Paragliding in Cappadocia: Fly over fairy chimneys

Soar above the fairy chimneys and valleys in a single flight

Tandem paragliding in Cappadocia with a professional pilot, departing from Göreme to fly over fairy chimneys and valleys. Flights last around 90 minutes and run early in the morning when wind conditions are calmest and visibility is clearest. Pickup is included. Minimum age is 18. Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or during pregnancy.

The experience

Ninety minutes aloft gives you time to take in the full sweep of Cappadocia's landscape from the air. You launch from Göreme, strapped in tandem with a professional pilot who handles the flight while you watch the fairy chimneys, valleys and rock formations pass beneath you. Early morning departures mean calmer wind and the clearest views. The light is also at its best then. Since these are tandem flights, no prior paragliding experience is necessary. The pilot manages the equipment and the flight path while you focus on the view.

Paragliding equipment is included. An English-speaking guide accompanies you throughout, and hotel pickup is arranged so you don't need to find your own way to the launch site. The operator refunds your fee if weather forces a cancellation, though late arrival forfeits the booking.
