Practical information
Take off for an unforgettable tandem paragliding flight over the breathtaking landscapes of Aljezur, one of the Algarve’s most untamed and scenic regions. Fly over rolling hills, rugged cliffs, and vast ocean views, taking in the natural beauty of the region from above.
The tandem paraglider is specially designed for two people: you, the passenger, and a certified professional instructor. No previous experience is needed. After a short run for takeoff, you’ll be comfortably seated in a harness right in front of your pilot. From there, all that’s left to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the incredible sensation of flying, with the flight lasting up to 15 minutes depending on the conditions.
Throughout the experience, your local pilot will handle all technical aspects while guiding you through the air and pointing out the most stunning views. Curious about the area or paragliding itself? Ask away. Your instructor Nelson is happy to share insights and answer questions. A passionate paragliding enthusiast, national team member, and international competition flyer, Nelson brings not only top-level expertise but a true love for sharing the skies. For him, every tandem flight is an opportunity to pass on the joy of paragliding.
This paragliding experience is a safe and accessible way to discover the freedom of flight, even if it’s your first time. Want to capture the moment?
