Paragliding from Mt. Babadag, Fethiye: Tandem flight

Take off from a high peak and drift above the Turkish coast

Tandem paragliding from Mt. Babadag in Fethiye pairs you with a certified pilot for a 90-minute experience that includes hotel pickup, equipment, and a safety briefing before takeoff. The mountain's stable weather and panoramic views make it one of the world's premier paragliding sites. A guide speaks English or Turkish throughout.

The experience

The activity starts with a 30-minute drive from your hotel to the launch site on Mt. Babadag, at 1,970 meters. Once there, the pilot briefs you on safety procedures for takeoff and flight, then both of you gear up and do a final equipment check. You walk or run a few steps together toward the mountain slope, wait for the wind to reach the right condition, and when the parachute inflates overhead, you lift off in seconds.

The flight itself is what you came for: you're airborne with the pilot, drifting above the Turkish Riviera with views that stretch across the coast. The whole experience (drive, briefing, flight, and return) takes about 90 minutes. All equipment is provided, and the air-conditioned vehicle handles the uphill journey so you arrive fresh.

Is this one for you?Book this if you want to fly with a pilot rather than watch from the ground. You're the one in the harness, moving through the air above the coast. The tandem setup means no experience needed, so first-time flyers and seasoned travelers alike get the same view from the same altitude.
