Quick answers

Before your first take-off

How long is the flight?

Usually around 15 minutes in the air when conditions allow. Weather can shorten, move or stop the flight.

How long does the whole activity take?

Allow roughly an hour from meeting through the return, with some flexibility for weather and day-of-flight logistics.

Where do we land?

Your pilot chooses the landing setup for the current conditions and flight line. Do not assume one fixed beach or landing point.

Do I need to choose a route before I enquire?

You do not need to. The typical first tandem is the normal starting point. If another flight line makes sense, the local team can discuss it for the day.

How this flight differs

See the coast as one landscape

The take-off is only the beginning: below the ridge, town, beaches and open water come into view. Your pilot looks after the wing so you can take it all in.

01

The moment the coast opens

At Brajići the sea is already in view before you leave the ground. Then, as the wing takes your weight, the roads and buildings below begin to look smaller. For a first flight, you do not need a famous landmark or an ambitious route. Seeing familiar Budva from a different angle is quite enough.

02

What you do — and what the pilot does

We fit the harness and talk through the start. Your part is to listen, move forward when the pilot asks, and keep moving for the few steps or short run needed to take off. The pilot handles the wing in the air and explains how to prepare for landing. Previous paragliding experience is not required.

03

A coast you can recognise

Depending on the actual flight path and visibility, you may pick out Budva, Bečići, Rafailovići and the curve of the Adriatic shoreline. The exact landing spot is chosen for the conditions, not selected from a tourist map.

What the flying day may involve

Plan for the whole outing

  • Take-off: the Brajići hillside, about 760 m above sea level.
  • Air time: typically around 15 minutes when the air permits.
  • Total time: often about an hour from meeting to return; leave a little room for changes.
  • Meeting and transport: agreed with the team for your day, not a fixed pickup from every address.

Practical facts

Flight price and optional video

The usual first-tandem fee is often around €79 per person in the quieter part of the year (roughly November–May) or around €99 in the busier months (roughly June–October). These are only seasonal reference figures, not automatic date-based prices; ask the local team to confirm the amount for your flight. Pilot GoPro remains an optional +€10, with an SD card after the flight or a download link when ready.

The easiest way to begin

You do not have to pick a route before getting in touch. Tell us your preferred date and where you are staying. We will discuss what is practical; the pilot makes the final decision about flying that day.
