FAQ

I have never tried paragliding before. What should I consider before doing it? What flight option mostly suits me?

Firstly, paragliding involves being airborne, so if you’re afraid of heights, it might be challenging. It’s also an extreme sport, so it is essential to be mentally prepared for an adrenaline rush.

For beginners, the shortest flight option is often recommended. In this case, the beach flight would be suitable. It typically lasts around 20-25 minutes and offers a gentle introduction to paragliding. This option allows you to experience the thrill of flying while minimizing the duration spent in the air, which can help acclimate to the experience.

How can I book?

You can use the online booking form above (** insert link **) to reserve your preferred flight experience. The form will prompt you to provide details such as the number of participants, preferred date, accommodation information, contact details, and personal information (including height, weight, and age).

Following your submission, we will review the information and contact you to confirm any necessary details and provide feedback on availability. Flight schedules are typically confirmed approximately 2-3 days before your chosen activity date, depending on weather conditions. We will recommend the optimal day and time for the best flying conditions.

Where is the meeting point?
