to decide when you can fly based on the number of unflying guests at the time; I did not arrive until 1 pm. Therefore, it’s best not to arrange other itineraries on the day, so as not to affect it. Gopro recommends the purchase ($500/person). The extended grip can be used to capture many angles. The video photos are sent to you directly after the end of the return. Remember the phone capacity It is enough to reserve more than 3GB. Before taking off, you can confirm with the instructor that Gopro is in the process of recording. Mine was flying for 3 minutes before I realized that it was not recording! ! ! In order to compensate me, I flew for almost 20 minutes. According to the different physical conditions of each person, I myself feel dizzy and nauseous, but the scenery is really great. After the flight, it turns overcast and there are afternoon thunder showers, so everyone should try to arrive early. Early row, early flight! There is no trick, that is, you must always run forward at the start. If you are uncomfortable, you can look into the distance and take a deep breath. Finding a coach to race is also a good way to relax. For the first experience of flying with an umbrella, you have to fly to the sky on National Day and overlook the beauty of Taiwan. Very meaningful! Recommend Mingli Umbrella to everyone~

Review for: 【限時優惠】花蓮滑翔傘飛行體驗

We made an appointment at 9 o’clock in the morning. The weather was super nice. I was very nervous when there were two eagles flying XD together, but the instructor would give you a sense of security. During the chat, we must follow their instructions. And keep telling jokes to eliminate your tension. After flying out, the instructor’s skills are of course nothing to say. The flight is steady, and you will have a bird’s eye view of the beautiful scenery. You will also be asked if you want some exciting actions, such as swinging (experience weightlessness). The video, not only the beautiful scenery in the sky, but also the takeoff and landing can be photographed, which is super commemorative.

It rained on the day of booking and we did not allow flying. We made an appointment for the next day, but it was not ideal. The coach was very good and tried hard to find nearby attractions and restaurants. I hoped that I could wait for good weather to fly, but it didn't work. Finally, the sun finally came out on the third day. Thank you to the coach for helping to check. The train and bus flights can arrive smoothly and the flight experience is very fun. I will try it again next time I have the opportunity.
