Tandem Paragliding in Alanya with Professional Licensed Pilots

Feel the wind above Cleopatra Beach. This tandem flight gives you a thrilling view of Alanya from the air, with a licensed pilot handling the equipment while you focus on the coast below. I like the hotel pickup and the chance to choose from as many as nine daily departure times. I also like that the flight includes insurance, an air-conditioned vehicle, and a private booking for your group.

The main drawback is the extra cost at the flight site, listed as €20, plus possible charges for photos and videos. The advertised price is $58.81 per person, but you should confirm exactly what is included, especially if you need a transfer beyond the free 20-kilometer area.

Key points before you book

• Takeoff near Alanya’s hills: You travel by vehicle to the flight point above Kleopatra Beach, then launch with your pilot.
• Strong views over the city: The flight gives you a broad look at Cleopatra Beach, Alanya, and the surrounding coast from above.
• Up to nine departures daily: Several time choices make it easier to fit the flight around a beach day or sightseeing.
• Free transfer up to 20 kilometers: Pickup and return are offered from central Alanya locations within the stated distance.
• Bring the right basics: Wear sports shoes and comfortable clothes, and pack sunglasses and water.
• Check photo prices first: Photos, 360-degree images, and videos may cost extra and have been a source of disappointment for some customers.

Flying above Cleopatra Beach in Alanya

Tandem paragliding is one of the simplest ways to try free flight. You do not need to pilot the canopy yourself. A trained pilot sits behind you, manages the launch and flight, and guides the landing while you take in the view.

The setting is the main attraction. Kleopatra Beach, known locally as Kleopatra Plajı, curves along Alanya’s western side below the hills. From the air, you can see the beach, the city, and a wide section of the coast in one sweep. It is a very different way to understand Alanya than from street level.

The listed activity lasts about one hour, though that includes the transfer, check-in, briefing, and return to the meeting point. The actual time in the air is not stated, so do not treat the full one-hour duration as flight time.

You meet at Pars Paragliding in the Kızlar Pınarı area, at Fatihler Street near Health Center No. 4. The company also gives hotel pickup and drop-off from central locations, with free transfers up to 20 kilometers. If your hotel is farther away, ask about the transfer before paying, since the free-distance limit matters.

From hotel pickup to the mountain launch

The outing begins with pickup or arrival at the Pars Paragliding office. The stated address is Kızlar Pınarı, Çalıcılar Street No. 12, apartment 4. Another pickup description gives Fatihler Street No. 12/A, opposite Health Center No. 4, so use the company’s latest directions when arranging your meeting.

At the office, you complete check-in and private health insurance procedures. That insurance is included in the tour price, according to the provided details. This is a useful part of the process because it confirms that the activity is organized as a proper tandem flight rather than an informal beach attraction.

You then travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to the flight point with the pilots. The vehicle is included, and a family booking described the mountain transfer as comfortable. Another customer praised a private vehicle with entertainment inside, though that type of vehicle should not be assumed for every departure.

The pilot gives you a briefing during the trip. Pay close attention to the instructions about the launch and landing. You will need to understand when to move, how to position yourself, and what to do when the pilot gives directions.

The flight point is reached by vehicle at the top of the mountain area. One detailed account described a launch from roughly 700 meters, but the exact height may depend on the flight conditions and route that day. The launch itself is part of the adventure, but the pilot controls the important decisions.

What the flight feels like

The experience begins with a running launch. You move forward with the pilot until the canopy catches the air. Once airborne, the hard work is mostly over, and you can settle into the tandem position.

For many people, the first few seconds are the most nerve-racking. That is where a calm pilot matters. Several customers praised the pilots for making the flight feel safe and comfortable, with particular thanks given to Huseyin Isik. The praise focused on smooth takeoffs, controlled landings, friendly instruction, and a professional manner.

You should expect an open-air ride rather than a fast amusement attraction. The appeal is the height, the quiet movement, and the view over Alanya. Some flights may feel gentle, while others may bring more adrenaline depending on the conditions and the pilot’s route.

The listed stop is Kleopatra Beach. The activity information does not promise aerobatic maneuvers, extended airtime, or a set flight path. That is a good reason to book this for the view and the feeling of flight, not for a guaranteed stunt show.

The landing is described positively in the available comments, including one account that praised a particularly smooth landing. Your pilot will manage the approach, but you still need to follow the landing instructions carefully.

The views from 700 meters

The view is the strongest reason to choose this activity. From the launch area, Alanya opens out below you. Cleopatra Beach provides an obvious reference point, while the city spreads inland and along the coast.

You may find the flight especially useful if you have already spent time on the beach and want a different angle on the area. From the ground, Alanya can feel like a collection of beaches, roads, hotels, and hills. From the air, those pieces connect into one clear picture.

