Vietnam’s Paragliding Ecosystem

At FlySapa, we’re proud to be part of the May Paragliding ecosystem, which spans the full journey of a pilot: from the basic training school in Lương Sơn (Hòa Bình), to the intermediate flying site in Hải Tiến (Thanh Hóa), and finally the advanced performance site in Phước Tân (Phú Yên).
We are also the exclusive distributor of GIN, one of the world’s most trusted paraglider brands.

ABOUT FLYSAPA

FlySapa was founded by Trần Hoàng Kim, Southeast Asia’s #1 ranked pilot since 2019. Our journey began in 2018, when we carried out extensive technical surveys in Sa Pa. After years of careful preparation and a rigorous licensing process, FlySapa today operates with full technical, legal, and professional certification — bringing you paragliding experiences that are safe, comfortable, and unforgettable.

​

From the very beginning, we’ve been warmly supported by the local community and government. We love this land deeply, and we want to give something back — a unique adventure experience that adds a new splash of color to Sa Pa’s already vibrant landscape.

​

But FlySapa is more than just tourism. It’s our way of sharing the sport we love most. We believe everyone should have the chance to feel the magic of flight — to spread their wings, soar above the valleys, and maybe even be inspired to join the growing, dynamic paragliding community here in Vietnam.
