Frequently Asked Questions
How old do I have to be to fly? Is there a minimum or maximum weight?
The flight requires you to be at least 6 years old and weight Btw around 30kg to 100kg, but if you are under 18 you’ll need a parent or guardian with you to sign your waivers. There is no technical maximum weight for paragliding, but if you are over 110kg we will likely need special conditions to fly you, so we may have to reschedule your flight a few times until we find the right day
What do I wear for my flight?
Close toed shoes are highly recommended, as are long pants in case you trip and fall on launch or landing. The air is a lot colder up high than it is on the ground, especially with constant wind, so plan accordingly. We recommend one extra layer than you would need just standing on the ground. Sunglasses and gloves can also be useful, especially in sunny or cold weather.
Additionally you will need bring :
WATER (MINIMUM 1 litre per person),
SUNSCREEN,
HAT,
SUNGLASSES
Don't bring too much stuff , because we need to hike 30min to the flying site ,and we have small space to put your stuff in our bag and fly together .
Where do you fly, and how do I get there?
We conduct paragliding activities above Sunset Peak on Lantau Island, at Ma On Shan near Sai Kung, and at Dragon's Back above Shek O.

The LOCATION AS WELL AS TIMING OF THE EXCURSION IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON WEATHER. We do not take bookings for specific location: please book only if you are flexible with locations and are able to devote most of the day to this activity. You must be prepared for delays and possible cancellation/rescheduling.
My pilot canceled my flight, but I see other people are flying. Why did I get canceled? Is my pilot just lazy?
Weather is complicated and there are a lot of factors that go into the decision of whether or not to fly. If you are a rated paragliding pilot, you can make the informed decision on whether it’s safe for you to fly. However, if you are doing a tandem, you likely don’t have the hours of training required to make such a decision and rely on us to make it for you; therefore, some pilots might fly in conditions your tandem pilot has deemed unsafe. We will do our best to get you a tandem flight on the day you scheduled, but your safety is our number one priority, and we will not fly you in conditions that we think are unsafe. If you have any questions about why your flight was canceled, please don’t hesitate to ask and we will let you know in as much detail as you would like.