The flight also gives you a memorable way to mark a special occasion. One family booking included two children, ages five and fourteen, and the company arranged a birthday cake for the younger child. The information does not establish a general minimum age or guarantee a cake, so families should confirm those details before booking.

The view comes with a practical tradeoff. Bright sun, wind, and height can make sunglasses useful, but you should secure them well. The company specifically tells you to bring sunglasses and a bottle of water.

What to wear and bring

You should dress for movement and wind. The company asks you to wear comfortable clothing and sports shoes. Avoid arriving in sandals or restrictive clothing, since the launch and landing require you to move when instructed.

Bring:

• Sunglasses
• A bottle of water
• Comfortable clothes
• Sports shoes

The company may control the use of phones and cameras during the flight. One unhappy customer reported being told not to carry a phone or personal camera because devices could interfere with the activity. That same account described photo and video prices being presented at the end rather than clearly at the start.

This is the most important practical warning in the entire booking. Ask before takeoff:

• Can you carry your phone?
• Are photos included?
• What does the photo package cost?
• What does the 360-degree package cost?
• Are videos priced separately?

The reported prices were €30 for photos, €30 for 360-degree panoramic photos, and €30 for two videos, or €70 for all three. These charges came from one customer’s account, so confirm the current prices directly. Do not assume that the $58.81 activity price includes any media.

Price, transfers, and what the $58.81 covers

At $58.81 per person, the package looks reasonable for a private tandem activity that includes the paragliding flight, insurance, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Hotel pickup adds real value, especially if you are staying in central Alanya and do not want to find the office on your own.

The price is less straightforward once you add the €20 entry charge for the paragliding location. That fee is listed separately and is not included in the advertised rate. You should include it in your actual budget rather than treating the headline price as the final cost.

The free transfer area extends up to 20 kilometers. This is generous for many central Alanya stays, but the exact location of your hotel still matters. A separate account described a transfer from about 60 kilometers away and a much higher total ticket price of €105. That may reflect a different arrangement, distance, or booking price, but it shows why you should confirm the pickup terms before committing.

The experience is private, meaning only your own group participates. That does not necessarily mean the vehicle or launch area will be exclusive, but it does mean you are not placed into a shared tour group for the activity itself.

Timing and flexibility in Alanya

The company offers up to nine flights each day. This is useful because weather, heat, and your wider plans can affect how enjoyable the outing feels. You can select a time that works around lunch, beach time, or an evening walk through Alanya.

The exact flight schedule and pickup time should be confirmed directly. The transfer instructions ask you to consider the stated passenger transfer hours and contact the company for the correct time, ideally by the previous day if possible. That is sound advice, since transport timing can change with other activities and flight conditions.

Weather controls the day. Paragliding cannot run safely in poor conditions, and the booking terms allow a new date or a full refund if the company cancels because of weather. You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Changes or cancellations inside that period are not accepted for a refund.

Safety and the role of the pilot

A tandem paragliding flight depends heavily on the pilot. Here, the company describes its pilots as trained and professionally licensed, and the strongest praise centers on how safe and relaxed the pilots make the flight feel.

Huseyin Isik is named in one especially positive account. Other comments praise the team as professional, friendly, and experienced. One family described feeling cared for throughout the mountain transfer and flight, while another highlighted the pilot’s controlled takeoff and landing.

You should still treat this as an active adventure. The insurance is included, but insurance does not remove the need to follow instructions. Tell the staff about any health concerns during check-in, wear the requested shoes, and listen closely to the briefing.

The activity states that most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. It is also near public transportation, though pickup is offered from central locations. The supplied information does not give detailed medical restrictions, weight limits, or age limits, so ask the company directly if any of those points affect you.

Who should book this flight?

I would recommend this for you if you want a short, high-impact activity with major views and limited planning. It suits first-time flyers who prefer to let a licensed pilot handle the technical work. The private format also works well for couples, families, or friends who want to share the same outing.

It is a good fit for people who are comfortable with heights and a running launch. If you dislike exposure, wind, or the feeling of leaving the ground, the same features that make this exciting may make it uncomfortable.

Families can consider it, since a family of four that included children ages five and fourteen completed the activity. Still, you should confirm the current child rules before booking, because the general information does not state a formal minimum age.

I would be more cautious if you are choosing this mainly for included photographs. The flight price does not clearly include media, and the extra charges can change the value quickly. Ask for the current photo rates in writing or at least confirm them at check-in.

Should you book Pars Paragliding?

Book it if your priority is a professionally managed tandem flight, strong views over Cleopatra Beach, easy central pickup, and flexible daily departure times. The $58.81 price is appealing when you add the included insurance, vehicle, and private-group format, but remember the separate €20 site fee.

Before you go, confirm the pickup distance, exact meeting time, current photo prices, and what you may carry during the flight. If those costs are clear and the weather cooperates, Pars Paragliding offers a memorable way to see Alanya from above without needing any previous paragliding experience.
