The high paragliding season is here. Book your flight in advance to secure your place in the best conditions. These are the months when the most visitors arrive in Morocco and when it pays most to plan ahead.
Morocco allows flying for much of the year, but demand is concentrated on certain dates. We give you some ideas to choose the right day and time for your flight and enjoy it to the fullest.
Why book in advance
In high season the number of people who want to fly increases, and the time slots with the best conditions fill up first. Booking early gives you more options for choosing the day and zone, and lets us organise the flights calmly.
In addition, having some margin means we can change the date if the weather does not cooperate, without you having to give up the flight.
Choosing the right time
In general, the air is calmer early in the morning and late in the afternoon, while at midday the heat generates more active thermals. For a first flight the calmer hours are usually preferred; for experienced pilots, thermals can be an opportunity.
The pilot decides the best time according to the wind and the zone, so the wisest thing is to ask us.
Tips for the day of the flight
Have a light breakfast, drink water and avoid loose clothing that could snag. Wear closed shoes, sunglasses, sun protection and a light warm layer for the waiting moments. Arrive early at the meeting point and follow the pilot's instructions.
If you do not feel well or have doubts, tell us: we would rather delay a flight than do it when you are not comfortable.
What to see and do during your trip
High season is also a good time to discover Morocco. Combine your flight with a visit to Marrakech, an excursion in the Atlas or a day on the coast.
If you are travelling with family or friends, leave a margin between activities and avoid packing everything into one day: that way you can adapt to the weather and enjoy without rushing.
How to prepare physically
For a tandem flight you do not need to be fit, but you should be able to walk or run a few steps at take-off. If you are going to take a course, some stamina and good mobility are useful.
Sleeping well the night before, staying hydrated and avoiding too much food or alcohol on the day of the flight make a big difference to how you experience it.
Conclusion: Booking early is the best way to secure your flight. Choose the zone, write to us and we will help you find the best moment to fly this season.
