Activity description
Experience a stunning palette of Meditteranean shades from the air with a scenic tandem paragliding flight over the iconic Algarve coastline.
Soar on warm thermals across the diverse landscape of Southern Portugal on this scenic paragliding flight over the Albufeira shoreline between Lagos and Faro. Reach new heights as you travel along the coast within a wing flap of coastal birdlife and experience the diverse Algarve region at sunrise or sunset.
Albufeira is a coastal city in the southern Algarve region of Portugal between Lagos and Faro. Renowned for its pristine beaches, this major summer destination has two main beaches (Praia dos Pescadores, Praia da Coelha and Praia do Túnel) and historical landmarks that include The Roman Ruins of Cerro da Vila and the 12-century sandstone Berber fortress of Paderne. The modern marina is a base for diving, dolphin-watching, and boat trips.
Organized according to weather and flight conditions, tandem paragliding flights in Albufeira consist of a 20-25 minute aerial flight in two distinctive locations that include Cerro Cabeça de Camara county of Loulé and Praia da Falésia in Albufeira. Cerro Cabeça de Camara is an inland flight over the countryside and mountains - offering stunning views of the valley below (look out for birds of prey that share the thermals during the afternoon). Praia da Falésia is located on the Albufeira shoreline and is a lower altitude flight that takes off from the cliff and travels along the Atlantic coast - a great chance to spot pods of dolphins!
