Tandem Paragliding Fethiye: Babadağ to Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon

Launch from 2,000 meters and drift above the turquoise lagoon for half an hour.

Tandem paragliding from Babadağ in Fethiye takes you airborne with a professional pilot from 2,000 meters, soaring over the Ölüdeniz Blue Lagoon and surrounding mountains for 25–35 minutes. Hotel pickup is included, as are insurance, safety equipment and the national park entrance fee. The flight depends on weather. Photos and videos are available to purchase after landing.

The experience

You arrive in Fethiye with a free afternoon or a morning to fill, and tandem paragliding from Babadağ turns that into a single unforgettable flight. A driver picks you up from your hotel or meets you in Ölüdeniz and takes you to the summit at 2,000 meters. There, a professional tandem pilot walks you through the safety briefing, fits you into the harness, and handles all the technical setup. You stand at the edge of the mountain, the pilot gives the signal, and you run together off the slope into open air.

The flight itself lasts 25–35 minutes depending on wind and thermals. You're harnessed to an experienced pilot who steers the wing while you take in the view: the turquoise water of the Blue Lagoon directly below, the dramatic rock faces of the coastline, and the Mediterranean stretching toward the horizon. Babadağ and Ölüdeniz are world-renowned for paragliding because the mountain's height and the thermal currents make long, smooth flights possible here. You're not fighting the air. You're floating on it.

After landing on Ölüdeniz Beach, you step out of the harness and back onto solid ground. The pilot offers optional photos and videos shot during the flight. Those are available to buy on-site if you want proof of what just happened. The whole experience, from pickup to drop-off, takes about two hours.
