Do I need any experience to go paragliding?

No experience is needed. Tandem paragliding means you fly with a professional pilot who controls the entire flight. You just sit back and enjoy the view.

How long does a paragliding flight last?

Tandem flights typically last 20–30 minutes, depending on weather conditions and thermal activity. The whole experience including briefing and transport takes about 2–3 hours.

About this experience

Paragliding in Kapas Island is a tandem or solo paragliding activity launched from the island's central hill, with flights over the South China Sea and the island's coral-fringed shoreline. The activity operates from a designated take-off point near the main beach, with flights lasting between 10 and 20 minutes depending on wind conditions. Landings occur on the main sandy beach, and the operator provides all safety gear, including harness, helmet, and reserve parachute.
