Tandem paragliding from Babadağ to Ölüdeniz

You take off from the 1,700 m or 1,965 m platform on Babadağ, glide over the lagoon and land on Belcekız beach. Your licensed pilot flies the wing; we pick you up at your hotel and bring you back.

Three launches, one landing

Babadağ has three launch platforms. The day’s wind and your preference decide which one you fly from; every flight lands in the same place, Belcekız beach.

We do not hide the price, but we do not print a single number either, because it changes with the launch, the season and how many of you there are. Send your date and we will give you the exact price straight away.

The pilot decides whether we fly

If wind, visibility or thermals are not right, the flight does not happen. We move you to another time or another day, and refund you if neither works.

  • Every flight is flown by a tandem pilot licensed under civil aviation rules.
  • Wings and harnesses are inspected on the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule; out-of-date equipment does not fly.
  • Mandatory personal accident insurance is arranged for every passenger.
  • The pilot makes the flight decision. If wind, visibility or thermal conditions are unsuitable, the flight does not happen — that call is not negotiable.
  • A reserve parachute is standard on every tandem system.

Do I need any experience to paraglide?

No. On a tandem flight you fly with a licensed pilot who controls the wing. All you do is run a few steps at take-off.

Is there an age or weight limit?

The usual range is ages 4–99 with an upper limit of around 110 kg. If you are near the limit, message us beforehand so the right pilot and wing can be assigned.

What happens if the weather is not suitable?

The flight does not happen. If wind or visibility is unsuitable we move you to another time or another day, and refund you if neither works. The pilot makes this call and it is not negotiable.

How long is the flight?

Air time is 25–35 minutes from the 1,700 m platform and 35–45 minutes from the summit. With hotel pick-up and the transfer up the mountain, allow about 3 hours in total.

What should I wear?

Closed lace-up trainers are required. It is 10–15 °C colder at the summit than at the beach, so bring a light jacket or sweatshirt. If you wear glasses, use a strap.

Why does the price change?

It depends on the launch platform, the season and group size. Prices in Ölüdeniz rise in high season. Message us with your dates for an exact quote.

How do I book?

Message us on WhatsApp or call. Tell us your date, how many people and your hotel; we arrange the transfer time. Payment is made on the day of the flight.
