What to expect

You'll arrive at the cliff-top launch site near Sopelana and be fitted with a harness and helmet by your pilot. After a brief safety chat, you'll run off the edge together—the initial step is the biggest part. Once airborne, the nerves quickly dissolve as thermals lift you higher. The pilot controls everything; your job is to enjoy the views of the Basque shoreline below and the surrounding terrain. Depending on wind and thermals, you might climb steadily or drift gently. The descent is gradual and controlled, landing on a designated zone nearby.

Good to know

Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Infants and toddlers in prams/strollers are welcome at the launch area but won't fly. All surfaces are wheelchair accessible. Bring the video's micro SD card yourself if you want a digital copy. Book early, especially in peak season—weather windows can be narrow.
