Have you ever wondered about soaring through the sky like an eagle? Have you ever watched a bird and felt fascinated by its apparent freedom?
Almost anybody can experience the freedom of flight by participating in an intro-tandem experience with a flight instructor. It takes just a few minutes for the pre-flight briefing and you’re off, gliding through the air in search of waves of lift. Experience the magic of a paragliding flight by joining us on one of our introductory paragliding experiences.
