My first time paragliding and it was an experience of a life time. Probably the best thing I've ever done. Mitch (the owner) was super nice and talkative and definitely knew what he was doing. Would highly recommend using this business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Complete Soaring Forecast Available via Evadernet

Is there a certain age I have to be to fly?

No, but if you are under 18, we will need to have a adult guardian fill out the paperwork. People of all ages enjoy the freedom of flying tandem, from one year old, to eighty-one years old.

Do I have to be physically fit to fly tandem?

During take off and landings, you may be required to run, so you may not have to be a marathon runner, but some physical fitness is required. If you can take a few running steps, then you will be fine to take a tandem flight. With a tandem paraglider, it takes the cooperation of the passenger and pilot to take off. During flight, the passenger will be asked to help steer the paraglider by leaning left or right—similar to riding passenger on a motorcycle.

Is there a weight restriction for the passenger?

Yes. The passenger must weigh over 60lbs and under 215lbs. This is because we must adhere to the certified load rating of our tandem glider, both for safety and performance.

How do we launch or take off?

We will both be hooked into the glider, passenger out front, pilot in rear with the glider laid out on the hill behind us in a horseshoe shape. When all the pre-flight checks have been completed and the pilot and passenger are both ready to take off, the pilot will call out 1,2,3 go and pick up the wing. With a couple of steps forward and down the hill, we will be airborne on a soaring flight that will be remembered for the rest of your life.

How do we land?

Part of our pre-flight check is teaching you what we need to do to land. Its really very simple. The passenger will get out of his/her seat and listen for the commands of the pilot. We usually touch down like a feather on Kings Beach.

Can the passenger fly the paraglider?

Yes. This is a instructional tandem flight so we will do everything we can to help you understand the paraglider and how it works. Condition permitting, the passenger can take control of the paraglider and soar the ridge with the security of having a professional Tandem Instructor on-board. The Tandem Instructor will Launch and Land the paraglider, but there is plenty of time for the passenger to fly the glider if he/she wishes to do so.

Can we fly every day?

No. This is a weather permitting sport. If the winds aren’t cooperating, we wont be able to fly on that particular day. If this is the case, we will either rebook our flight for another day, or you will be given a refund on your money.

Can we fly in groups?

Absolutely! Lake Tahoe Paragliding has five USHPA Certified Tandem Instructors available to take groups of people flying at the same time. This is a great way to experience this incredible sport.

Do you offer gift certificates?

We sure do! Click to visit our store below and purchase a gift certificate for the amount of your choice.
