Paraglide from the summit of Babadağ over the turquoise lagoon of Ölüdeniz
Three launches, one landing
Babadağ has three launch platforms. The day’s wind and your preference decide which one you fly from; every flight lands in the same place, Belcekız beach.
We do not hide the price: the standard tandem flight is 6,500 TL per person. Photo and video are not included; if you want them, you pay the pilot US$35 per person on the day. Ask us about the summit flight.
Take off from the 1,700 m platform on Babadağ, fly over the Ölüdeniz lagoon and land on Belcekız beach. This is the standard flight for first-timers. Before take-off your pilot asks which you prefer: acrobatic manoeuvres, or a calm flight.
Photos and video filmed by your pilot during the flight. It is not sold with the flight itself; if you want it, you pay the pilot US$35 per person on the day. Delivered digitally after landing.
Not included in the flight. If you want it, US$35 per person, paid to the pilot on the day.

Briefing
Your pilot fits your harness and talks you through take-off and landing.
4
Take-off
There is no jump. You run 2–3 steps together with your pilot and glide off; once the wing lifts you, you sit back in the harness.
5
The flight
Before take-off your pilot asks: acrobatic manoeuvres for adrenaline, or a calm flight. A normal flight is 20–30 minutes, acro 15–20.
6
Landing
On Belcekız beach. Your pilot tells you what to do in the last few metres. The minibus that drove you up collects you from the beach and drops you back at your hotel.

Back to your hotel
Payment is made on the day of the flight.

The pilot decides whether we fly
If wind, visibility or thermals are not right, the flight does not happen. We move you to another time or another day, and refund you if neither works.
Every flight is flown by a tandem pilot licensed under civil aviation rules.
Wings and harnesses are inspected on the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule; out-of-date equipment does not fly.
Mandatory personal accident insurance is arranged for every passenger.
The pilot makes the flight decision. If wind, visibility or thermal conditions are unsuitable, the flight does not happen — that call is not negotiable.
A reserve parachute is standard on every tandem system.

No. On a tandem flight you fly with a licensed pilot who controls the wing. All you do is run a few steps at take-off.
Is there an age or weight limit?
We take passengers from 4 years old and there is no upper age limit; guests aged 90 have flown with us. Written parental or guardian consent is required under 16. The weight limit, however, is strict for safety: 100 kg for men and 80 kg for women.
What happens if the weather is not suitable?
The flight does not happen. If wind or visibility is unsuitable we move you to another time or another day, and refund you if neither works. The pilot makes this call and it is not negotiable.
If I cancel, is my payment refunded?
If you cancel one day before the flight, a refund is possible. Cancelling on the day, a few hours before the flight, is not valid and is not refunded. If the weather stops the flight, you are moved to another time or day, and refunded if neither works.
Can a non-flying companion come to the mountain?
Yes. A non-flying companion (for example your spouse) can ride the minibus up the mountain with you. The seat is charged, because it could otherwise carry a flying passenger; ask us for the amount. They can also take the Babadağ cable car with their own ticket: the 2026 return fare is 950 TL, or 700 TL for students.
Do I have to jump?
No, there is no jumping. You and your pilot run 2–3 steps together and glide off.
Can I bring my phone on the flight?
Yes. You can bring your phone and wallet; they are kept in the pilot’s large bag during the flight and handed back to you after landing.
Should I eat before the flight?
Eat something light. Passengers with a fear of heights, or who get stressed during the flight, may feel sick and vomit.
How long is the flight?
A normal flight is 20–30 minutes in the air. Before take-off the pilot usually asks: an adrenaline flight with acrobatic manoeuvres, or a calm and stable one. If you choose acro, your time in the air shortens to 15–20 minutes. With hotel pick-up and the transfer up the mountain, allow about 3 hours in total.
What should I wear?
Wear sports shoes, or strapped sandals that stay on your foot — anything that will not come off while running. Sunglasses are a must. You can bring your phone and wallet; they go into the pilot’s large bag and are handed back after landing. It is 10–15 °C colder at the summit than at the beach, so bring a light jacket or sweatshirt.
How much is the flight?
The standard tandem flight is 6,500 TL per person. Photo and video are not included; if you want them, they are paid to the pilot on the day, US$35 per person.
