Parasailing in Fethiye: Tandem flight with certified pilots

You control nothing except whether to ask for acrobatics mid-flight

Tandem parasailing in Fethiye pairs you with a certified pilot for a roughly 30-minute flight over Oludeniz, starting from Babadağ and landing at the office beach. Insurance, equipment, park entry and air-conditioned shuttle transport from your hotel are included. The pilots are university graduates with Turkish Aeronautical Association certificates and trainer credentials from the Air Sports Federation. You can request acrobatic moves during the flight, and photos and videos taken during the flight transfer to your phone at the office afterward.

The experience

The activity starts at the Fly Laputa office in Fethiye Ölüdeniz, where you complete insurance and registration paperwork. From there, an air-conditioned shuttle takes roughly 30 minutes to reach Babadağ, the take-off area. Once the pilots prepare your harness and equipment, you launch when conditions are right: no waiting for a specific time slot. The flight itself runs roughly 30 minutes unless you request acrobatic movements, which the pilot can perform on your say-so mid-air. Weather can shorten the duration, but the operator adjusts the flight window to match conditions rather than pushing through poor air.

Landing happens at the beach in front of the office, not at a remote site, so the return is immediate. Back at the office, the photos and videos shot during your flight transfer to your phone before you leave. The pilots hold university degrees in paragliding and carry both Turkish Aeronautical Association authorization and Air Sports Federation trainer certificates: credentials that matter if you're nervous about heights, since the operator notes the activity is manageable even for people afraid of flying. Children from age 2 can go up in a special harness, and the company provides detailed safety information before takeoff.

Is parasailing safe if I'm afraid of heights?

Does the price include everything, or are there extra costs?
