The Dream of Flight!

Marc_N, June 2026

Excellent experience, we really enjoyed the paragliding, and our guide/pilot, a national champion in flying, was an excellent host who picked us up and dropped us off, making logistics easy. It is helpful to understand that the flight point for a given day will change due to the winds, and so you should expect to communicate with the tour operator 2-3 days before (likely via Whatsapp, but they will communicate via Viator) about where you will go and what you will see. Expect each flight to take 10-15 minutes, with 5 minutes reset time; our family of 4 took about an hour to all fly. I cannot say enough about the actual flight, if you've never done it, it's hard to imagine just how smooth and easy it is. Glasses/sunglasses are not a concern, and you can even use your phone for photos if you are careful (if you drop it though, it's gone). Overall, excellent experience, if you want to fly like a bird, this is probably the closest you can get!

Great Time

Herbert_W, Sept 2025

Done skydiving and parasailing and this is my favorite by far. Did an excellent job from start to finish. Little hard to find, but instructions were good. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience

We up into the mountain...

dbhoops, June 2025

We were up into the mountains, off roaded a bit, short hike up to the plateau where we suited up and off we went....our guides made us feel safe, kept checking to see we were good and comfortable. As we were high off the ground, our guide pointed out these large birds circling....vultures....I guess hoping for a meal...lol...the cruising in the air was beautiful and the landing was gentle...great time for us 1st timers....ready to go again 😀

Once in a lifetime experience!!

Kate_M, May 2025

Absolutely incredible experience. The instructor has so much passion and joy for what he does and made the experience a one to never forget. This is hands down one of the best things we have done on our trip. A unique way to experience Crete, you won’t find anything else like it on the island. The view from the Paratrike is breathtaking and leaves you speechless (we saw turtles and stingrays on our flight). Thank you so much for making our trip! We will definitely be back!! We booked through Viator and the instructor contacted us via WhatsApp. Keep the day that you book the experience for free as the instructor will contact you with what times were available. It’s definitely worth prioritising and working your schedule around the available times. If you’re worried about safety, don’t be! The instructor has 23 years of flying experience! Can’t say anything more expect book this in! You won’t regret

The scenery way up high...

Matthew_H, Apr 2025

The scenery way up high was of course amazing, but the highlight was George. Really a great, friendly host. He took fantastic care of us and handled all the details. Highly recommended!
