Full description
Discover the charms of Sicily as never before: by tandem paraglider!
From Monte Veneretta, 800 metres above sea level, you will enjoy a 20-30 minute flight that encompasses everything from the imposingMount Etna to the historic village of Castelmola to the centre of Taormina and Isola Bella.
With an experienced pilot, you will enjoy an extraordinary experience between heaven and earth. What are you waiting for?
What we will do
The rendezvous is in Letojanni (ME), at the time selected during the booking process. Upon arrival, we will meet the pilot and, after registration, board the shuttle (included) that will take us to the take-off point on Monte Veneretta, above Taormina. The journey will take about 30 minutes.
At 800 metres above sea level, we will have a briefing of about 5 minutes on safety instructions and the operation of the paraglider. Wearing the equipment, we will take a short run-up together with the pilot and, within seconds, our feet will leave the ground!
During the 20-30 minute flight, depending on the currents, we will admire the village of Castelmola, the historic centre of Taormina, the ancient Greek theatre and the enchanting Isola Bella, with a spectacular view ofMount Etna and the Ionian Sea. And for those looking for a little extra adrenaline, the pilot can try his hand at some aerobatics!
Finally, we will land softly near the meeting point, where we will be given an HD souvenir video (included) of this extraordinary adventure.
Between preparation, flight and transfer, the activity lasts a total of about 1.5 hours.
