About this experience

Paragliding in Cù Lao Chàm is a tandem aerial flight launched from the hills of this UNESCO-recognised island biosphere reserve, located 15 kilometres off Hoi An’s coast. The flight lasts 10–15 minutes, landing on the island’s main beach near Bãi Làng. A motorised paraglider ensures stable take-off even in light winds, with the pilot controlling the flight path over the Cham Islands’ forested peaks and clear-water bays.
