Tandem Paragliding at Parc Bryn BachParaglidingThese flights are of an instructional nature where you will learn about the construction of a paraglider, how it fly's, how it launches and how it steers. Given good weather, our highly experienced pilots can take their passengers to the base of the clouds in comfort. Often we fly up to 4000 ft in Wales, far above the heights normally flown by other light aircraft, using only natural lift from the wind and thermals. In the right conditions, the passenger can assume control of the glider; or just relax, admire the view and take a few photos.
You don't need to be especially fit to fly. Take off and landing involves running just a few steps and once airborne you sit back in a comfortable seat and perhaps lean a little to assist turning.
We are able to take passengers weighing between 35 and 100 kg (5.5 and 16 stone). Those under 18 years old require written parental consent.
You are fully insured during your experience and our excellent safety record speaks for its self.
We also offer the opportunity for disabled people to fly and there is also funding which we can access to pay for the first £60 of this experience.
This experience is an excellent gift for a birthday or Christmas present or when combined with other activities we offer, can make an excellent corporate team building day or hen or stag activity.
At the Parc you can purchase a gift voucher which will be valid for up to a year, this will enable the person to redeem their gift when convenient. If you change your mind then there is also the opportunity to use the voucher to take part in an alternative activity of your choice.
