FAQ

What are the safety measures and protocols in place to ensure the well-being of the customers?

At Blue Skies Paragliding, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our customers. We have trained and experienced instructors who ensure that all equipment is in good condition before each flight. We also conduct thorough safety briefings before every flight to ensure that our customers are aware of the risks and how to mitigate them. We provide safety equipment such as helmets and harnesses, and we monitor weather conditions closely to ensure that we only fly in suitable weather conditions.

What kind of terrain/weather conditions are suitable for hang gliding activities?

Hang gliding requires suitable wind conditions, which are typically found in hilly or mountainous areas. It is important to have clear, dry weather conditions with no rain or storms. We also consider the wind direction and strength, as well as visibility, before conducting any hang gliding activities.

Our hang gliding services start from £120 for a tandem flight, and we offer various packages to suit different needs and budgets. Our packages include all necessary equipment, safety briefings, and a trained and experienced instructor to guide you through the flight. We also offer photo and video packages for an additional fee.

What is the duration of the parasailing ride, and how much does it cost?

At Blue Skies Paragliding, we do not offer parasailing services. However, we do offer hang gliding services, and the duration of the flight depends on the package you choose. Our packages range from 20-60 minutes in the air, and the cost varies accordingly.

What happens if the weather conditions are not suitable for parasailing on the day of my booking?

As mentioned earlier, we do not offer parasailing services. However, if the weather conditions are not suitable for hang gliding on the day of your booking, we will reschedule your flight for another day that is suitable. Your safety is our top priority, and we will not conduct any flights in unsuitable weather conditions.

    Amazing day and experience ! The view was amazing and there was a good atmosphere within the group and the other paragliders. Joshua is a well known monitor. I did really appreciate to have more information about how to paraglide and the difficulties to do it. It felt 100% save. Thank you very much for everything, will 100% do it again and recommend it !!

    Flying tandem with Josh was an incredible experience. Everything was perfect! I was amazed at how effortless and immediate the takeoff was (yes, I had the privilege to fly several times :) ), how seamless the flying sensations felt, and how precise the landings were. It was evident that Josh had a deep passion for everything related to flying. He took the time to explain various aspects of our surroundings, such as birds, other gliders, and how air dynamics are influenced by topography, the sun, and even vegetation! I felt incredibly secure and at ease with Josh as our pilot.

    Would highly recommend Josh at Blue Skies Paragliding, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge which will set you on the right track whether you're looking to taste the freedom of flight with a tandem or to fly solo! His assistance has been invaluable helping me to convert my NZ licence to a local Club Pilot rating, and sharing his theory and local site knowledge has helped me to become a better and safer pilot. You can tell he really has a passion for what he does, it's not just a job, and some of that passion can't help but rub off!

    I was gifted a flight as a Christmas present and was finally able to get booked in now that the great British weather has perked up! Josh and Owen explained every element of what we were doing throughout the day and made me feel at ease. The flight itself was incredible and it was so surreal to be up in the clouds. An incredible experience. I would highly recommend Blue Skies Paragliding to anyone seeking an amazing experience!

    I had the pleasure of flying with Josh for a birthday present last weekend. It was phenomenal! Josh was welcoming, informative and made the whole experience fun and memorable. Paragliding itself is a great experience, but Josh's experience and personality made this occasion MUCH better. For anyone worrying about safety, Josh clearly knows what he is doing and is very experienced. I felt in safe hands the whole time. Highly recommend. Thanks again Josh!

    Had a fabulous flight with Josh last Friday 11th November 22. Asked for, and got, a voucher for my 76th birthday so I phoned Josh saying the weather looked good for the weekend. He said "How about this afternoon?" Four hours later I was floating over the cliffs from Newhaven towards Brighton and watching a memorable sunset from 300'. High above Telscombe Josh let me take control - mesmerising - before we headed back to the beach for a very sedate landing right next to my car! Wonderful experience. Thanks.

    I went on a tandem Paraglide with Josh as a birthday present and had an excellent flight - Josh is clearly a very skilled and passionate paraglider and he made sure my 4h journey to the activity was worth it! I would gladly come back/recommend to friends or family. A day to remember. Thank you, Josh!

    Amazing! I wasn’t initially booked in to fly but had come to watch my partner. A space unexpectedly opened up at the end of the day and I got to go on a tandem flight with Josh. I was nervous beforehand but he VERY patiently talked everything through before we took off, and then when we were up it was a brilliant experience. Bucket list item checked off, can’t recommend Josh enough!
