Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of a tandem paragliding flight?
The launch. You go from standing on a hillside to airborne in seconds, with the Mediterranean coast opening up beneath you. After that, the flight smooths out into sustained gliding over the coastline.
Do you need to be fit or athletic to fly?
Yes. Most tours are listed as 'Everybody welcome', meaning no physical prerequisites. You're strapped to a certified pilot for the entire flight.
What's the longest flight available?
The two Doyouwanna tandem flights over Agost and Santa Pola both run 2 hours. These are the longest options available in the current 6-tour lineup.
Is it safe to fly even if you're afraid of heights?
Fear of heights on the ground doesn't always translate to fear in the air. In a paraglider, there's no sudden drop and no glass floor: you're simply suspended, moving forward. Most first-timers report the sensation as calmer than expected once airborne.
When is the best time of year to fly in Alicante?
The season runs from May to September. Summer months offer the most stable thermals and the clearest skies over the Costa Blanca.
Which site gives the best views: Agost or Santa Pola?
Santa Pola launches over the coastline and the salt lagoons of the natural park, giving you a direct view over the Mediterranean. Agost is more inland, with views over the dry Valencian plateau. Both are striking in different ways.
