What To Expect

This paragliding baptism flight is considered your first flying lesson, always accompanied by a licensed and experienced instructor. The experience begins with a full briefing, where the instructor explains all the steps of the flight and safety procedures. After that, they will prepare all the equipment and get you ready for the adventure.

At takeoff, you will do a short run together with the instructor until you lift off. From that moment on, you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and experience a unique feeling of freedom. During the flight, you will also have the opportunity to record the experience using our action cameras, so you can keep this unforgettable moment forever.

Before landing, the instructor will give you all the necessary instructions to ensure a smooth and safe arrival. The flight ends with a smile on your face and the feeling of celebrating another achievement — an experience you’ll want to remember and repeat.

Filter by:

Q: Are there any weight restrictions for parasailing?
A:

The minimum weight to fly alone is 90 lbs, and in tandem or triple, it may not exceed 450 lbs

Dec 2021
Q: Do you have to know how to swim in order to parasail?
A:

Although it is best for you to be comfortable in the water, you do not have to know how to swim. Each guest is provided with a buoyancy compensator (BC) that will assist with flotation.

Apr 2023
Q: Is there an age requirement for parasailing?
A:

Yes, the minimum age to parasail is 6 years old. Participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign their liability waiver prior to boarding the vessel. At Cool Destinations safety is our number one priority. The minimum weight required for parasailing is roughly 90 pounds. If the flyer is less than 90 pounds, they will simply fly tandem with someone not to exceed roughly 450 pounds combined weight. Weight requirements may differ due to wind conditions.

Feb 2022
Q: Will I get seasick on Paragliding Algarve Experience?
A:

If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
