Paragliding Experience Days: Give paragliding a go and experience the thrill of unpowered flight! This extended tandem experience in East Sussex is the perfect introduction to the sport, with 25 minutes flight time and stunning aerial views of the South Downs! 

Depending on the wind direction, experiences take place at one of several scenic locations in East Sussex. On arrival, you’ll be greeted and briefed by an instructor before stepping into the harness. They’ll then attach both of you to the wing and lead you to the take-off point. When you’re ready, you’ll take a few steps forward while the wing is raised, lifting you off the ground. Once airborne, flights last around 25 minutes, and whether you’re hoping for a gentle, relaxing glide or something a bit more exciting, your instructor will work hard to ensure it’s an experience you never forget! They’ll expertly navigate invisible thermals, helping you to take control yourself or simply enjoy breathtaking bird’s-eye views of the scenery below. Flights are filmed if the conditions allow it, and after touching back down, you’ll receive this footage free of charge—so you can relive the adventure whenever you like!

The Tandem Paragliding Adventure in East Sussex is a memorable introduction to the world of unpowered flight, and Experience Days vouchers make unique gifts for thrill seekers. Trust us, they’ll be floating on air for days!
