Aloha and welcome to Hawaii's #1 school for USHGA Certified Paragliding and Powered Paragliding instruction. Our school is located on the east side of the “Big Island” of Hawai’i. Our privately owned training and launch sites offer spectacular ocean views on soft, mowed grass. Powered flights take you over blue ocean vistas with waves breaking below and to gorgeous waterfalls just minutes from launch. Free flights from the tops of old volcano vents to our mountainside launch over one of the most beautiful bays on our island guarantee you the experience of a life time.
We offer a broad spectrum of services and products for students and pilots of all levels of experience. Our goal is to teach our clients all aspects of powered and non-powered paragliding with our main emphasis on safety and fun.
On your first day, the student pilot will learn techniques and skills needed to ground handle your wing, in other words, float a wing overhead and keep it there. Before the end of your first lesson, we guarantee to get you airborne.
For visiting or experienced pilots we offer an array of services such as powered and non-powered tours, mountain flying, thermalling, tandems and equipment rentals. Call us for site information and orientation.
So, come visit us to learn to fly like a bird in paradise or to go to cloudbase to witness the most awesome views in Hawai’i. Remember, shorts and tank tops required, year round!
Aloha, Kirk “Yeti” Deffebach, Island PPG Owner/UHSGA instructor.
