What to Expect from the Experience

The Flight Setup

We loved the way this activity emphasizes safety and professionalism. The activity is conducted with approved equipment and a certified pilot, which means you’re in good hands. The pilot, who has accumulated more than two decades flying experience, makes sure the flight is smooth and secure.

You’ll meet at an agreed-upon location in Andalusia—either Nerja or Torre del Mar, depending on the day—and it’s important to arrive 15 minutes early. The meeting point might vary, so staying in touch the day before your flight is crucial to avoid confusion. As one reviewer noted, “a signpost at the field entrance would have been helpful,” highlighting some logistical quirks, but overall, the process is straightforward.

The Actual Flight

The 30-minute flight feels like a perfect length—long enough to soak in the scenery but not overly exhausting. You’ll take off from a scenic spot, with the pilot controlling the engine-powered paraglider (called a paramotor). While most participants enjoy sitting back and taking in the views, some may get the chance to pilot the glider themselves, provided they feel comfortable doing so.

Expect to glide over spectacular vistas of Nerja or Torre del Mar, with the coastline stretching out beneath you. The activity is typically conducted in perfect weather conditions, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. You’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the Costa del Sol’s cliffs, beaches, and sunsets, making for fantastic photo opportunities.
