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 Côte d'Or is a tandem flight activity launched from the hills above Anse Côte d'Or beach on Praslin, Seychelles. The flight lasts 15-20 minutes and is guided by a certified pilot who controls the canopy. You take off from a grassy slope at roughly 200 metres elevation and land on the sand below, with the Indian Ocean and nearby islands in view.
