No two tandem flights are exactly the same, however this is what you can expect from your day. After you get to the meeting point, we drive up to the flying location that is most suitable for the current weather conditions. If you are flying in Ohrid, there are 3 takeoff points which gives you an opportunity to enjoy the superb views of the area and us the flexibility to choose a suitable location depending on the weather so your chance of flying is higher.

Once we are at the take off location  we do a briefing during which we take you through the details of the flight and explain about the equipment and safety procedures. After a safety check, we’re ready to take off so we run a few steps down a gentle slope and it’s time to sit back and enjoy your flight. Depending on your desire, abilities, the weather conditions and the area where we fly, your instructor might let you handle the controls during the flight. If you just want to relax and admire the scenery, that’s OK too, the main objective is to have a good time.

Fear of heights is very common but for most people the anxiety vanishes, the moment we are airborne. The pilot will take into consideration your fear, and will make sure that your tandem flight is like floating in the sky. You’ll be sitting comfortably and the feeling is very much like that of looking through an airplane window. Let us know beforehand if there is anything that worries you and we will ensure that your experience is enjoyable and adjust the way we fly with you accordingly.

Sports pants, shoes with supported ancles or hiking shoes. Although we fly during summer season, we recommend dressing in layers, meaning having long sleeves on top of your short sleeves t-shirt, and also a windproof top is very suitable. Don’t show up in any kind of shoes that are slippery, and never in flipflops. For the takeoff and landing, your shoes need to be holding your ankles for your safety when you’ll need to run few steps.

Statistically paragliding is quite safe as compared to other sports. Choosing when to fly has the greatest impact on everyone’s  safety when it comes to paragliding. Our instructors have all the necessary experience to judge the weather conditions and will only proceed with a flight if they are certain that safety will not be compromised.

Basically not. The landing speed depends on the wind at the landing site and also on the payload. Before landing, the speed of the glider is slowed down, so that you have to take some faster steps. With wind the landing becomes softer and even slower.
