Enjoy a paragliding flight from Lagos while discovering the beautiful landscapes of the Algarve from up high. You won't regret it!

Enjoy your first paragliding experience with a scenic flight over the stunning landscapes of Lagos and the Algarve coastline. From beaches and cliffs to valleys and rolling hills, this is a unique way to take in southern Portugal’s natural beauty — between sea and mountains.

The tandem paraglider is designed to carry two people: you, the passenger, and your certified instructor. No previous experience or physical preparation is required. After a short run to take off, you’ll be securely seated in a harness, right in front of your pilot, and free to enjoy the incredible sensation of flying for up to 15 minutes.

Your instructor will take care of all the technical aspects while guiding you through the skies and pointing out the best views. You can also ask any questions along the way — your pilot is a local and loves sharing insights about the region.

This is the perfect first step for anyone curious to discover paragliding in a safe, relaxed, and truly memorable way.
