At the take-off site, our professional tandem pilot will provide you with a comprehensive briefing to ensure your safety and enjoyment. Once ready, it’s time to take flight and experience the sheer joy of soaring through the air for an extended duration of approximately 20 – 30 minutes, depending on the flying conditions. Prepare to be captivated by the beauty that unfolds beneath you.
During the flight, both you and your expert flight instructor will be equipped with comfortable harnesses, securely connected to the glider. Your pilot will guide you through the flight, explaining the mechanics of paragliding and even offering hands-on control of the glider if conditions permit. This interactive experience adds an extra dimension of excitement to your Ohrid adventure.
Upon landing at Cuba Libre Beach bar, you can unwind and relish the memories of your paragliding experience. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating coffee or beer while sharing your impressions with fellow adventurers.
