TANDEM PARAGLIDING  

Roughly speaking, you can launch from a hillside under a canopy that resembles a parachute but acts like rigid wing. Once inflated overhead, it takes only a few steps or a short run to launch gently and become airborne. In the air, complete control over direction and speed gives the pilot freedom to soar ridges, rise on warm currents of air and cover distances while you enjoy the views and the adrenaline rush while surely taking your life favourite selfie shots or films! 

Tandem paragliding puts you in the front seat and leaves the technicalities of flying in the hands of a very well trained and skilled pilot sitting directly behind you.

What’s more, Oludeniz offers the best tandem site in Europe, if not the world. With perfect launch areas near the 2000m summit of Babadag, your flight will take you over its ridges, out over the sea for a bird’s eye view of the famous lagoon to a gentle landing on the beach. Our pilots fly four times a day, everyday taking people like you, old and young on this amazing adventure. Every passenger is briefed an issued with helmet, boots and flying suit and all pilots carry complete reserve and communication systems. Furthermore, conditions are carefully assessed before you are taken to the sky. Have a nice flight.
