Parasailing in Sapa: Acrobatic Flips from Hàm Rồng Top

Launch from 1750 meters, soar above Fansipan Peak, land with a certificate and GoPro video

Parasailing in Sapa launches from Hàm Rồng Top at 1750 meters, Vietnam's highest take-off point, where you fly tandem above Fansipan Peak and the Hoàng Liên Sơn mountain range. Certified pilots can perform acrobatics and flips on request. The experience includes hotel pickup and drop-off, GoPro footage captured during the flight, a personalized flight certificate, and a souvenir gift. Duration is approximately two hours.

The experience

Hàm Rồng Top sits at 1750 meters, the highest paragliding launch in Vietnam, and the flight itself is what you're paying for. A tandem jump where you're harnessed to a certified pilot who handles the equipment while you experience the altitude and the view. After hotel pickup in Sapa town, you're driven to the mountaintop, given a safety briefing, and sent airborne directly above the legendary Fansipan Peak and the dramatic valleys of the Hoàng Liên Sơn range, famous for terraced fields and cloud formations that roll between the ridges.

For thrill-seekers, the pilots are trained to perform acrobatic flips and dynamic turns mid-flight. You can request this at booking if you want the adrenaline rush. A GoPro camera records the entire flight and is handed to you on landing, so you have footage of what you saw from the air. The flight itself typically lasts the better part of two hours from pickup to landing.

After you touch down, you receive a personalized flight certificate and a souvenir gift. The round-trip transfer is included, so the only logistics you arrange is being ready at your hotel at the agreed time. Children from age 6 are welcome, and the activity suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with cardiovascular concerns.
