Paragliding in Lebanon is one of the most exciting ways to experience the country’s coastline, mountains and Mediterranean views. For many first-time flyers, the idea of running from a mountain takeoff and floating above Jounieh Bay feels both thrilling and unfamiliar. The good news is that tandem paragliding is designed for beginners. You do not need previous flying experience, special training or technical knowledge. With Paragliding 961 LB, your flight is guided by a certified tandem pilot who handles the technical side while you enjoy the view.

What Is Tandem Paragliding?

Tandem paragliding is a flight experience where a passenger flies with a trained pilot using a specially designed two-person paraglider. The pilot controls the flight, manages takeoff and landing, and gives the passenger simple instructions before the experience begins. This makes paragliding in Lebanon suitable for first-time flyers, tourists, couples, families and adventure seekers who want to enjoy the sky without needing to learn how to fly alone.

Where Does Paragliding 961 Fly?

Most Paragliding 961 LB experiences start in Jounieh, with transportation to the Ghosta takeoff area. From there, passengers enjoy a scenic flight with views over Jounieh Bay, Harissa, the Mediterranean Sea and the Lebanese coastline. This location is one of the most beautiful places for paragliding in Lebanon because it combines mountain takeoff views with a coastal flight experience. On a clear day, the view from the sky gives passengers a completely different perspective of Jounieh and the surrounding area.

Do You Need Experience?

No previous experience is needed. Tandem paragliding is beginner-friendly because the certified pilot manages the flight. Before takeoff, you receive a short safety briefing and simple instructions about what to do during takeoff, how to sit during the flight and what to expect during landing. The most important thing is to listen to the pilot’s instructions, stay relaxed and enjoy the experience.

What Happens Before the Flight?

Before your flight, the team confirms availability, weather conditions and meeting details. Since paragliding depends on wind and visibility, the final flight timing may depend on the conditions of the day. Once you arrive, the pilot checks the equipment, explains the basic safety instructions and prepares you for takeoff. You will be connected to the pilot using a tandem harness, and the pilot will guide you through each step.

How Long Does the Flight Last?

A standard tandem paragliding flight usually lasts around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on weather conditions. The full experience takes longer because it includes meeting, transportation to the takeoff area, preparation, safety briefing, flight time and landing. With Paragliding 961 LB, the standard experience also includes a 4K GoPro video recording, allowing you to keep and share the memory after your flight.

Is Paragliding Safe?

Safety is one of the most important parts of paragliding in Lebanon. Paragliding 961 LB follows a safety-focused process that includes certified pilot experience, equipment checks, weather monitoring and passenger briefing before takeoff. If the weather is not suitable, the flight may be delayed, rescheduled or cancelled. This decision is made for safety reasons and helps protect both the passenger and the pilot. Before booking, you can read more on our Paragliding Safety page.

What Should You Wear?

Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, such as sports shoes or hiking shoes. Avoid sandals, slippers or loose footwear. Sunglasses are also helpful during the flight, especially on sunny days. Avoid carrying loose items that may fall during the flight. If you are unsure what to bring, ask the team before your booking.

Who Can Try Paragliding?

Paragliding can be suitable for many people, including first-time flyers, tourists, families and groups. However, age, weight, weather and pilot approval may affect whether someone can fly safely. If you have a medical condition, injury, mobility concern or any hesitation, contact the team before booking so they can guide you properly.
