Is it safe to paraglide in Oludeniz?
It is a tandem flight: you are strapped to a professional pilot who steers the glider the whole time. You get a safety briefing first, and all equipment is supplied. Flights take place only when wind and weather allow. All you have to do is run a few steps at take-off when the pilot says so, then relax and take in the view.

| Babadag Mountain | The high launch point above the coastline |
| Blue Lagoon | Oludeniz's sheltered, turquoise lagoon |
| Oludeniz Beach | The long stretch of beach where you touch down |
| The Mediterranean | Bays and shoreline running along the Turquoise Coast |
Do you need any experience?
None. Tandem flights are made for beginners. You must be able to walk and run a few steps for take-off and landing. When you book, tell us your weight and any health issues, since pilots have weight limits and some conditions may rule out flying.

Which months are best for paragliding at Oludeniz?
The season runs longest from spring through autumn, and late spring and early autumn bring the clearest views and the calmest air. In summer the beach is hot and crowded. Every flight depends on the weather on the day.
What to wear
Closed shoes with good grip, such as trainers, plus comfortable clothes, sunglasses and a light jacket, because the take-off point on the mountain is cooler. Pack sunscreen and swimwear if you plan to stay on the beach after you land.
