Paragliding in Bali

Holy cow, what a thrill. Our very first day in Bali, Benjamin organized a 15 minute flight session with Bali Paragliding. We were picked up from our hotel in Kuta by noon and driven about 40 minutes south to Nusa Dua where the cliffs are located. We handed over 110 USD each, were given a go-pro on a selfie stick, strapped on a helmet and away we went! Seriously. It was THAT easy. Benjamin and I both flew tandem so we each had our own experiences. My pilot’s name was Surya and he was awesome. We chatted a bunch and he even let me give flying a try, which was incredible! The flight itself takes you up and down the coast, along the hills/cliffs and over the sea. You fly over top insane private villas and pass by a temple as well. It was absolutely amazing and really cool seeing everything from a different perspective. It was such an exciting experience and a memorable way to start our Bali adventure. At the end of your flight, you land, pop out of your seat, are handed a beer and chill while they load the go-pro video onto your phone. You're even given the memory card to take home as well. The whole experience really couldn’t have been any better. We were back to our hotel by 3pm, which left us plenty of time to enjoy the rest of our evening. 

Bali Paragliding also allows you to rent equipment as well if you happen to be an experienced paraglider. So whether you’re looking for a tandem flight or wanting to go out solo, I highly recommend checking them out! Everyone at the site was super friendly and they were also very quick to respond to our original inquiry and coordinate transportation for us. Having our hotel pick up and drop off organized and included made the entire experience so much more enjoyable, and not to mention, easy! I recommend contacting them ahead of time to schedule your paragliding experince, but calling the day of may even work- they're super accomodating! Email info@baliparagliding.com for more information.
