Tandem Paragliding Flight over Golfo dell'Asinara, Sardinia
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off the ridge is the sharpest adrenaline hit: ground disappears in seconds and the full panorama of the Golfo dell'Asinara opens up immediately below you. After that, the glide is smooth but the altitude keeps the rush going for the full 45 minutes.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A healthy respect for height is normal, but it doesn't disqualify you. Tandem paragliding removes every technical decision from your hands. Your pilot controls the glider, the speed and the landing. Your only job is to run a few steps at launch and sit back.
Is prior experience required?
None. The physical level is listed as "Occasionally sporty", meaning you'll need to jog a few steps at takeoff and hold a seated harness position for 45 minutes, but no training or fitness background is required beforehand.
What's the best time of year to fly over the Golfo dell'Asinara?
The season runs from May through September. July and August offer the most consistent thermal conditions over the Sardinian coast, but also the highest demand. Book early if you're targeting those months.
