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 Tha Khao Beach is a tandem flight activity on the west coast of Koh Yao Yai, Phuket's neighbouring island. The launch point sits on a grassy hill above the sand, offering a direct view of the Andaman Sea and limestone karsts. Flights run daily from 9:00 to 17:00, weather permitting, with a certified pilot attached to each passenger.

What to expect

Flight duration is 8 to 12 minutes, covering a 400-metre towline launch and a controlled descent to the beach landing zone.
Each session includes a full safety briefing, a harness, a helmet, and a GoPro rental for recording the flight (footage transferred to your phone).
You will see the northern tip of Koh Yao Yai, the mangrove channels at Tha Khao, and the Phi Phi islands on a clear day.
Suitable for first-time flyers and children aged 8 and above, with a maximum weight limit of 110 kg per passenger.
The activity operates in wind speeds of 5 to 15 knots; flights are cancelled if rain or gusts exceed this range, with a full refund offered.
