General İnformation About Side Paragliding

Side Paragliding 2

Side is one of the most popular holiday resorts along Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. Famous for its magnificent beaches, ancient ruins, and sunny climate, Side also offers fantastic options for those seeking adrenaline-packed activities. One such adventure is the increasingly popular Paragliding experience. If you want to create unforgettable memories during your vacation, you can glide through the sky with paragliding from Side and enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the Mediterranean. This Side paragliding adventure, carried out with professional pilots and high-quality equipment, allows you to experience adrenaline-filled moments without compromising safety.

What is Side Paragliding?

Paragliding is an exhilarating air sport in which you run off a “flat” hill, take off, and glide with a specially designed parachute wing, riding the flow of the wind. Side tandem paragliding is this experience performed in the Side region, accompanied by a professional pilot. In a tandem (dual) flight, you and your licensed pilot share the same paragliding equipment. All you need to do is run a few steps during takeoff and then relax while enjoying the view; your experienced pilot takes care of the rest. No previous experience or training is required. A safety briefing and equipment support are provided before the flight, so even if it’s your first time, you will feel secure. In short, the Side paragliding tour will be a safe and unforgettable adventure for every thrill-seeker, regardless of age.

Paragliding Experience from Side

When you join a Side tandem paragliding tour, you are offered not only the thrill of flying but also the opportunity to discover the enchanting beauty of the region. After departing from Side in your transfer vehicle, you arrive in the Alanya region where the adventure begins. At the takeoff point, your pilot straps you into the flight equipment, provides a safety briefing, and then together you run a few steps, defying gravity as you soar into the sky. When you do paragliding from Side, gliding from heights of up to 800 meters to view the Mediterranean and its surroundings from above is an indescribable sensation. Throughout the flight, the historic silhouette of Alanya Castle, verdant slopes, and the golden sands of the famous Cleopatra Beach accompany your view. You may even request your pilot to perform some adrenaline-filled acrobatic maneuvers, or simply enjoy a calm flight and savor the scenery. After approximately 15-20 minutes of gliding, you gently descend for a soft landing at Cleopatra Beach.

  • Unique Views: During the flight, the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean, the Taurus Mountains, and the unparalleled vistas of Alanya unfold beneath your feet.
  • Safe and Enjoyable: With experienced pilots, you experience a flight that is both safe and fun. If desired, exciting maneuvers can be performed mid-air.
  • Photo and Video Opportunities: You have the chance to immortalize the moments with a GoPro, capturing every unforgettable detail (details are provided below).
  • Unforgettable Memories: The Side paragliding experience adds an unforgettable adventure to your holiday and gives you amazing stories to share with your friends.

Where is Side Paragliding Done?

Since there are no hills or mountains around Side with the required height for paragliding, the flights are conducted in the Alanya district, which is approximately one hour away from Side. Guests joining the Side paragliding tour are taken to a takeoff point in Alanya known as Yassı Tepe (Yassıtepe), situated at an altitude of about 800 meters. Flights begin here under the supervision of expert teams and are accompanied by breathtaking views. When you take off from Yassı Tepe, on one side you see the Alanya city center and the historic Alanya Castle, and on the other, the endless expanse of the Mediterranean. Depending on the wind conditions, your flight path may glide over Alanya’s world-famous Cleopatra Beach, and your landing point will be Cleopatra Beach as well. For the convenience of guests staying in Side, transportation between Side and Alanya is generally included in the tour package. This means you do not need to worry about arranging your own transport for the Side paragliding adventure – you will be picked up from your door, taken to the flight area, and returned to Side after the flight.

How Long Does the Side Paragliding Tour Last?

Vacationers often wonder how much time they should set aside for this adventure. The Side paragliding tour typically takes about half a day from start to finish. It covers an average time frame of 3-4 hours from the moment you are picked up from your hotel in Side until you are returned. This includes an approximate 1-hour one-way transfer between Side and Alanya, preparation and waiting time, the flight duration, and the return journey. The actual paragliding flight time lasts around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the weather conditions. Sometimes, depending on the wind, you might even have the chance for a longer glide.

Tours are generally arranged in both the early morning and the afternoon. In the morning, the air is cooler and the wind more stable, making for a pleasant flight. Afternoon flights offer breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, depending on the sun’s position. Our guides and pilots closely monitor the weather to ensure you fly at the most suitable time. If you have limited time, don’t worry; setting aside just half a day for paragliding from Side is sufficient, leaving you plenty of time for other activities or relaxation for the rest of the day.

