Our main flying area is Arco da Calheta, the famous and most flyable place all over Portugal.
Thanks to it´s perfect location up on the hill we can fly over the most beautiful landscapes, cliffs, mountains, forests, waterfalls, sea and beaches.
Usually we start flying at noon when the weather conditions begin to be great and safe. Due to the fact that we simply don´t want to fly you only down to the beach but higher than our take-off spot and share the passion of high level paragliding we don´t fly in the morning.
Tandem flights can be done with a max. wind speed up to 35 km/h. Therefor Arco da Calheta is by far the best place to fly during the whole year (+300 days/year)
All flights and reservations are depending on daily weather conditions.
The passenger sits in the first row in front of the instructor. Here you can enjoy first class view.
No problem at all, the vertigo effect disappears as soon as we are leaving the ground.
If you might suffer vertigo please let us know before the flight so we can prepare.
All you need to do for take-off is a couple of steps forward and you will be in the air. So we don’t jump over the cliff, the air takes us up gently.
You simply lift your legs up and we land seated on our comfortable foam protector which is mounted under our seats.
We have very comfortable seats which allows us to sit almost as relaxed as on a sofa.
Your hands are free for waiving, clapping or recording the flight on your phone and take selfies.
We guarantee a minimum flight duration of 15 minutes. The whole activity incl. safety instructions and training with return back to base will last about 1 hour.
This is not usual, generally if you don’t suffer travel/motion sickness you should not feel strange during the flight. Please don´t eat or drink short before the flight, alcohol is not allowed.
There is no minimum or maximum age limit. It is enough to tell the age of the passenger at the moment of the reservation, the same if the person has some physical limitations.
