Things to do in

Malibu

Fly on a large paraglide with an instructor and enjoy the comfortable first-class seat above the beach, ocean, and foothills. Admire the breathtaking views and keep an eye out for whales, dolphins, rays, sharks, deer, mountain lions, hawks, vultures, and other fascinating wildlife. Ride thermals with hawks and vultures, and spiral down over the Pacific Ocean – you will love it! You will take off from the beach or the 3,000-foot mountain top. This involves running a few steps, usually under 20. Your landing is easy after stretching your legs and leaning forward as you land on the soft sandy beach. The tandem paragliding flight is very gentle but for the more adventurous of you, it can be made more extreme if you want it to be.
