Activity briefing
The hills behind Kaş are uniquely suited for paragliding which, because of their size and location produces the steady updrafts, which make paragliding challenging and so much fun.
Tandem paragliding leaves you free to enjoy the experience while the flying is in the hands of professional pilots of our tour operator.
Every passenger is briefed and issued with a helmet, and all pilots carry reserve chutes and communication systems.
Itinerary
We’ll pick you up at the villa and bring you to Kas center from which the operator will take you to a height of 600 meters approx (2000 ft) with a minivan. Your journey from Kas center will take about 20 minutes.
During your journey you can spot eagles or mountain goats. and see wildlife through the hills and gliders.
Your flight of 20 to 30 minutes will take you over mountain ridges and will give you a bird’s eye view of the Old Town of Kaş, its harbour, the peninsula and, of course, the Greek island of Kastellorizo (Meis).
This will be definitely unforgettable trip for people who want to have active rest!
Safety
Always safety first! Your safety is first and always. We want to provide a great experience to our customers but a safe one. Your safety is paramount and ensured by experienced pilots of our operator who fly up to six sorties a day, every day, taking all sizes of passengers on this amazing adventure.
Due to the limits of the harness the maximum weight of any participant cannot surpass 100 kg.
Every passenger is briefed and issued with a helmet and all pilots carry reserve chutes and communication systems. There is no flight if there is any meteorological contra-indication on any given day. The paragliding team has great self-confidence and discipline coupled with over 20 years of experience. There are no other “secrets” to safety in paragliding than these.
Many of our operator’s pilots first gained their experience in the Turkish military and from that they learned discipline in looking at the big picture and never trusting anything to chance. The Team Captain is personally responsible for checking both his own equipment as well as that of his co-pilots and in determining the attitudes and abilities of his customers. He is always monitoring the weather conditions and will call off a flight if the weather is not acceptable.
Another safety point for tandem flying is that the Team Captain always goes last after his co-pilots have safely taken off from the starting point. This way he is able to check the equipment and attitude of each passenger one last time and to help get the passenger and pilot started successfully for take off. When it is his turn he uses the vehicle driver to assist in his take off. He believes no other paragliding organization uses helpers this much.
Capacity
We can take 3 passengers on a single sortie. The daily limit for this adventure depends entirely on weather conditions. In ideal conditions, on a long day, it is possible to fly as much as 9 times in a day which makes a daily capacity of 27 passengers. Usually we average between 5 and 6 sorties per day.
