Frequently asked questions
Onde exatamente acontecem os voosÍ
We operate in the northern part of the island, specifically at Praia Brava or Santinho. The choice of location depends 100% on the wind direction on that day:
Praia Brava: Ideal with north/northeast winds.
Santinho: Ideal with east/southeast winds.
We will confirm your exact meeting point with you a few hours before the flight.
Quanto tempo dura o vooÍ
The time in the air typically ranges from 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thermal conditions and wind. Allow about 1 hour and 15 minutes for the entire logistics (climbing the hill, instructions, equipment preparation, and the flight).
Eu preciso saltar de algum lugarÍ
No, it’s different from skydiving. In paragliding, we don’t ‘jump from a standstill.’ We take off: you and your instructor will give some quick steps (a little run) on a gentle incline, and the sail will gently lift us up. It’s much calmer than it sounds!
Safety and Requirements
É seguro voarÍ
Safety is our top priority. Our instructors are certified by CBVL (Brazilian Free Flight Confederation) and we use state-of-the-art equipment, regularly inspected. We only take off when the weather conditions are perfect for a safe flight.
Quais são os limites de peso e idadeÍ
Weight: Generally between 30 kg and 120 kg (may vary depending on wind intensity at the time).
Age: Ages 6 and up (with parental permission). There is no maximum age; just need mobility for a short run-up during takeoff.
Tenho medo de altura (vertigem). Posso voarÍ
Yes! It may sound ironic, but the feeling of vertigo usually disappears in the air because we don’t have a direct visual reference to the ground (like being on top of a building). The sensation is like floating in a comfortable chair.
Logistics and Preparation
O que devo vestirÍ
Footwear: Closed-toe shoes (hiking boots or sneakers) are mandatory.
Clothing: Comfortable, flexible clothing. We recommend a light jacket as the temperature can drop a bit up there.
Posso levar meu celular ou câmeraÍ
Yes, you are allowed to bring your own cell phone or camera during the paragliding flight. However, any loss, damage, or fall of personal items is solely the responsibility of the participant during the experience. We offer a professional high-definition photo and video service with GoPro, ensuring that you have the best record of your adventure without risks.
E se as condições do tempo mudaremÍ
The free flight is entirely dependent on nature. If the instructor determines that it’s not safe to take off due to weather conditions or any other reason beyond the customer's control, the flight will be rescheduled for a future date with availability.
