Found another video, which helped me get it.

Credits to Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter
They show you where to get it, and how to get it.

Start on the lowest possible point.
First try got me to 291m, 2nd try got me to 305m
Don't forget to pull back the Left Stick while in the air. Does wonders!

Any suggestions to improve this guide are welcome.

Thanks for voting thumbs up if this guide was helpful.

Good luck!

There is also a glitch that you can use to get this achievement. It is how I did it. After you take over the base in the snowy mountain region for the Reapers, go to the free fall challenge that opens up at the tallest building in that region after you acquire the base. After selecting to do the challenge and you jump off the building, open up your parachute near the second checkpoint. Then pause and select "abort mission". After confirming, Rico will be sent back to the Reapers mountain base, about 400m above where you opened your 'chute, on solid ground, and you'll get the achievement. At least that's how it worked for me.

If you want a nice smooth long stretch of road to try this on, which I got it very easily, go to the intersection at coords X: 10130 Y: 5851 near the Kampung Tokong Tua civilian village and start from there going towards the intersection North East from there and then take that road going straight east from that point. I didnt keep track of total distance to the 300 meters and actually got 548 meters.

Couple of tips -
Once you're in the air and grappling, use the left stick to gain altitude. Pull back to climb higher - don't worry about the speed loss as you're going to grapple again in a second. Don't use the right stick at all as this will just confuse things / make it all a bit unstable.
Find yourself a nice road that winds its way up into the mountains. That way, you've got a clear, gentle slope to try and climb. Just be careful not to grapple on any cars so only press the button whilst the cursor is white.

I also got mine through a glitch. I grappled onto an AI plane that was taking off, and rode on top of it for a bit. I then dropped a triggered explosive charge at my feet and detonated, blowing up the plane and killing myself, and I got the achievement.

I was able to do this in the Panau City financial district. There are several large skyscrapers that you can use to help you get to the top of the Burj Panau (it's 400m tall). Took me a few times to get it right, but it's much easier to use the vertical surfaces of buildings than to try to climb a mountain.

The best location that I found was at the 3 Kings Hotel (X:3709 Y:31482). I used the left thumb stick method and just climbed up from spire to spire until you reach the top. In case you screw up or slow down too much just target the next tower and start climbing again.

For this achievement I went to the southwest area of the map, where the desert area drops off a steep cliff towards the water, near the Stronghold Takeover in that area. I would suggest finding a cliff near that Stronghold to jump off of to gain some momentum, open the parachute near the ground, gain enough speed, and then start to gradually turn around, re-ascend the cliff, and as long as you have good momentum you should definitely reach the 300-meter mark and then some.

For some reason I always have a hard time with anything that puts me in the air.

I found the ski slopes on the eastern side of the map to be nice and easy.

X- 24574m Y- 14786 is the location of the ski resort.

I started on the road just east of it and climbed my way to over 850 meters.

What you need to do here is simple. You need to be on foot, open your parachute & you need to of travelled 300 metres high before you put your feet back on the ground again. To start you need to tap at a point in front of you to grapple forward, as your moving forward press to open up the parachute now don't touch the floor.

To climb higher you simply need to keep grappling points above & in front of you. When you are sure you have travelled over 300 metres you can get close to the ground and press to close the parachute. You will see a notification at the top of your screen that may say 'Parachute Climb: 271 metres' for example, just make sure it says 300 or more and the trophy is yours.

Here is a video to help you (credit to Rooster Teeth):

For this achievement you need to climb your way up with the grappling hook while parachuting. Find a steep hill or mountain and climb your way up.

Alternate method: Find a road from the beach side into the mountains. This method is much slower, but the hill you climb won't be as steep, making it easier to avoid mistakes.

Important!

After opening the parachute and getting hooked, immediately release , and don’t hold it - otherwise nothing will work and you won’t pull yourself up.

The trophy can be completed on any mountain. Maneuver your parachute for convenience.

If you have a game with add-ons, you can easily fulfill the requirement with jet engines for a parachute. For visual convenience, you can start “climbing” from the beach near the mountains to determine the height from sea level by eye.