Side Paragliding Prices

Side paragliding prices may vary depending on the season and the range of services provided. Side paragliding prices are approximately per person. This price generally includes round-trip transfers from the hotel, the use of necessary equipment, a tandem flight with an expert pilot, and insurance. The services included in the price may vary slightly depending on the operator, but most packages are offered on an “all-inclusive” basis. Extra services such as photo and video recording are usually not included in this price (please see the GoPro section below).

Keep in mind that due to fluctuations in exchange rates and seasonal demand, prices may be updated from time to time. Therefore, it is advisable to contact us for the most current price information before making your reservation. The prices listed on our website are updated according to the latest changes, but please inquire for definitive information. We also offer flexible package options to provide you with the most suitable Side paragliding prices and services.

GoPro Recordings and Prices

Wouldn't you like to immortalize the indescribable excitement and stunning views you experience while gliding through the sky? During your paragliding flight, your pilot can capture both video and photos using a high-definition GoPro camera. Throughout the flight, your smiles, astonishment, and admiring glances are recorded by this camera. Once you return to our office after landing, you will have the opportunity to review these recordings and photos. If you like them, you can purchase these memories digitally to keep them with you.

Photos and videos captured with GoPro are generally not included in the tour price and are offered as an additional service. The video and photo package of your Side paragliding experience may be provided for an average fee of around 30-50 € depending on the operator. (These rates may vary by year and service provider; please ask for the current price before your flight.) Many people take advantage of this reasonably priced service to share their unforgettable memories on social media or to keep them for re-watching years later. You too can record every moment of your flight and cherish this experience for a lifetime.

Is There a Female Pilot Option?

Ensuring that our guests feel completely comfortable and safe is our top priority in our paragliding activities. If you specifically wish to fly with a female pilot, we do our best to accommodate your request. Our team includes experienced female pilots, and if properly scheduled, you have the option to fly with a female pilot. If you inform us of this preference during the reservation process, we will try to arrange your program to include a female pilot flight. Of course, pilot assignments depend on availability on the day of the flight, but we prioritize our guests’ requests.

The female pilot option is particularly appealing to our female guests or to any guests who might feel more comfortable this way. Our aim is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable during the Side paragliding tour. Therefore, please do not hesitate to inform us of any special requests you may have (such as a female pilot or the desire to fly side-by-side with a friend). We are flexible and strive to provide the most suitable and enjoyable experience for you.

What is the Age Limit?

Paragliding is an activity suitable for participants of a wide age range, but there are certain safety limits in place. To join a Side paragliding flight, the minimum age is generally recommended to be 16. Participants under 18 can fly with the consent and approval of their parents. Younger guests (for example, those aged 14-15) may occasionally be accepted with parental permission, but the essential criterion is that the minimum physical requirements for safely securing the flight equipment are met. Typically, children weighing less than 25-30 kg are not suitable for paragliding, which corresponds roughly to an age limit of 8-10 years. Our pilots and team will assess whether young participants feel comfortable before the flight. Additionally, in Side tandem paragliding flights, the weight limits for a passenger are generally a minimum of 25-30 kg and a maximum of 110 kg. These criteria are necessary for the safe operation of the equipment and for a comfortable flight.

As for the upper age limit, theoretically, there is no maximum age for adults as long as they are in good health. Even guests in their 60s or 70s can participate in paragliding if their overall health is good and they feel well. The key is the absence of heart conditions, severe acrophobia, or any other health issues that could pose a risk. Unfortunately, this activity is not recommended for pregnant women. Prior to the flight, every participant is required to fill out a health and safety form; by providing important health information on this form, you help us make the safest decision for you. In short, if you feel healthy and eager, you can join the Side paragliding experience regardless of your age!

Can Three People Fly in the Same Paraglider?

No, unfortunately, three people cannot fly in the same paraglider at the same time. Tandem paragliding equipment is designed for a maximum of two people: one pilot and one passenger. Having a third person on the same paraglider is not possible due to safety and balance concerns. If you are a group of three friends wishing to share this experience, the solution is for each of you to fly simultaneously with your own pilot in three separate paragliders. This way, you can all be in the sky at the same time and enjoy watching each other’s flights, although each person will be in their own paraglider.

For guests who want to experience paragliding as a group, flights are generally arranged consecutively or within the same session. For example, two paragliders may take off one after the other, and the third might follow a few minutes later. This way, each of you flies safely with your own pilot and you all share the adventure within a similar timeframe. So, while three people cannot be in the same paraglider, three people can share this experience simultaneously. If you have any special requests (such as flying consecutively or appearing together in video recordings), please let us know and we will do our best to arrange the program accordingly.

If you also want to experience the thrill of gliding through the sky, now is the perfect time! Add an adrenaline-filled adventure to your holiday with the Side paragliding tour. Contact us now to make your reservation and take the first step into this unique adventure. See you in the skies!
