Tandem Paragliding in Alanya with Professional Licensed Pilots

Alanya’s best views arrive with a burst of speed, a steep mountain launch, and a quiet glide above Cleopatra Beach. This tandem flight lets you enjoy the ride beside a licensed pilot, so you do not need prior paragliding skill. I like the hotel pickup and the air-conditioned transfer, and I like that the company can run up to nine flights a day.

The main catch is cost clarity. The listed price is $58.81 per person, but you still pay a €20 entry fee, and photographs or videos may cost extra. One past booking also reported a much higher total for a longer hotel transfer, so I would confirm every charge before you leave the office.

Key points at a glance

• You fly above Cleopatra Beach: The main view is Alanya’s famous beach, city, and coast from the air.
• A licensed pilot handles the flight: Huseyin Isik is one pilot specifically praised for making the ride feel safe and smooth.
• Hotel pickup is included within 20 kilometers: You can arrange front-door pickup from a central Alanya location.
• You receive insurance and a briefing: Check-in includes private health insurance procedures and a flight explanation.
• Up to nine departures run each day: This gives you useful choice when fitting the flight around beach time or other plans.
• Photos and videos may cost extra: Ask for the complete media price before takeoff, not after landing.

From Pars Paragliding office to the mountain launch

Your day begins at the Pars Paragliding office in Kizlar Pinari, at Fatihler Sk. No. 12/A, opposite Health Center No. 4. Another address supplied for the company is Çalıcılar Sk. No. 12, D.4, also in Kizlar Pinari. Because the information gives two office descriptions, I would use the company’s transfer instructions rather than simply walking to an address found elsewhere.

If you qualify for pickup, the company collects you from a central Alanya location. Free transfer is offered up to 20 kilometers. The vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters on a hot day when you are heading uphill in sports clothes and carrying little more than water and sunglasses.

At the office, you complete check-in and the private health insurance procedure. The pilots then explain what will happen during the flight. This is an important part of the outing. You are not expected to understand the equipment or manage the flight alone, but you should listen closely to the takeoff and landing instructions.

The transfer continues by vehicle to the flight point. One family described the ride as comfortable and air-conditioned, while another booking praised a VIP vehicle with music and a television. Vehicle type can vary, so I would treat the VIP features as possible rather than guaranteed.

Launching above Cleopatra Beach

The stated stop is Kleopatra Plajı, the Turkish name for Cleopatra Beach. The company describes the flight as a way to see the beach and Alanya from above, with a takeoff point on the mountain and a landing below. One account refers to an altitude of about 700 meters, giving you a useful sense of the height involved.

The exact flight time is not specified, and the full activity lasts about one hour. That hour includes pickup, check-in, road transfer, briefing, flight, and return to the meeting point, so do not assume you will spend sixty minutes in the air.

Tandem paragliding is a practical choice if you want the thrill without taking a course. You sit or run with your pilot during launch, then let the pilot control the paraglider. The accounts supplied describe calm flights, firm takeoffs, and good landings. One pilot was praised for making the ride feel safe, while Huseyin Isik received a specific thank-you for a smooth and exciting flight.

The views are the real reason to book. From the air, you can look across Cleopatra Beach, Alanya’s city, and the coast in one sweep. I would choose this over a standard viewpoint if you want a stronger sense of height and motion, though a normal lookout is better for lingering, taking your own photos, and avoiding the price of an adventure activity.

What the flight feels like for first-timers

You do not need to present yourself as an adrenaline expert. The company says most people can participate, and the pilot remains responsible for the flight. A family with children aged five and fourteen described feeling cared for, but the supplied information does not give a formal minimum age, maximum weight, or medical restriction. If those details matter to you, ask Pars Paragliding before booking.

Your clothing makes a difference. Wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes. Avoid loose sandals or anything that could make a short run and landing awkward. Take sunglasses, since you will be looking outward from an exposed position, and bring a bottle of water for the transfer and time around the launch site.

The flight can be exciting without being frightening. One person specifically described being able to relax because the instructor made the process feel comfortable. That is the right expectation: you may feel a strong rush at takeoff, followed by a more peaceful glide, but the pilot sets the pace.

If you dislike heights, this may not become your favorite hour in Alanya. The company presents the activity as an adrenaline sport, not a gentle sightseeing ride. You should also remember that weather controls the schedule. A poor-weather cancellation brings the choice of a different date or a full refund.

A private outing with flexible departure times

This is a private activity, meaning only your own group participates. That is useful for families, couples, and friends who want to stay together instead of joining a large mixed group. It can also make the office and transfer process feel less rushed, though the flight still depends on the company’s daily schedule and weather.

