Fly itself is around 15 minutes (depending on wind conditions of the day)
The whole experience takes around 1 to 2 hours including drive up to the mountain, hike, equipment preparation and sometimes waiting time for optimal wind conditions

Flying location depends on the winds of the day , we will update you day before your flight 🙌

Have you ever dream of flying free like a bird? First-timers often describe their flight as “breathtaking” and “spiritual,” saying that they fulfilled their dream of flying like a bird. Paragliding is flying in its simplest form, so it’s the closest you can get to this experience. People are often surprised by how comfortable they feel in the air and love how they feel “at one” with the elements.

Flying in smooth weather on a paraglider can be surprisingly calm and relaxing. If the idea of watching the sunset from a comfortable seat in the air, supported by the buoyant evening air, with perhaps an eagle joining you off your wing tip, appeals to you, then paragliding is for you.

Of course, if you want a more exciting flight, we can make it happen!

Paragliding is as safe as driving a car and safer than riding a bicycle. It is the safest way to fly. Of course it is an adventure sport, and as all outdoor activities it is very safe when practised correctly. Our main pilot Oliver has 27 years of experience and all his tandem flights have been completed safely with no injury. We use high quality equipment and always respect weather conditions. 

Your safety is our priority and if we have any concerns at all we won’t fly.

It is possible to fly if you’re scared of heights. If you can stay on a mountain then you can also fly. There is no “jump” off the hill. Instead, you are gently lifted off the ground, so you won’t get that plummeting feeling in your stomach. Flying paragliding is like sitting on a comfortable sofa where your eyes are looking at the horizon. Many people have braved a flight before and surprised themselves by loving every minute.

Your feet will be on the ground at the start and end of the flight, and once you are airborne you won’t be expected to do anything other than sit and relax! Your pilot will have full control of the wing at all times so if in any case you don’t feel comfortable you can let him know and he will bring you back to the ground.

No. When you go parasailing, you are towed behind a boat, attached to a parachute-style wing. Your direction is controlled by the boat, which you remain attached to, and you have no control over where you go.

Paragliding is free flight under a high-tech, ram-air airfoil, which the pilot uses to control the direction of flight and (to some extent) the speed. It’s much cooler, it is freedom of flying!

You take a few steps and off you go! There is no “jump” off the hill. Instead, you are gently lifted off the ground, so you won’t get that plummeting feeling in your stomach.

“I love to remember the flight with you, it is a memory I will never forget. I show up in my wheelchair, and you said no problem we're gonna get you up in the air. We saw the sunset and the full moon at the same time! You let me try to control the glider and I realized that I could also fly by myself. On the landing, I had tears in my eyes. Now I have my own paragliding license and about 100 solo flights. I am so grateful to you for introducing me to paragliding, now my dream came true! Thank you, Oliver

“I’ve wanted to try paragliding for a long time, finally I went to fly with Oliver last year. It was spectacular! Definitely one of the best activities I’ve done in Phuket, so much fun! If you are afraid of skydiving, this is perfect for you. Something that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime.”
