It was my first extreme sport experience, I enjoyed it a lot thanks to my tandem teacher Öner Bicen. Without him I will not be couragous enough to make this happen. He has a lot of experiences and calmed me down during first 5 minutes of the flight. I am so much thankful to him! He took amazing photos during the flight. It was a great experiment at the end. I recommend it to everybody!
This was my first experience of paragliding and I didn't know what to expect. My pilot Ibo was very assuring and explained everything to me beforehand. Well, almost everything. Unfortunately, I wasn't told to take my sunglasses with me and that ruined the whole thing a bit. So if you are reading this, please make sure you have your sun glasses with you. This is safe, exciting and fun. Don't be scared just go for it.
We booked paragliding through our hotel and it happened to be Fly Hector. Everything started out okay and the paragliding itself was fun but it could've been much better due to the fact that the staff handling me was not very fun to begin with. I did not know we could've done some 'action' moves while paragliding and I got to know this because my girlfriend was asked by his guy if she would like to do 'action'. The one handling me totally did not say anything about that and it is very obvious it is just another job for him and he wasn't enthusiastic at all.
However that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was when going back to our Hotel in Fethiye which is a 30-40 minutes drive away from the paragliding spot. The hotel management told us that the price we paid includes transportation to and back. When we went back to the manager of this Fly Hector(he wasn't very friendly to begin with) and asked him about it, he said 7.30PM and he asked which hotel. When we told him our hotel name he said no, we are not going there because of traffic and he just brushed us off and told us to find our own transport back.
To be honest this was our worst experience in Turkey so far because of the way he treated us. We complained to our hotel management but he seemed to be helping this agent and offered no compensation for the extra transportation we payed which was supposed to be covered.
Brilliant flights for me and my Daughter. I was very nervous every but my guild was fantastic, he made me feel at eas and tool the flight very calm. I have always wanted to do this and and please we chose Escape for the experience.
My partner and I booked our paragliding experience through an activities centre in Fethiye, costing us just short of 600TL. The price included our transfer there and back from our hotel which we were very pleased about as we discovered a taxi one way was about 70TL.
On arrival, we were told to take a seat, and only after half an hour of waiting were we greeted and told what was going on. We then had to wait another hour for the minibus to arrive. With everyone in it was full to bursting and we were lucky to get proper seats with seat belts.
The ride up the mountain was easily the scariest part! The driver raced up, not at all fazed the fact he was driving mere inches from the edge. The views however are breathtaking.
I'd expected a safety briefing at the top, but it was non existent. We were told how to take off and that was about it. Within 5 minutes of parking up, we were running off the mountain.
The experience itself was absolutely breath taking. Couldn't have asked for better views. My pilot spoke good English and took lots of great photos, having me pose in different ways. He did some really fun stunts (which he'd stop the minute I was uncomfortable) and even let me have a go controlling the parachute.
After landing on the beach we were taken straight back to the main office to see our photos and videos. They were burned onto a CD and handed to me and my partner.
Unfortunately, after being told we could have them for free by our pilots, we were then chased by the owner who very rudely said we would have to pay. He was very impolite and snatched them off us, demanding another 120TL EACH.
All in all, a fantastic experience, but the management, safety and attitude of the owner needed some serious improvement.
First ever paraglide, the staff were amazing and the views over the resort and blue lagoon wow. You were looked after from the moment you left the resort until after the jump. Photos and videos you could see before they were loaded onto the disk. I would say it's something you have to do once in a lifetime.🤗