Up to nine flights depart each day. That flexibility is one of the strongest practical features. You can select a time that fits your plans, but you should not assume that any chosen slot is automatically convenient for hotel pickup. The company asks you to check transfer timing, especially if you have another activity scheduled.

The activity begins and ends at the meeting point. If you use hotel pickup, the vehicle returns you after the flight. The information describes front-door pickup and drop-off from central locations, with free transfer up to 20 kilometers. For hotels farther away, ask about the transport charge before confirming.

This arrangement works well if you are staying in Alanya and want a compact morning or afternoon activity. It is less straightforward if you are based about 60 kilometers away. One past booking paid for transport from that distance and reported a total of €105 per ticket. That may reflect a different package, date, or transfer arrangement, but it is a useful warning to confirm the price for your own hotel.

The €58.81 price and the costs beyond it

At $58.81 per person, the advertised rate looks reasonable for a private tandem flight with pilot, insurance, vehicle transfer, and hotel pickup within 20 kilometers. It becomes better value if you share the transfer with family or friends and care more about the flight than about add-ons.

The €20 entry charge is not included. Add that to the advertised price when comparing this activity with other things to do in Alanya. Currency conversion will also change the final amount on your card.

Media is the other point to settle early. The information does not include photos or videos in the base package. One past booking reported being asked after the flight to pay €30 for photos, €30 for 360-degree panoramic photos, or €30 for two videos, with all three offered for €70. The same booking described the prices as unclear because they were shown only at the end.

That account does not prove every booking follows the same pricing. Still, I would ask three direct questions before you get in the vehicle:

• Is the €20 entry fee per person?
• What is the exact price of photos, videos, and 360-degree images?
• Can I decline the media package without affecting the flight?

The company may produce excellent memories. Several accounts praised the photos and videos, and one family said the media gave them lasting holiday memories. You just want the choice and price in writing before takeoff.

Safety, insurance, and the role of the pilot

The package includes paragliding, insurance, and an air-conditioned vehicle. Check-in includes private health insurance procedures, which gives the activity a useful layer of reassurance. The pilots are described as trained and professionally licensed.

That does not make paragliding risk-free. You are still taking part in an air sport, so follow every instruction and tell the staff about any health concern before the flight. The supplied information says most people can participate, but it does not list detailed medical, age, or weight rules.

The strongest praise is directed at the pilots. Huseyin Isik is singled out for making the ride smooth, safe, and enjoyable. Other comments describe professional instructors, a good takeoff, and a clean landing. Those are the details I would value most, since a beautiful view matters less if the ground team is hurried or unclear.

Your own task is simple but important: wear proper shoes, listen at the briefing, keep your belongings secure, and do not bring a phone expecting to use it freely in the air. One account said phones and cameras were not allowed during the flight because they could interfere with the activity. Confirm the current rule, especially if you want to take your own photos.

Who should book this Alanya flight?

I would recommend this for you if you want a major holiday memory in a short time. It suits first-timers, couples, families, and anyone who prefers an organized activity with pickup rather than arranging transport to a mountain launch point.

It is also a good fit if you want a different view of Alanya than the beach, castle area, or city streets can provide. The flight gives you height, motion, and a broad view of Cleopatra Beach without requiring a multi-day course.

Families should ask about the child policy before paying. A family group with children aged five and fourteen flew with the company and reported a positive experience, but that does not replace a current age rule. The information confirms that service animals are allowed and that the meeting point is near public transportation.

I would hesitate if you are on a tight budget and want an all-inclusive price. The entry fee is extra, media may cost more, and distant hotel transfers may change the total. I would also hesitate if the weather forecast is uncertain and your schedule has no room for a new date.

Booking advice and cancellation terms

You receive confirmation at booking. Free cancellation applies if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes or cancellations made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund.

Bad weather is handled differently. If the company cancels because conditions are poor, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. Since weather affects flying, I would avoid placing this activity on the final few hours of your holiday.

Contact the company about transfer timing if you are booking close to another activity. The pickup table may need adjustment, and the company asks you to confirm the time rather than assuming it will fit your day.

Should you book Pars Paragliding?

Book it if the thought of gliding above Cleopatra Beach excites you, you want a licensed pilot beside you, and you are comfortable confirming extra charges before the trip. The $58.81 starting price includes the core service, insurance, and vehicle, while the up-to-nine-departures schedule makes it easier to fit the flight into an Alanya stay.

I would book only after confirming the €20 entry fee, hotel distance, and media prices. If you want the flight itself, this looks like a strong choice, with repeated praise for calm instruction, safe-feeling takeoffs, and good landings. If you mainly want photos, ask for the media package in advance so the final bill does not surprise you.
