Location:
Located at the popular Whale Harbor Marina next to their 3 great restaurants, and numerous other charter & watersports businesses. We operate daily, weather permitting. Reservations are recommended, but we are happy to accommodate you if you just walk right up. The string of islands known as the Florida Keys is surrounded by the sparkling turquoise waters of the Florida Bay and the Straits of Florida, lush tropical foliage, meandering waterways among the mangroves, and a patchwork quilt of spectacular homes and canals make for unforgettable scenery here.

For those who wish to continue their personal quest into the wild blue yonder, Paradise Hang Gliding, Inc. offers a comprehensive package of USHPA Certified Instruction & Flight Training.
We are proud to be the only operation in Florida offering year-round tandem instruction over the safety net of soft saltwater.

Let’s Go Flying!
Beginning with your introductory Adventure Flight, when you get the itch to take hang gliding lessons, we have the tools and know how to provide continuing education. Ground school and home study begin the knowledge development segment, then subsequent tandem flights will be taken with the student in the pilots harness, and the instructor in the second harness.
All equipment, training materials, protective gear, and on-site refreshments are included. Our equipment is all new and state of the art. Each student is fitted with a helmet, a custom harness, kneepads, and eye protection. Also included, at no extra charge, is a 30 Day Membership into the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association.
