What to expect

Your day, start to finish

Soar through the skies above Gudauri, relishing the perfect blend of joyous flight and awe-inspiring scenery. Unforgettable sensations await, a tandem flight is the single fastest way to make a visit to Gudauri extraordinary.

You do not need experience, fitness or a licence. Your pilot handles the wing; your only job is to run a few steps off the launch slope and then sit back into the harness. Within seconds the ground drops away and the whole valley opens up beneath you.

For those seeking an extra dose of excitement, the Extreme package takes paragliding to the next level. It includes the execution of various extreme manoeuvres during the flight, designed to intensify the passenger's experience and deliver an unparalleled sense of adrenaline and adventure.

None at all. Most of our guests have never flown before. Your pilot controls the wing for the entire flight; you run a few steps at launch, sit down in the harness, and lift your legs at landing.

Both are 15 minute tandem flights. The Standard package is a smooth, scenic glide. The Extreme package adds acrobatic manoeuvres during the flight for a much stronger adrenaline hit, at the higher price shown above.

We make the call on the morning of your flight and message you as early as we can. You are offered a full refund or a free reschedule to any other day, your choice, no fee either way.

The Standard flight is a smooth glide and very few people feel queasy. The Extreme flight pulls real G, if you are prone to motion sickness, book Standard. Tell your pilot before launch either way and they will adjust.

Phones must be on a wrist strap or in a zipped pocket, and cameras cannot be hand-held during launch or landing. You do not need to bring anything for footage: your pilot films the flight on a GoPro and the video is included in the price.

We fly guests of all ages, but tell us the age and weight of every passenger when you book so we can assign the right pilot and wing. Under-18s need a parent or guardian to sign the waiver.
