Here's what people are saying about Paradise Air!

Curtis

I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to weight shift aircraft flying with Denise on 6/5/06! Your patience in training and desire to share the experience went beyond my expectations. Thank you for the exhilarating experience. You folks run a very professional operation, keep up the good work!

Bob

Back in Texas now but still recalling our early morning flight. It was a great experience made even better with your "guided tour" of the North Shore. Especially appreciated your recommendations on places to eat. Breakfast at Jammeson's was great. Thanks once again for making our flight the highlight to my trip to Oahu's North Shore. You're the BEST!! Mahalo Nui Loa!

Doug & Leanne

We flew with you Mar 6 and received the DVD which was spectacular. We just want to thank you guys for a great experience. It was great to watch each other's flight. We will be back with our grand kids. Have a great trip to Venezuela and Angel Falls. It is great to meet someone living their dreams!

I thoroughly enjoyed my Ultra Flight with you Friday morning, what a perfect start to a great day. The lighting was beautiful and the company excellent, as usual. I can't wait to fly with you again, into the sunrise.

Jerry

I can't thank you enough for making my first ultralight experience so memorable! It was definitely the highlight of my trip to Oahu, and I'm really looking forward to going up again some time! And thanks for letting me fly pretty much the entire time. I really felt like I was soaring through the sky like a bird! Please thank Tyler also. Becca had a great time...although I think he's in a little trouble for not getting any coral shots (she's an avid scuba diver). We wish him luck in Alaska and wherever his travels lead him! What age is the youngest that you'll take people up? My friend and her family are thinking about going to Hawaii, and she has kids who are 9 and 11 years old (I think). I will be sure to sing your praises! Also, what other islands in Hawaii offer ultralight flights? And what are other popular powered hang gliding spots around the world? I have two weeks off in June and was planning on taking a trip with my family somewhere...so far Kauai, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica are on the potential list. Thanks again for taking such great care of us! It was probably the easiest reservation I've ever made and you were so helpful when I first talked to you. And I don't know anyone who gives such detailed directions as you do -- we really had no problem getting there even though it was before the crack of dawn and rainy. We also really appreciate all your recommendations about places to eat and places to go -- they were spot on! We met so many wonderful people in Oahu, but you truly were the nicest and most sincere. I applaud you both for packing up and moving out to Oahu to live your dream...and even more for sharing a little bit of that excitement with the rest of us! Mahalo nui loa, Meena

I would like to thank you for the best time I had in Hawaii flying with you. Flying the ultralight was a great experience and a outstanding flying activitie. I appreciate being able to take control of the wing. Denise, you now have me thinking of flying every day, I guess you have me hooked on flying, thank you. I plan on looking in Wis. for a ultralight made by Buckeye, as I said I had a Powered Parachute. Denise I will get some INFO on the EAA in Oshkosh as soon it's out. If you and Tom plan on taking in EAA this year you are welcome to stay at my home in Stevens Point, I will pick you and Tom up at our local airport and take you to EAA in Oshkosh. EAA is a week long, it is something like you have never seen before. I will let everyone know who is going to HAWAII that Paradise Air is a must do activitie. All I can say is WOW, Thanks. All the Best, Jerry PS I arrived in Stevens Point March 17th 2008, and in the mail was your wonderful CD. Thanks it turned out GREAT. Take care.

My name is Kyra Abramson and I came with the Buckley Family on Memorial Day weekend of this year. I am emailing you to let you know how much this family enjoyed your services and Eric our guide. He made us feel so welcome from the time we arrived (6 :30 in the morning) till the moment we left. I was the family member who did not take a flight in the Ultra light but just from watching the rest I was so excited. The pics and video that we got also were perfect and we will be watching them for years to come. My father in law says he wants to sell the mustang and get one. I also wanted to let you know about Eric .... very rarely do star employees get recognized for what they do. Eric was great he answered all of our questions, told us a wonderful place to eat breakfast and was always on his game. Even though I did not go up, he made sure that I was taken care of. If you ever need a customer review, you just send me the web site or email I will sing your praises! Thank you Paradise Air you made a Once in a life time memory for my family!

First of all, I would like to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for an absolutely wonderful experience. I have been a skydiving instructor all my life and have always loved aviation. I became a pilot in the early eighties and have always enjoyed flying. The morning of my first introductory flight at Paradise Air, I have to admit, I found myself a little nervous. After all I never have been in one of these Ultra light aircraft. However, I have worked with and acknowledge the vast experience of both Tom & Denise Sanders in the Parachuting Industry. Their methodical approach to details and attitude towards safety made me feel better. The next thing I know I was suiting up and getting ready. It was about six thirty, sunrise on Oahu’s north shore. Denise, (my hero), never missing a beat had our aircraft and gear all ready to go. After a few minutes of warm up for the engine I was flying, I mean was really flying. I strapped an aircraft to my body and for the first time I could go UP! The first thing I thought was, Wow! This is really cool. During the flight Denise taught me how to control the aircraft and made me feel very good about my progress. We did everything from swooping the heavens to buzzing the pineapple fields. From one Instructor to another, her approach, attitude and level of confidence was exactly what I needed. I was nervous for nothing. I was in good hands. Thanks to you guys, my first time in an Ultra light was great and I can’t wait to go again.
