Tandem Paragliding in Ölüdeniz, Fethiye: A Babadağ Guide
What a tandem flight from Babadağ down to the Ölüdeniz lagoon is like, how long it lasts and who can fly. Everything to know before your first flight.
Seeing the turquoise lagoon of Ölüdeniz from above is one of the most striking experiences Turkey has to offer. On a tandem flight an experienced, licensed pilot flies the wing; your only job is to enjoy the view. This guide walks you through the Babadağ flight from start to finish.
From Babadağ to Ölüdeniz
You take off from the launch sites of Babadağ, between 1,700 and 1,960 metres, right above Fethiye. The flight lasts about 25–35 minutes and ends with a landing on Ölüdeniz beach. On the way you see the lagoon, the bays, pine forests and the coastline all at once.
How the flight goes
- Meeting and transfer: transfer within the Fethiye area is included in the package.
- Preparation: your pilot gives a short briefing before take-off; all you do is take a few running steps at launch.
- The flight: the pilot flies the wing while you take in the view.
- Landing: you land at the landing area on Ölüdeniz beach.
