About this experience

Paragliding in Sumur Tiga is a tandem flight activity launched from a hillside above the village on Weh Island, part of Sabang Municipality in Aceh, Indonesia. The flight takes place over the rugged western coastline, with the Indian Ocean below and the volcanic interior of the island in the background. Each session is conducted by a certified pilot and ends with a controlled landing on a designated beach strip near Sumur Tiga.
