The most phenomenal experience, to see Ohrid from above. The pick-up was on time and easy, the off-road to the flight spot offered amazing views, the flight itself was breathtaking, and as an added bonus, there was free stand-up paddleboarding afterwards! I cannot recommend this experience enough!

This experience was great, the customer services were so helpful and the paragliding pilots very reassuring and ensured I got the best experience possible.
This activity is weather dependent so I was very lucky that it could go ahead as planned with a slight time adjustment of an hour on the day.
I did have moments of motion sickness but nothing too bad and it was definitely worth it for the views and the feeling of flying over the mountains and lake.

I’ll be honest! I’m afraid of heights. The kind of afraid where just looking down from a balcony makes my stomach drop. So when I decided to go paragliding in Ohrid, Macedonia, I wasn’t sure what had gotten into me. But from the moment I met my pilot, Sasho, something shifted. He had this calm, confident energy that immediately made me feel safe.
As we stood on the mountain, watching the wind move gently through the autumn-colored trees, he explained everything: what to expect, how to run during takeoff, what each sound meant. Before I knew it, we were running together, and suddenly my feet were no longer on the ground. I can’t even describe that first moment in the air. The fear disappeared, replaced by pure awe. Beneath me stretched Lake Ohrid, glistening like glass under the afternoon sun, Europe’s oldest lake, ancient and still. The mountains of Albania and Macedonia surrounded us, dressed in fiery shades of orange, gold, and red. It was peaceful, silent except for the wind, and I remember thinking: I’m actually doing this.
What surprised me most was how free it felt: not scary, not tense, just peaceful. I could see the curve of the earth in the distance, the texture of the mountains, and the way the light changed as we glided through the sky. Sasho pointed out landmarks, joked with me, and made sure I never felt anxious.
By the time we landed, my heart was racing, but not from fear. From joy. From gratitude. From feeling alive in a way I hadn’t felt in a long time.
If you ever find yourself in Ohrid, even if you’re terrified of heights like me, trust me, go paragliding. Let Sasho take you up there. Let yourself see the world from a new perspective. It’s not just a flight, it’s a memory you’ll carry forever. It was followed by a scrumptious traditional Macedonian feast!

I surprised my boyfriend with paragliding for his 30th birthday and we are both very excited about the experience. The pilots and the rest of the team are very friendly, professional and you feel immediately safe and comfortable. They were able to handle my nervousness well and made me feel safe right away. We can highly recommend it!

The first day the wind was wrong and then we were picked up the next day.
It felt safe and we enjoyed it.

It was my first time flying paragliding and I loved the experience, however the trip up the mountain was horrible, the driver didn’t do very well and I ended up with a bit of a dizzy stomach. They also made me feel very uncomfortable because they were all talking in Macedonian, and although I tried to talk to them it could not be. My monitor, the person I jumped with was very friendly throughout, and treated me very well.
