Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch from La Mussara is the peak adrenaline point: you run a few steps off the ridge and the ground drops away immediately. After that, the flight settles into a long glide above the Tarragona landscape.
Do you need to know how to fly to do this?
No. These are tandem flights with certified pilots. You control nothing and the physical level for the 100 € flight is listed as everybody welcome, including people with no prior experience.
How long does the experience last?
The 100 € flight from Arbolí lasts 1h total, while the 161.45 € tour from Salou focuses on a 20 min flight time. Both provide significant altitude gain depending on the day's thermals.
How early should you book?
July and August are peak season. With only 2 tours available in this area, slots fill fast. Book at least 2 weeks in advance during summer months to secure your preferred date.
