Come to the stunning scenery of Soboba Mountain in Southern California for this one-day introduction to paragliding course!
Located just outside of Los Angeles, this beautiful spot is easy to get to and provides an excellent backdrop for our fun and informative day.
We will learn about kiting, which is the hardest, but most necessary skill needed in order to paraglide.
Kiting requires you to “build” your wings and get your muscles used to controlling the parachute above you. It is not an intuitive activity and therefore requires patience and persistence.
Once you have gotten the hang of this skill, everything else about paragliding will come more easily, which is why we will spend the day going over how to do this successfully.
Since you won’t be able to get out into the air by yourself after just one day of kiting, we will keep your spirits up by mixing in an assisted flight, which will leave you yearning to come back and continue mastering this exhilarating sport.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for your 1-day introduction to paragliding and build the foundation you’ll need to pursue this sublime and scenic sport!
If you like the look of this trip, but wanted something a bit longer, then we think you may enjoy our 5-day paragliding training course on Soboda Mountain!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
