What is tandem paragliding?

Tandem paragliding was originally developed as a way to introduce people to paragliding without the need for long training courses. During a tandem flight, the passenger flies together with a certified instructor, allowing anyone to experience free flight safely and comfortably.

The instructor controls the paraglider at all times, while the passenger follows simple instructions during takeoff.

The instructor is positioned behind the passenger, providing full control of the flight and ensuring safety throughout the experience.

All flights with SkyAtlantida are conducted in strict accordance with the rules and regulations established by the national paragliding federation and applicable aviation safety standards.
