Paragliding is the thrill of high altitude flying - in this instance over stunning coastal and mountain scenery.
The launch site is from the towering peak of Baba Dağ approximately 1250 metres above the stunning lagoon at Ölü Deniz. The descent takes approximately thirty minutes and provides a bird’s eye view of Ölü Deniz, across the deserted ‘ghost village’ of Kayaköy in the Kaya valley and on over the harbour town of Fethiye to the Gulf of Göcek & Fethiye.
Tandem paragliding leaves you free to enjoy the experience in the hands of a friendly and eminently qualified pilot. The canopy resembles a parachute but acts as a fixed wing. Once inflated it takes only a few steps to launch from a gentle slope. Once airborne the pilot has complete control over direction and speed and can soar ridges, rise on warm currents and cover vast distances.
Safety is, of course, of paramount interest. The pilots fly four times daily with all manner of passengers. Each passenger is fully briefed and issued with helmet, boots and flying suit. Additionally all pilots carry communication systems and a reserve parachute. Flights are cancelled if there is any meteorological contra-indication on any given day.
