A Closer Look at the Paragliding Experience in Alanya

What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

This tandem paragliding experience offers a perfect blend of adventure and scenic beauty. From the start, you’ll be greeted by a professional team that emphasizes safety without sacrificing the thrill. The flight duration generally ranges from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the wind conditions, which is plenty of time to feel the wind in your hair and absorb the breathtaking views.

What’s especially appealing is the personalized nature of the tour. Since it’s a private group experience, you won’t be sharing your flight with strangers. Instead, you’ll fly with a pilot who communicates clearly and ensures you’re comfortable before taking off. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced flyer, the safety briefing prepares you well, and the flight itself offers an unbeatable perspective of Alanya’s coastline.

The Itinerary: From Ground to Sky

Your adventure begins with hotel pickup—a seamless start, especially after you confirm your time. Depending on your chosen option, you’ll be taken to a mountain top that rises approximately 650 meters above sea level. This location is selected for its optimal wind conditions and stunning views, offering an ideal launchpad for your flight.

Before the takeoff, a thorough safety briefing is provided. This not only covers what to expect but also addresses any concerns about the equipment or procedures. Once you’re suited up with safety gear, the real fun begins.
