Guided by a certified pilot, you’ll glide safely through the air, enjoying sweeping views of the coast during a 20–30 minute flight, with no previous experience required.

While your instructor handles the technical side of the flight, you can focus on the thrill of soaring and admiring the cliffs, long sandy beaches, and the Atlantic Ocean beneath you. Please note that due to air traffic regulations, flights do not pass directly over Lisbon’s city center but instead follow the coastline for the best views.

The departure point for your paragliding experience near Lisbon will depend on the weather conditions of the day. Your instructor and their team will choose the safest and most suitable site, with possible take-off spots including Praia Grande, Sesimbra or Arrábida. Once your booking is confirmed, the pilot will contact you directly to arrange the exact meeting time and location. All take-off sites are accessible by public transport, except for Arrábida, which requires a car. Convenient parking is always available close to the departure areas.
