Fabulous trip for my partner and his 3 kids. We had a great time and we’re always made to feel welcome and safe. I would highly recommend.
The views were amazing and the kids had a great time doing this sort of adventure for the first time.

The service was amazing. The weather was not too good, however I got to do it twice. The pilot was so kind to allow me to go for a second time, because of the weather limiting us on the first one.
Great service and your money worth going with Dolphin Paragliding

I came to this place because it had a high rating on tripadvisor.
I already had a fair idea on how to paraglide but needed alot more to learn.
I contacted the place before coming to make sure that I can come.
Place and Location:
Good points: You will definitely need a car to get around, go to the groceries... Etc. If you have a car, it's a great location. It's a few steps from a beautiful beach as well.
The rooms and bathroom were clean.
Bad points: The kitchen, however, was extremely dirty. The kitchen was so dirty that I got nauseated every time I stepped in. Also, if you don't have a car, it's hard to get to anything.
Flying experience:
Good points: very safe. Very gradual. He took me on the sand dunes for short 1mins flights and ground handling. Then on a tandem, and then got me flying alone. His radio instructions were clear and to the point. I felt very safe.
Bad points:
1. The material was old and didn't fit my size. My wing was too big for me, and I had to compensate with a heavy harness.
2. Priority was for tandem flights, not me as a student, to a point where I would lose an entire afternoon doing nothing (with good weather).
3. Theory classes were almost nothing.
4. I already had a fair idea how to fly, so I managed, but I got so little instructions on how to turn and use speed bars that I wad only using my previous experience.
I think the worst part is that right after I left, a big number of Norweigian paragliders came... And THEY received full attention, the place was cleaned, everything was organized. I felt abandoned (the female solo traveler from Kuwait who is so petite will never pqraglide and doesn't deserve much... Let's concentrate on the big groups of promising Norweigians).
However, the instructor and his partner were very friendly and nice.

Got a friendly and warm welcome from them. From the start to the end was so smooth. These people are highly skilled and you don't have to stress about a thing. The video is excellent quality. Our next flight with them will be in Sedgefield. It was an amazing experience and I can recommend them for anyone!

Hi yes you can take own cameras or phones , just look after them and maybe have strap .
Could anybody guide about the procedure for booking a flight and how much does it cost. Is there is system of booking or blocking a slot in advance.
