Boulder Free Flight - Boulder, Colorado

Absolutely phenomenal tandem flight! Perfect conditions, such an amazing experience.
Make sure to communicate with the instructor prior to arriving (text or call), not just booking online - otherwise you’ll arrive and no one knows about the booking or is contactable.
Boulder Free Flight did get me rescheduled, which led to an epic tandem. Definitely recommend!!

WOW!! Johannes was my instructor and he was such a positive person to be around! I wish our flight lasted longer because it truly was incredible! Praise God from who all blessing flow, ESPECIALLY JOHANNES!!!

My cousin and I booked this unforgettable experience for a girls day. We flew tandem with Miles and Johannes. It was an absolutely beautiful day, with perfect conditions. We flew with red tail hawks, spiraled and rose high above the ridge. I highly recommend booking your next adventure with Boulder Free Flight!

My wife and I rode tandem with Riley and Josh and had a blast! They were both very friendly and very knowledgeable of their craft! We also had a nice hike to the jump sight where the guys got some good candid photos of us and the beautiful back drop! Definitely would recommend to anyone !

This was the experience of a lifetime! Johannes is so knowledgeable and professional. I felt totally secure the entire time. He really worked to make sure I had the best experience possible. I am so so glad I did this. If you are considering giving it a try I highly highly recommend Boulder Free Flight.

THIS IS THE TRAINING SCHOOL YOU WANT! The BEST place to receive instruction on paragliding and obtain your rating. Their mentorship doesn't stop at the end of your P2 course. I can't thank them enough for the guidance they've given me. They go beyond just teaching you to fly a glider and deeper into the decision making that makes for a good pilot. The pilots that graduate from Boulder Free Flight are top notch and the instructors are why. And if you're looking for a tandem flight.....Johannes provides the best tours of Boulder, Colorado!

I joined Boulder Free Flight earlier this summer to learn how to paraglide. From the first day I showed up as a total noob, Johannes and the other instructors were kind, welcoming, and incredibly enthusiastic about the sport. After my first flight I was completely hooked, and I spent the rest of the summer working towards my P2 certification. Through the entire process I received constant individual attention and feedback that allowed me to progress safely at my own pace. And speaking of safety, this is Johannes’ #1 priority and it’s reflected in his stellar safety record. Even after I had finished my P2, Johannes has continued helping me grow as a pilot by providing me mentorship and instruction for my first thermal launches, site intros at new places, and as the organizer of international trips. When you learn through Boulder Free Flight, you’re not just taking a class, you’re welcomed into an amazing community. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

The goal is to fly safer every day! You will have a great head start to do that learning with Johannes and Dusty. These great pilots go above and beyond to instill that in every student. They will give you the basics in weather assessment, flight theory, and stoke for the sport. Take your P2 class or tandem flight from Boulder Free Flight. Period. Full stop.

Whether you’re looking to learn how to fly independently or take a tandem flight, Johannes is your guy! He is an amazing pilot with a true passion for the sport. The best instructors lead by example and Johannes and Dusty set that example every day through their incredible flying. They are not only great instructors but also great ambassadors for the sport and community. You will want to learn from the pilots accomplishing the most epic flights in the front ranges of Colorado. It is a privilege to learn from two of the best pilots in the western US.

I came to the Boulder Free Flight paragliding school with nothing but a strong desire to learn how to fly. Johannes and Dusty helped me build a mindset of safety and strong fundamentals. Paragliding takes a lot of effort and focus to perform safely. I felt very confident in the instruction I received and the focus on safety that was instilled within me.
