Montenegro Bečići Paragliding: Coastal Flight & GoPro Pickup

Summary

Soaring over Budva’s coastline with wind in your face and laughter in your chest

You’ll lift off above Bečići Beach with a local pilot guiding you every step — from nervous laughs at takeoff to silent awe as you float over Montenegro’s coastline. See Budva and the Adriatic spread out beneath you, feel the wind on your face, and land with memories (and maybe GoPro footage) that stick around long after.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway up the hill outside Bečići when I realized my hands wouldn’t stop fidgeting. Our guide, Marko, kept cracking jokes about first-timers — “You’ll forget your own name up there!” — but honestly, it helped. The van windows were foggy from everyone’s nervous breath. The sea looked almost fake-blue down below, and I could smell pine needles crushed underfoot when we stepped out at the launch site. I tried to act cool but probably looked like a lost puppy in that helmet.

The safety talk was quick but careful, which made me trust these guys even more. Marko adjusted my harness and told me to “just run until you can’t feel ground anymore.” That part is weirdly true — one second you’re running on rocky grass, next second your feet are air. It’s loud at first, wind whipping past your ears and then suddenly it all goes quiet except for the pilot pointing out Budva’s old town way off to the right. I could see tiny umbrellas on Bečići Beach, people waving (maybe at us?), and that endless blue curve of the Adriatic. My heart was hammering but in a good way.

I didn’t expect how peaceful it would get up there — like floating inside your own bubble above Montenegro. Marko let me steer for a few seconds (not sure he should’ve trusted me), and we both laughed when I tried to say “prelijepo” (beautiful) in Montenegrin. He said I sounded like his grandmother after rakija. The landing came too soon; sand under my shoes again, legs shaky but grinning like an idiot. You can get GoPro footage if you want — I did, mostly so my friends back home would believe me.
