Fethiye is the gateway to Oludeniz — 15 minutes from the world's best paragliding.
Yes — and here is the honest answer most tour desks skip: virtually all paragliding sold in Fethiye flies from Babadağ Mountain above Ölüdeniz, about 15 kilometres from Fethiye town centre. There is no separate commercial launch site in Fethiye itself.
That is good news, not bad: it means booking from Fethiye gets you the exact same world-famous flight — 1,960m mountain, Blue Lagoon views, beach landing — with just a short transfer added.
The logistics are simple:
A standard tandem flight costs $150 and includes transfers, all equipment and a licensed SHGM-certified pilot. Flight time ranges from 15 to 45 minutes depending on launch height and conditions.
Photo and video packages are optional add-ons — worth considering, because the descent over the lagoon is one of the most photogenic moments in Turkey.
For the flight itself it makes no difference — same mountain, same landing. Fethiye offers a bigger town with harbour restaurants and markets; Ölüdeniz puts you next to the beach, the lagoon and the landing zone.
Many guests do both: fly in the morning, spend the afternoon at the Blue Lagoon, dinner back in Fethiye.
Yes — Fethiye pickups are part of our service. Share your hotel when booking and we confirm the pickup time, usually 30–40 minutes before the Ölüdeniz meeting slot.
Plan around half a day: transfer to Ölüdeniz, drive up Babadağ, briefing, the flight itself and the return. The flight portion is 15–45 minutes depending on launch and conditions.
It is the same flight from the same mountain, so genuine prices match — around $150 for a standard tandem. Unusually cheap street offers usually cut corners on transfer, media or launch height.
Tandem flights available daily April – October. Book online or contact us directly.
