So you want to
get as high as a kite and be surrounded by birds on your stag weekend
?! Then how about Senor Stag taking you out paragliding ! This really
is, as you can probably imagine, a very exciting and uplifting way
for you to enjoy your afternoon from a completely different angle
altogether. |
| |
You
will be met at your hotel by your Senor Stag guide who
will take you to one of the hilltop locations 25-45 minutes drive
from Benidorm (whichever location is best on the day). When you arrive
at the take off/landing spot (approx 100-250m above sea level), you
will meet your tandem pilot. All of the pilots are officially recognised
by the Royal Spanish Aeronautical Association (R.F.A.E.) so you will
be in safe hands. |
| |
You
will be securely strapped into your seat-harness and briefed on what
to do during take-off and landing. You don´t just jump off a cliff
into thin air ! Paragliders are launched by running off moderate slopes
with the glider inflated until you are lifted off your feet. So, it´s
actually less scary and more relaxing than you may initially think.
After take-off your pilot will be fully in control, so all you need
to do is just sit back, relax and enjoy your trip ! |
| |
As there are no
noisy motors, you can enjoy the tranquility and the natural sounds
around you as your expert pilot manoeuvres skillfully, using the
geothermal air currents, dynamic winds and of course gravity. The
flight lasts about 20 minutes during which time you will witness
breathtaking views as you glide over the mountains and spectacular
scenery of the Mediterranean coastline. |
| |
You should wear comfortable clothes (ie. shorts and
t-shirt in the summer; something a little warmer in the winter).
Trainers or boots are needed as flip flops are not suitable, especially
when it comes to the landing ! |
| |
Due to the nature of this activity you will only be allowed to fly in suitable weather conditions, as safety is obviously our priority. In the event that it is not possible in any of our locations on your chosen day, we will aim to give you at least 24hrs notice. We will do our best to offer you an alternative activity or you can simply have a full refund. |
