Tandem Paragliding Flight over Rhodes
Frequently asked questions
What is the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch from Monte Smith is the sharpest adrenaline spike: you run a few steps and the wing lifts you off the ridge instantly. Once airborne, the flight levels into steady thermal gliding above the coastline.
Do you need to be fit or sporty to join?
No. The physicalLevel is listed as 'Everybody welcome', so there are no fitness prerequisites. Your tandem pilot handles all the technical work during the 1-hour flight.
Is 200 € the total price per person?
Yes. The listed price is 200 € per person for the full tandem flight. Confirm what is included when booking directly with Stay on Rhodes.
When is the best time to fly in Rhodes?
The season runs from May to September. Summer afternoons generate strong thermals off the hillside, which extend flight time and altitude gain. Morning slots tend to offer smoother, calmer air.
