Fethiye Paragliding

Fethiye paragliding is a tandem flight with breathtaking views from 6500 ft (1960 m) that lasts between 30 to 35 minutes.

Paragliding in Fethiye is a unique gift for yourself, loved ones or friends. Get off the ground, see the world from a dizzying height, soar freely like a bird on the rising air currents over the mountains. You've probably seen these breathtaking videos many times on social media, but it always hasn't been you. But it can be you right now!

Even if you have never done it before, experience is not necessary. And flying is not as scary as it sounds. Surprisingly, it is sometimes the most fearful people who dare to fly. There are around 1000 flights a day from Babadag Peak in Oludeniz. The Oludeniz area in Fethiye is famous not only for its crystal clear sea, but also for Babadag Peak (1969 metres), which is very close to the sea.

The location and terrain of the mountains and the scenic beauty of the area have made it one of the centres of world paragliding. Oludeniz also attracts paragliders from all over the world with its excellent facilities and services for this sport. So let's go to Babadag for paragliding. Our driver in a comfortable car will pick you up at the hotel at the agreed time.

Before the flight you will be briefed and equipped. The jump is performed in tandem with a pilot. Before the jump your accompanying pilot will check the readiness of equipment. Duration of the flight is about 30-35 min. Altitude depends on weather conditions; the pilot will decide from which platform the jump will take place, however, all launch sites are located between 1659 and 1960 meters.

You can request a photo and video for the flight and if you do not like the photos or videos you do not have to pay for them. After the paragliding session we will also take you back to your hotel. Both transfers, flight, equipment, briefing, pilot escort and insurance are included in the price of the tour. Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Go for it!

Nothing compares to the view  of this area from above. Fethiye and the surrounding areas of Olu Deniz and Hisaronu are renowned for their natural unspoiled beauty.  This coastline of the Mediterranean has been unspoiled for centuries.  Fethiye was once known as Telmessos and suffered an earthquake that dramatically changed the town landscape.  Fortunately, due to one man who dreamed and foretold of such an event, most of the population survived.  The town became renamed, Fethiye, in his honour, and the re building of the town began. 

Today, it is dualfold,  not only is Fethiye a thriving holiday resort but it is also a year round working, Turkish town.  To holiday or even just visit Fethiye, is to experience modern Turkey at its finest. The skyline is intermittently dominated by Baba Dag Mountain (translating as Father Mountain) it is the highest point visible  in the distance over this region.  It is from Baba Dag that you begin your descending flight, landing on the beach of nearby Oludeniz.  Indeed as you land you look down upon the sunbathers, they will no doubt be looking up at you, in amazement and awe.

At its highest point Baba Dag is an unsurprising 1969 metres!  You can experience the most amazing views, not only of the smaller mountains that cascade down to the shoreline, but the valleys hidden from view at sea level, down to the ‘Blue Lagoon’ of Olu Deniz, where you land, nearby.  This natural phenomenon is where the salt water meets the fresh water of the lagoon, causing a high level of saline enabling the body to float easily in its waters.  Hence its name of ‘dead sea’.  An ideal place to learn to swim if you havent already. 

The colours of the azure Mediterranean and the emerald green of the forestry that seem to grow right to the waters edge, will enchant you along every part of your journey.
