The experience
Want more than just a tandem flight? Go for a Paragliding Experience!
This activity consists of two sensational tandem flights per person with an experienced KNVvL certified instructor/tandem pilot.
After a short instruction, a few steps at take-off and landing are all that is needed to get into the air. First, you will make a baptismal flight to experience what it feels like to float freely with a paraglider. During the flight, the pilot will also explain and you can usually steer yourself if you want to (and safety permits). Then follows a second tandem flight where you can decide for yourself what kind of flight it will be.
You can steer yourself again and improve your piloting skills with instructions from the tandem pilot.
But you can also go for sensation! The pilot will then (within safe margins) perform faster flight maneuvers to demonstrate what is possible with a paraglider and how that feels as a (fellow) pilot. Your flight will be shorter in that case, but guaranteed to be more sensational than the fair!
If you are interested in training to become a paragliding pilot after your flight, our enthusiastic team members will be happy to assist you.
There is a danger involved; paragliding is addictive. After your Paragliding Experience you may immediately book a course!
