About this activity
Soar above the Sea of Cortez on a powered paragliding flight with an experienced pilot, spotting marine wildlife including rays, sharks, whales, and orcas from a unique aerial perspective. This private one-on-one experience combines the thrill of flight with genuine wildlife observation, guided by radio commentary from your pilot.
Why not also experience the wonders of the ocean from the sky? With a powered paragliding flight, you can take to the skies like a bird and spot all the amazing sea creatures from the air. We commonly see schools of rays, sharks, orcas and migrating whales along our coastline flights. All our paragliding experiences are private one-on-one with knowledgeable guides explaining over a two-way radio what we are seeing in the ocean below.
After a short drive from Cabo San Lucas, we arrive at our dedicated paragliding site, where you will be met by our friendly staff. Once you have completed orientation on launch, landing and radio use we are ready to take off to the skies and to spot for marine animals.
It is very common to see jumping Mobula rays in schools of hundreds, sharks such as hammerheads, orcas and schools of tuna. From November to May we see almost daily migrating whales, some as close as 50 meters from the beach.
This one-on-one paraglide flight with the pilot is an exclusive experience that you will remember forever.
The activity is kids friendly and youngsters from 10 years old can join. There is no maximum age or other restrictions besides that you can do some light running/jogging for the launch.
Once in the air, sit back and enjoy the stunning views of the Sea Of Cortez while we look for marine creatures below.

November to May offers near-daily whale sightings as migration peaks; however, marine life (rays, sharks, tuna schools) is visible year-round. Early morning flights often provide calmer winds and clearer visibility for wildlife spotting.
