Skydiving

We had a great experience from the moment we went into the ijump office in Maspolomas. Agatha was very helpful and explained everything to us clearly. I met Seba who put me at ease with his sense of humour, my husband met Leo who also put him at ease with his humour and pleasant manner. We had no issue jumping out of a plane from 10,000 feet after meeting Seba and Leo. Thanks!

Dishonest Advertising, Rude Customer Service

The company significantly misrepresented the service it sold. We booked paragliding over the archaeological site of Delphi with an advertised flight time of 20-30 minutes.

The actual paragliding was not over Delphi and lasted just over 5 minutes. Manawa representatives offered a 20% refund, which we did not feel was fair given the circumstances. During the dispute, Manawa even changed the activity description in order to cover its tracks. One of the agents in particular, Sam, was particularly rude and dismissive.

I wrote a factual but negative review on Manawa's website, which they never published. It makes me wonder how many other unfavorable reviews have simply been silenced.

Manama's response below is a good example of their duplicity. I'd already communicated extensively with them and they didn't help. But for the heck of it, I sent them a follow up email after they posted here and asked me to reach out. They didn't reply. Their message here is just for show.

A great introduction to Via Ferrata for myself and my teenage daughter.

Manawa is very professional

I booked a horse ride in the sea in Tamarin, Mauritius through Manawa. The Manawa team acted professionally from learning about the details of the activity to booking and placing the order and following up on the details afterwards. The activity itself was fantastic and our family had a great time.

Money gone because of wrong information

Customer service is really worthless.
An instructor that is literally swearing to you in a WhatsApp message and when you want to refund they refer to their policy and are not willing to even consider their own part in the mess...
Watch out when paragliding: TRANSPORTATION TO DESTINATION IS NOT POSSIBLE!!!! You have to arrange it yourself so when you are for example in playa del Ingles you need to take a bus from one hour and you need to take an additional taxi and off course you have to get back which makes it all very expensive. As I said the instructor is very short because he is "flying all day" en when you Tell them there is information on the website that you can get transport he tells me it's not possible and you can not get a refund because now you're too late. One top of this the guy swore the word "tyfus"when I read him what was on the website.
