I'm lucky to be about 30 minutes away from Torrey Pines Glider Port, where to pioneers of gliders in the USA were testing designs (Bowlus for example) and there are a couple people in business there hiring out rides on hand gliders and paragliders (not parasailing, that's where you are towed into the air with a boat, don't do that), and I took about a hundred bucks about 25 years ago when income tax returns happened, and went for a paraglider ride. It's as close to being a bird as humans can get
By the by, it's around 3k for the training program to get certified to paraglide on your own at Torrey Pines. No doubt its cheaper to get an all expense paid, meals included, vacation in any south American or Asian country AND get trained and licensed, plus round trip airline tickets, than to blow 3k at https://www.flytorrey.com/
and the current price for the tandem flight is 175
