We had another amazing time overall! The only issue was the long delay at the start we waited nearly an hour after the scheduled time before things got going, which left us a bit irritated. But once it began, everything ran smoothly and the rest of the experience made up for it.

I had my tandem flight with someone named Nemp, while my 12-year-old son flew with Burat. The entire experience was fantastic from beginning to end. We started with a briefing session and then took a short 15-minute drive to the launch site. Within about 10 minutes, we were ready to take off. The scenery was breathtaking, and the team helped us feel completely comfortable. After landing, we were welcomed back at the office with complimentary drinks and got to view our photos and videos. We decided to purchase all of them. Huge thanks for a wonderful day!

I booked this last minute, literally two hours before it started, and I’m so glad I did! I’d never done anything like this before, and it totally blew me away. The instructors were clear, spoke great English, and made me feel completely at ease. A 10/10 kind of day would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Helpful? Yes

Everything went perfectly, from the hotel pick-up to the return trip. The pilots were excellent, and the flight itself was absolutely beautiful. I’m definitely planning to do this again next year.

Helpful? Yes

It was an amazing experience. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. George and the other instructor were fantastic! The only things I’d suggest improving are the flight duration and the cost of photos and videos. The flight lasted about 10 minutes, and I found the price for photos and videos a bit too steep. In the end, I bought them anyway, but a lower price would be better. Overall, it was a great experience, and for anyone still on the fence just go for it!

Helpful? Yes

Everything went smoothly after the briefing, we took off and it was fantastic. I felt a bit uneasy with the height once we reached the top, but the instructor was very experienced and cheerful, which made me feel confident and enjoy the whole flight. We did have to wait about an hour back at the office, though.

Helpful? Yes

Hi, this was a really great activity with stunning views. The service was professional from start to finish. You immediately sense the expertise of the team. After a brief set of instructions, you’re up in the air taking in the amazing panorama. We even had some clouds during the flight, which made it even more special. I definitely recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

The trip was absolutely amazing. Honestly, I was so scared that I got dizzy while standing at the top of the mountain.

This was one of those unforgettable experiences that stay with you forever! My instructor had amazing energy and a calm presence. He explained everything clearly and made me feel completely safe from the start. When he noticed how much I was enjoying the flight, he even extended the time we spent in the air to let me take it all in.

Helpful? Yes

George and the other instructor (whose name I can’t remember) were fantastic! The only things I’d suggest improving are the flight duration and the price of the photos and videos. The flight lasted around 10 minutes, and €80 for the photos and videos felt a bit high, though I bought them anyway. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s still hesitating—just go for it!

Helpful? Yes

Helpful? Yes

Sikmet was an incredible pilot, and we went very high in the sky, enjoying the views and listening to music. You really feel how amazing life is. Definitely the best money I’ve ever spent, and it’s not scary at all—so go for it!

Helpful? Yes

I went today with my boyfriend. The transfer and staff were very friendly and welcoming. My guide was excellent, and I felt completely safe while enjoying the beautiful view of Alanya from above. The only downside was that the photos and videos felt a bit overpriced, but otherwise everything was wonderful.

Helpful? Yes

We had a great paragliding experience with our two pilots, Hikmet and Mehmet, who were true professionals and made us feel completely at ease. One concern was the transport to the jump site: it felt unsafe, with high speeds, no seatbelts, and the driver using his phone on very dangerous roads. This really needs attention, as the transport felt more extreme than the paragliding itself.

Helpful? Yes

Paragliding was so much fun! It was my first time, and my pilot/instructor, Eric, made me feel completely relaxed. I would definitely highly recommend this experience!

Helpful? Yes

Absolutely indescribable—if you enjoy extreme sports, this is a must-try. The only downside is that the photos, videos, and 360° shots are quite expensive, and many of them are repeated.

Helpful? Yes

It was absolutely amazing! My pilot, Hikmet, was very reassuring and made the whole experience so much fun. Incredible value for money, and I 1000% recommend it.

Helpful? Yes

Everything was fantastic! The pilots were highly skilled and very reliable. The extreme maneuvers over the sea were so much fun. We would recommend this experience to everyone. The views were breathtaking, and we were very happy with everything. Such an incredible experience for the price! We trusted our pilots completely, and they explained all details about the area and the flight. Highly recommended—views like that are simply amazing!

Helpful? Yes

The experience itself was beautiful, but the transfer was terrible and very dangerous. We rode in an old car up the mountain with too many people, which felt like a kamikaze ride. The paraglider didn’t speak any English, so communication was impossible. Additionally, the office we departed from was quite messy.

Helpful? Yes

One issue impacted our experience: When we entered the studio to lock up our belongings, a gentleman with long, tied-back hair, apparently responsible for handling cash and photo fees, suddenly demanded 300 lira for entry. We received no information about this fee from the Smile Paragliding contact team online or via WhatsApp. When I asked why, he became angry and argumentative, which was completely unprofessional.

Helpful? Yes

The activity itself was great, but the staff were not very friendly. The photos and videos were extremely expensive—€50 per person—and not very accommodating. I only received a 2-minute video and lots of photos, while my husband had the entire flight recorded. When I mentioned it, they said that’s just how it is and that the photos make up for it.

Helpful? Yes

Our guides were very nice, and we felt safe the entire time. The time at the top was quite short—around 10 minutes. There were also far too many photos taken at the top. They offered videos for €50, and we ended up with 107 pictures per person. Still, you can’t really complain considering the price.

Helpful? Yes

The paragliding experience itself was amazing and definitely recommended!

Helpful? Yes

The experience itself was absolutely wonderful and worth every penny, even though I was quite scared at first. The transport from the hotel to Alanya and the drive up the mountain, however, was a complete disaster—I would never get on that bus with the reckless driver again. I also regretted not having a picture of the experience, but €50–70 for photos and a few videos felt like a rip-off. Plus, what do you even do with 200 photos?!

Helpful? Yes

It was nice overall. I would have preferred a bit more action instead of just standing in place. There were a few turns over the sea, which stopped when I requested.

Helpful? Yes

We loved every single moment. It was our first time paragliding, and the pilots were fantastic. The director kept us well informed before the activity. We felt safe the entire time and had lots of laughs too! Highly recommended.

Helpful? Yes

We were picked up on time and taken to their office, where we were introduced to the rules and paid an extra €20 per person. Drinks were available there. Then we drove up to the top of the mountain, where the view was stunning. All the pilots were highly professional and even taught us how to try controlling the paraglider for a short time. The €80 per person for photos and videos felt a bit expensive, but overall it was a truly memorable experience.

Helpful? Yes

Amazing experience! The guides were very friendly and reassuring, providing clear instructions throughout. During the flight, your guide will check if you want to make it more extreme. The views were beautiful, and the flight was thrilling. I would definitely recommend it!

Helpful? Yes

The entire experience was incredible! From the ride up to the cliff, to the take-off and the gliding, everything was amazing. Highly recommend. George and the team made it perfect!

Helpful? Yes

I really enjoyed the paragliding, though there was a bit too much waiting around before the jump. The prices for photos and videos were very high, and it would be better if they allowed purchasing individual photos instead of only whole packages.
