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!

I chose the 20’ paramotor fly for my boyfriend’s birthday. It was an amazing experience! He enjoyed it from start to finish! The whole team was fantastic, it was so easy to book the appointment and they were very helpful and informative. George as an instructor was fantastic, even though I didn’t do it I definitely recommend it judging by my friends smile after that! Don’t miss it!
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.
The instructor was very nice and enthusiastic. We would definitely do this again. It was such a beautiful view
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 😀
This was a wonderful experience and George was the best person to take you up in the paratrik! I was able to see so much of the coast and land as well as turtles in the sea! I felt very safe all the time; take off, in the air and landing as George was very experienced and he was always checking I was okay! It was really good fun and me and my family loved the experience!!! I’d highly recommend this adventure!!!
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 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!
You won't regret this experience. The take off an landing was a breeze and the view was mesmerizing. I felt extremely safe the whole time. Don't think about it.. Just go for it! ❤️
Everything was great. The experience was incredible and the communication via text was so helpful. We would definitely do it again!!
Went with my partner, who was scared of this activity for various reasons. Can say with confidence we both had a great experience. Was extremely simple and easy, you drive up to the launch area (near a resort on the beach, they send you helpful directions), wait in a shaded area under a tent the guide set up, and one-by-one the members of your group go up and back with the guide for approximately ~15/20 minutes each. The guide is fun, calming, helpful and experienced. The flying apparatus is modern and inspires confidence. The experience itself is beautiful and unique, with fantastic views and great pictures (the guide takes a couple selfies while you’re up there, and you’re free to bring your phone to take videos/pictures). I recommend this activity for all ages, it was very fun and did not require heavy time commitment.
Nice Flight à very good pilot he knows the job I recommanded Beautiful vidéo and the landscape is wonderful
Amazing experience, beautiful view and very hospitable guide. Took photos during our flights for us as we where too scared to get our phones out due to the wind. Even picked us up at our hotel location after a little confusion of our meeting spot (fault our end) which would’ve left us struggling to attend on time. I even spotted a few rare sea turtles during my flight. Would definitely recommend.
Communication and guidance to spot were very good. Flight itself was very nice and 20 mins was long enough time to see things from the sky. I felt all time safe and handled by professionals. Views were good. Lots of things told by pilot. It was a hot day and only one paraglide in use so it would be nice if free water offered at site during the queuing times.
Great communication with the company. Great flight route over the Georgoupoli bay area. Felt super safe throughout.
George was amazing, so friendly and reassuring, as this was my first time ever doing this... the experience was absolutely speechless, I would repeat it over and over
Best experience of my life by far. The feeling once you are up in the air is exceptional and like playing a video game. Totally recommend it🥂
Amazing experience and worth doing if you haven't done paratriking before. George is very friendly and skilled in what he does.
Amazing fun. Great views. Would highly recommend. Beautiful location at Falasarna beach to make a whole day of it. So glad we did this. Very professional and great fun :)
Mr. Giorgos is an experienced professional and I had the opportunity to try tandem in two forms. The flight was an amazing experience to complete it with a gentleman like Mr. Giorgos. The photos and video came out great. Many thanks to his team too! (communication online) I will be glad to visit beautiful Crete again and again.
Great experience, nice pilot and lots of fun. Very nice pictures also taken by the instructor and a good video.
Incredible experience...excellent service...the pilot is awesome as he explains the landscapes throughout the flight and makes you feel comfortable like you've done it before!! Thank you very much 🙂
310 euros, mine lasted maybe 7 minutes, that of my girlfriend, who made the video scarce 5 minutes. The thing that makes you angry that before you pay they guarantee you an effective 20 minute flight, is a big lie, here we talk about scam in my opinion.
Nice experience, professional company and everything is carried out according to your own wishes. My daughter is one experience richer. I prefer to keep my feet on the ground haha
It was a wonderful experience! In the air at sunset it’s just amazing. George the pilot is great, smiling, we had a good time with him. This is really an experience to do if you are in Crete.
We experienced here with the very dear and friendly George a great flight with beautiful views over the plantations, the sea and along the beach. First time for us. Great memories have been created.
Un paysage a couper le souffle.les pilote à l écoute et très rassurant,un très bon souvenir de crête.
We had a great experience. They were excellent and we felt safe with them. It's all worth the money and an unforgettable experience😁
It was a great experience, the view from an airy height of the sea, the beach, the surroundings, just great. I am very glad that I experienced this event!
I have been to Crete before,Unfortunately I was prevented I would like to paraglide as a tandem kCrete is wonderful and I will come back Please send me a feedback susannejakobsen2405@gmail.com
A wonderful experience. George makes sure you feel safe, always check during the flight if you still like it. Beautiful view of the mountains, the beach and the sea.
Very satisfied with this experience. Beautiful scenery. I felt safe from start to finish. Our companion was attentive I highly recommend
super experience, definitely worth trying this kind of flight to those who fear altitudes like me! pilot experience and personal qualities as a 10 out of 10 person! The pilot picked us up from Chania, rolled us, gave us a tour of Lake Kurnas while the tailwinds waited and flew longer than stated, simply because he was in no hurry :)))
