    Great experience! Took off from near the mountain top at 1300 meters, slowly glided towards the beach :D... Super friendly and professional instructors!

    Our first time paragliding, and what a blast it was! We (my husband and I, and kids 9 and 12 yo) were all a bit nervous but both Sasho's (both our instructors were called that) put us at ease with their obvious experience, confidence, clear explanations and good equipment. For example, I was afraid we'd have to jump of the mountain but it was just an pretty natural run down a slope until you're running on air :-). Our kids ages weren't a problem at all; they said they have flown with much younger kids still. One thing to be aware of with kids though is that the lighter the passenger, the sooner you will land; seems counter-intuitive but the chute more easily catches thermal updrafts with some extra weight. So the kids' flights were indeed shorter than ours. This wasn't a problem as another one of their crew was waiting at the landing site with them until we landed as well. I (well, Sacho as the passenger only sits back and enjoys the view) on the other hand was able to stay up for quite a while, circling above an eagle which was circling below us. Absolutely amazing! We flew with them in the 'shoulder season' (late April '22) and booked only the day before. As it wasn't high season, it turned out that they were actually in Skopje and travelled to Ohrid especially for us, which is great customer service. They also picked us up at our hotel and included GoPro photos and video which we received via an emailed link a few days later. In all, an absolutely amazing experience for both parents and kids, thrilling but not scary. Even if it's your first time, go for the highest jumping point, it's so worth it! Looking back at the photos and video, the excitement continues.

    It was my second time flying with a glider. Regardless, experience can't be described in words. I was more calm than the first time, fristly due to pilots mood and complete crew. They will for sure make it as an unforgettable time. Since in this sport you do not learn from your own mistakes, pilots are calm and joking and ready to make it all pleasant - from pick-up with a jeep, till touch down and afterwards. Only🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅 to rate them, but overall they deserve more 🍻 Tranquil skyes, guys!

    The whole experience is worth it. First of all swift communication. Quick and straightforward information about "how?" and "when?". Then the trip up the hill in an off-road car. It could be an excursion by itself. Finally the paragliding. The view is magnificent and the staff really helpful. Kudos!

    We wanted to try something new, something exciting and get out of our comfort zone. It was an absolutely amazing experience!!! You will feel like a bird flying through the sky. It's a feeling you will never forget. The process was super simple, we got picked up from the hotel, driven to the take off spot. The pilots/instructors have a lot of experience. And they are contactable via WhatsApp which makes things much easier. Thank you for everything.

    Once in a lifetime experience! This is a must do if you are going to be in Ohirid. The flight was incredible. Had the best views of Ohrid Lake and would recommend it to anyone visiting. Paragliding Ohrid team made it all very easy and stress-free. All pilots are professionals and have a ton of experience. There are no hidden costs. Entry free for national park is included in the price.

    So, for those who will experience this for the first time: embark on an adventure and enjoy. The Paragliding Ohrid team is top notch. I didn't stop and change my mind for a single moment. With their attitude, experience and smile, they give you so much courage and confidence to fly and enjoy. Hours turn into minutes, and minutes into seconds. We are definitely coming back! Greetings to Saša and Saša and Saša and Goran, Goca and the rest of the team...

    It was my first flight and It was amazing. I was little nervous before the flight, but once we were in the air it was completely peaceful. I was flying with Sasha, he is an absolute expert. I highly recommend! Just do it 😄

    A must try for all the kids that grew up with the idea to fly. Not to mention that you will have the chance to enjoy a SPECTACULAR view of the Ohrid lake and Ohrid's nature. It was simply breathtaking. For us it was quite easy to organize, we called the paragliding team three days in advance and they took us with their SUVs to the top of the mountain, explained the process and we were ready to take off and enjoy our 30-40 min flight. We received the photos and the video of our flight immediately. I am so happy we decided to do this adventure with the Paragliding Tandem Flights Ohrid!

    An awesome experience with skilled staff. I felt 100% safe during the whole flight and the view was amazing! Perfect service and very nice people. Fluent in English so there were no complications while arranging the flight. Would reccomend wearing gloves&hat if you have the chance.

    Awesome professional company to fly with. Highly recommend . Will definitely return. I was nervous but they put you at ease, awesome chilled views. Best experience ever.

  • 5/5 Kai L. 8 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Totally spectacular. We started from around 1300 meters above sea level (for 69 euros, in Germany you would probably pay twice as much). Getting there in an off-road vehicle through the national park was a bit of an adventure. The team (Sasha & Sasha) acted very friendly and professionally. They explained everything to us, secured us and then we started. The flight lasted about 15 minutes. The panorama with the lake, city and nature below us - indescribably beautiful. Absolute recommendation! For ten euros more we got pictures and videos of the flight. You held the selfie stick with the GoPro, which took a photo every 5 seconds, in your hand. Great pictures were taken. One hour of SUP is included in the total price.

    I had a really good experience with Paragliding Ohrid. Karolina who helped book our flight came across as very friendly and helpful and the pilots themselves were also really professional and friendly. We were planned to fly from the highest point, but due to high winds we had to take off from a slightly lower elevation. However, the experience and the views were still absolutely incredible. If booking a paragliding flight in Ohrid I highly recommend these guys! Many thanks.

    Paragliding in Ohrid was great. We (adult and child) were able to book online without any problems. Communication was consistent and supportive at all times. The advice that it is best to book at the beginning of your stay should always be taken into account. Unfortunately, we had to wait longer for our tour due to the weather, but at the same time we were offered a timely alternative. However, it was worth the wait, even if it only worked on the last day. The team is very professional and helpful. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Kevin De B. 9 months ago on Google
    An experience that I can recommend to everyone! We were picked up from the location we were staying punctually and brought to location by car. After a short briefing, the paragliding started, which was a one-of-a-kind experience. The duration of the flight is not long, but it is definitely worth the price! The instructors were very kind as well.

  • 5/5 Kristina V. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience was great for both my boyfriend and myself! We loved how the pilots treated us and how they explained everything. And the view from the air is amazing. Next time we will fly from 1700m for sure. Veliki pozdrav za Sašu, Sašu i Sašu. 😀

    It was our first time flying and we couldn't have hoped for better instructors! All three Sashos were incredibly friendly and competent and from the moment we were picked up we knew we were in safe hands. The flight itself was stunning and completely exceeded our expectations, the view over lake Ohrid is just marvellous. Best intructors, best location, best everything! Thank you so much!

    One of my best experiences! Once I found out that it was possible to go paragliding in Ohrid, I knew it would be a highlight of my trip. On the website there where several options, and I went to their basis on Cuba Libre Beach to get some more infirmation. Instantly, I had a good feeling. They were professional and friendly and they took their time to explain everything. On the day itself, they picked me up at the time mentioned. Everything went smooth, and the instructions during the breefing were completely clear. The flight itself was amazing, even beyon what I'd expected! And importantly, I felt (and was) safe the whole time. After the paragliding, they allowed me to use their SUP board and try Supping in Ohrid lake. It was an amazing day, and I can only recommend these guys if you want to try out paragliding in Ohrid!
