What to Expect from the Paragliding Experience

This tour begins with pickup from your hotel—whether you’re staying in Antalya, Belek, or Side—making it a seamless start. Once in Alanya, you’ll head straight to Cleopatra Beach, famed for its soft sands and turquoise waters. It’s the perfect backdrop for your first glimpse of what’s to come.

The initial step is a comprehensive safety briefing. Our guides, who speak English, German, and Russian, took time to explain every step, making us feel confident and secure. As one reviewer put it, “George did a great job explaining the safety stuff”, which is key for first-timers or anyone with pre-flight jitters.

Next, it’s an ascent up the mountain to the takeoff site. The drive itself offers impressive views, and the anticipation builds as you climb. You might choose to take off from 400 meters or go for the more exhilarating 700-meter flight. The sight of the coastline getting closer as you ascend adds to the excitement.

The Flight Itself: Thrills and Panoramas

Once airborne, you’ll glide over Cleopatra Beach, marveling at the panoramic views of the coastline, the sea, and the surrounding mountains. The flight is described as “smooth” and “very fun” with plenty of opportunities to take photos (if you opt to buy them).

Many reviews highlight the professionalism of the pilots, who keep safety front and center while making the experience enjoyable. The views from 700 meters are especially praised, with one saying, “The weather and view was amazing”, and another mentioning the “breathtaking” scenery.

The flight duration varies, but some reviews note that the flight could be a little longer. For instance, one reviewer suggested that “the duration of the flight should be improved”—meaning you’d want to check if the timing suits your expectations before booking.

Landing and Post-Flight Moments

The descent is gentle and controlled, with landings described as “smooth” or “perfect”. After landing, there’s plenty of time to review your photos and videos, which are captured by the professional teams. These memories are often cited as a highlight—many travelers appreciated having “photos and 3D videos” that perfectly capture the thrill.

Once back on Cleopatra Beach, most will feel a rush of adrenaline and satisfaction, having experienced a truly unique perspective of Alanya’s landscape. Then it’s a quick ride back to your hotel, with the entire adventure typically lasting between 2 and 9 hours depending on the schedule and options chosen.

The Practical Side: What’s Included, Costs, and Considerations

For $25, this tour offers significant value, especially with hotel pickup and drop-off included (if selected). The insurance and live guide are part of the package, providing reassurance throughout the experience.

However, photos and videos are an additional expense—20 Euros—which many reviewers felt was worth it for the quality and memories captured, although some mentioned the price was steep. Also, note that you cannot bring your own cameras, cellphones, or GoPros into the jump area for safety reasons.

The duration varies, so be sure to check available start times and plan accordingly. The tour is not suitable for children under 10, those with mobility issues, or anyone over 120 kg (264 lbs).
