Activity description
Experience the island of Lefkada, the famous Kathisma beach's turquoise waters and the green forests, all from above.
A tandem paragliding flight is the best way to have your first flying experience. Harnessed to an experienced instructor, you will have the chance to admire the incredible views while sitting back, relaxed.
When you meet your tandem pilot, he will explain the equipment, safety procedures and the steps for takeoff and landing. Once everything is clear you will receive your harness and helmet and help your instructor set up the paraglider.
Then, with a gentle pull of the handles, you will feel the canopy catch the wind and inflate. Take a few quick steps and before you know it you will be flying! Now all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the view!
Depending on the wind, the tandem flight can last up to 40 mins: a solid sea breeze perpendicular to the cliffs is usually ideal for dynamic flying, i.e. using the wind and cliff to stay longer in the air.
