Fethiye & Ölüdeniz Day Trip from Antalya with Paragliding
Escape Antalya’s bustle on a full-day tour: swim in the stunning Blue Lagoon, enjoy a tasty local lunch, explore Saklikent Gorge, and optionally soar above with thrilling paragliding.
Overview
Set off early in the morning from Antalya in a comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle and watch the scenic Turkish Riviera unfurl before you. The journey takes you westward through pine‑clad hills, toward Fethiye, where the legendary Blue Lagoon awaits. This stunning jewel of turquoise waters, framed by verdant mountains, is a photographer’s dream and a swimmer’s paradise.
At the lagoon, you’ll enjoy roughly two hours of free time—whether you choose to swim gently in the sheltered bay, sunbathe on the pebble beach, or simply bask in the views. For thrill-seekers, optional tandem paragliding (at extra cost) allows you to glide from Babadağ mountain, soaking in panoramic coastal views that few experiences can match.
Next, you’ll head to the vibrant Fethiye town, a charming blend of traditional markets and seaside cafés. Here, you’ll be treated to a delicious lunch at a local restaurant—think freshly prepared regional dishes served amid inviting natural surroundings.
Your final stop is the spectacular Saklikent Gorge, one of Turkey’s longest and most dramatic canyons. Walk along suspended wooden platforms above cool, rushing waters, peer up at towering limestone cliffs, and enjoy the chance to wade or dip into the icy stream below. This blend of geology and tranquility is both exhilarating and restorative.
You’ll return to Antalya in the early evening, filled with lasting memories, incredible photos, and a deep appreciation for Turkey’s natural wonders.

What an absolute rush! From the drive up the mountain to the gentle landing on Oludeniz Beach, the entire day felt like something out of a film. My pilot was calm and clearly experienced, which helped me relax. The views were honestly breathtaking. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

Never thought floating thousands of feet above the sea could feel so peaceful. It starts with a thrill, but once you're up there, it’s pure calm. The instructors are solid professionals.

The paragliding itself was amazing no doubt about that. So smooth in the air, and the landscape over the coast and mountains was unreal. I did feel the van ride was a bit long, but it was comfortable at least. Still, totally worth the drive.

Paragliding was something I always wanted to try. The flight was beautiful and not scary like I thought. However, there was some waiting time before we flew and I got a bit impatient. The beach landing was great though, and the pilots were very nice.

Incredible scenery, especially looking down over the blue water. The whole operation felt safe and well-organized. Only giving 4 stars because I would’ve liked more time to relax at the beach after the flight. Otherwise, everything was spot on.

Mixed feelings. The actual flying part is Incredible can’t argue with the views. The long drive and the prep time before we even got into the air felt a bit stretched. Maybe better if you’re really into the whole experience and not just the flight.

Honestly, this was the highlight of my trip to Turkey. Perfect weather, fantastic crew, and a view I’ll never forget. I’m glad I trusted them the safety brief made me feel ready, and once we took off, all the nerves disappeared.

This wasn’t just an activity, it was an crazy experience! The climb to Babadag was just as epic as the flight. Up in the sky, I forgot about everything and just enjoyed the view. Great team, no pressure, just a smooth glide over paradise.

The flight itself was smooth and beautiful. I felt very safe with the instructor and even managed to relax enough to enjoy the silence up there. I just wish the journey back to Antalya was a bit shorter, but that’s the price for such a great view.
