Honestly, I was a bit nervous at first, but the moment we took off, I felt completely at ease. The views over Fethiye were out of this world. My pilot was super friendly and kept chatting throughout the flight, which helped calm the nerves. 10/10 would do it again.

The flight was absolutely the highlight of my trip. My pilot made me feel very safe and relaxed, and the views—wow. Floating above the sea and hills was unforgettable. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because we had to wait a while before it was our turn to fly. It seemed a bit disorganized at the take-off site. That said, once in the air, all was forgiven!
Helpful? Yes
The paragliding was epic. From takeoff to landing, I felt secure and amazed at everything I saw below. It's such a unique way to experience Turkey. I knocked off a star only because the whole experience took more time than expected. Between the drive, waiting for your turn, and the return trip, it turned into almost a full-day activity. Just something to keep in mind—but totally worth doing!

Helpful? Yes
The flight itself was beautiful and the scenery over Fethiye is really something else. That part was amazing. But I felt like the whole thing was a bit rushed—minimal time for questions, and everything happened super quickly once we arrived. I would have appreciated a little more explanation or even just time to take it all in before we jumped into it. It’s still worth doing, but I expected a bit more from the experience.
Helpful? Yes
Paragliding was something I’ve always wanted to try, and the actual flight didn’t disappoint—it’s a surreal experience being up there. But the pick-up was late, and the drive to the launch site took longer than expected. Also, communication could have been better throughout the day. I did enjoy the flight, but I wish the overall organization matched the quality of the flying.
