Tom Dorlodot in Polynesia

Adventurer Tom de Dorlodot and his team head off to the Pacific islands in search of the most incredible and remote places to paraglide.
Watch the wonderful report below, made in partnership with RTL and sponsored by Redion.

Travelling aboard a 15-metre sailboat, Tom and his team sail from Tahiti to the paradise atolls of the Tuamotus and venture as far as the very remote Marquesas Islands.
In the middle of the adventure, the team comes close to disaster. Pilot Horacio Llorens gets sucked into a cloud and has to make an emergency landing at sea. The rescue operation proves difficult, but the team pulls together and saves his life just in time.
