About this tour
Launch from the Brecon Beacons on a tandem paraglide that reveals the Welsh landscape from an angle few experience. You'll float silently alongside native raptors, rising on thermals without engine noise or fossil fuel burn. The flight itself is serene rather than adrenaline-soaked—a genuine conversation with the air and terrain below. Four hours total, including briefing, flight time, and gentle landing.

What to expect
You'll meet your pilot at the launch site, receive a safety briefing, and be fitted into your harness and reserve parachute. The takeoff is unhurried—no runway, no sprint required. Once airborne, you're tethered to your pilot, who reads the wind and thermals while you take in the perspective shift. The flight itself is calm and meditative rather than stomach-lurching. You'll circle with the thermals, watching the landscape tilt and recede. Landing is equally gradual, touching down gently on open moorland.
Good to know
Not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or compromised cardiovascular health. Service animals permitted. Fitness level immaterial—the pilot manages all physical demands. Bring layers; altitude cools quickly. Weather-dependent; expect potential reschedule.
