Hang-gliding - Hang-gliding with Assad was really great! We had to wait until the wind got better but then I got some great views and support during the flight!

Too Overbooked - We booked for both of us for a 9am flight. But apparently, they don't update the website and when we went there, they were out of pilots and couldn't take us. And then they said that they can't take one of us because of weight. The website mentions that upto 95Kg can fly, but when we went there, they could only take up to 75kg. And then they were pressuring us to do paragliding instead of hang gliding. Finally one of us got to hang glide, which was good.

Serious mix up and failure to communicate between viator and the tour group - The contractor canceled this activity and said that viator never should have scheduled it. Since I scheduled it the same day, I could not cancel it through viator without agreeing to not receive a refund.
