I took my first course with Alex over 12 years ago and have flown with them ever since (we usually spend between 2 and 4 months in Spain every year), so over 260 flights to date. Alejandro and the other tandem pilots are all excellent - from piloting skills (essential), to ensuring you understand the process of taking off and landing. As important, is knowing when to fly, and when it is best to either wait for conditions to improve, or occasionally reschedule to another day. Safety is Paramount. Unfortunately some companies are more interested in making money, than client safety. I've seen a number of tandems flights when it has been dangerous, but they have still taken off with an unsuspecting client - who may have landed safely but had a bad experience !!! Airbourne Adventures (Alejandro & Carina) really is a "club". Everyone is made really welcome, regardless of whether you are doing a full course or a once in a lifetime tandem.

Alex and Carina who gave me my first lessons are excellent instructors with many years experience - they offer tailored instruction to suit the individual. They work at your own pace and nothing is too much trouble. We travelled to different locations in the local area and met some very interesting people. We also flew tandem as part of the course and felt very safe during the flight whilst being taught the basics of flight control. Airborn is highly recommended to any one who wants to learn this exciting hobby/sport. Adiós till next time......

I received this paragliding experience with Airborn from my girlfriend and was so excited to fininally fulfil a life long ambition of soaring through the sky. In many ways I didn't know what to expect and the day started with an organised pickup from the Airborn team in Malaga. They instantly put me at ease, were so friendly & supportive. This wasn't just an experience of paragliding, it was an experience of a lifetime. We drove to the national park mountains towards Granada with breathtaking views and stopped to meet the rest of the team. Again we were made feel very welcome and when we reached the launch point we waited for favourable weather... this can take time as weather and especially wind can be unpredictable. Alex explained that patience was key and to be honest I was delighted they took such care to make sure we were safe. The flight itself was breathtaking, we glided like a bird through the sky, got a live video to record it all before landing. The staff at airborn made this day a special one and topped it off by going above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the day. Many thanks Alex, Carina and the Airborn team for such amazing memories.

Carina and Alex were very well organised, very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I felt happy to trust them with my young teen paragliding for the first time. And what a great way to keep a teen happy!! 😁 Thank you!

We started with our paragliding licence in Germany but were very not happy with the school. With Alex and Carina we could finish it and now have our Andalusian paragliding licence! They took great care and we felt comfortable and safe at all times! Thank you for making us Baby-Pilots!!!
