Many first-time guests feel a little nervous before their tandem paragliding flight — and that’s completely normal.

Paragliding does not feel like standing on the edge of a building. Once in the air, the sensation is calm and stable, with no sudden drops or rollercoaster movements. Most guests are surprised by how peaceful the experience feels.

No previous experience is required.

During your tandem paragliding flight in Chania, you are securely attached to a certified pilot who manages the entire process — from takeoff to landing — while you simply relax and enjoy the view over Crete.

No. Every tandem flight is one-on-one with your pilot.

You are securely connected to the instructor throughout the entire flight. Guests fly individually to ensure full attention, proper weight balance, and the safest possible experience.

Takeoff usually requires just a few easy steps — there is no jumping involved.

Landings are smooth and controlled. If you have any minor physical concerns (such as knee or back sensitivity), simply inform us in advance so we can advise you properly.

Paragliding in Chania is entirely weather dependent.

If wind conditions are not appropriate, the flight will be rescheduled for another available time. Safety decisions are always based on real-time evaluation of the conditions.

Flying only takes place when it is safe to do so.

Most people between 20kg and 100kg can enjoy a tandem paragliding experience in Crete, provided they are in good general health.

Children under 18 require parental consent. If you are above 90kg or below 40kg, please inform us in advance so we can schedule accordingly depending on wind conditions.

The full experience — from meeting point to landing — typically takes around one hour, depending on the selected flying location and weather conditions.

The flight itself usually lasts 15+ minutes, aiming for the best possible duration based on the day’s conditions.

The meeting point depends on the selected takeoff location around Chania.

You will receive exact details one day prior to your tandem paragliding flight, once weather conditions are confirmed.

Wear closed athletic shoes (no sandals or flip-flops), comfortable clothing, and a light jacket depending on the season. Sunglasses and sunscreen are recommended during sunny days in Crete.

In calm and stable conditions, your pilot may offer you the opportunity to gently steer the glider under supervision.

This is completely optional. You can simply relax and enjoy the panoramic views over Chania, or take a more active role if you wish.

We recommend booking in advance, especially during the summer season in Crete.

Since paragliding is weather dependent, flying earlier during your stay provides greater flexibility if rescheduling becomes necessary.
