Tandem paragliding, explained
No experience is needed: the instructor flies, you enjoy the view.
The flight is a tandem. You sit at the front, in a harness; the instructor sits behind you and keeps control from start to finish.
You take off on foot, facing the wind, in a few steps. The wing fills above you, the ground drops away and the noise fades: all that is left is Martinique beneath your feet — the hills, the forest, the coves and the Caribbean Sea.
The flight lasts about thirty minutes. Your instructor may hand you the controls for a while, or throw in a few manoeuvres if you fancy them: nothing is compulsory, it is all decided in the air.
It is an experience worth having at least once: striking, intensely visual, and open to someone who has never flown before.
Where we fly
Four take-off sites in the south of Martinique. Which one depends on the weather that day: Olivier tells you the place and the time when he calls you back.
Anse Grosse Roche, at Le Marin
A ridge flight, take-off 60 metres above the sea and flying between 180 and 200 metres. You land on the beach, in front of the coconut palms.
Morne Larcher, at Le Diamant
A ridge flight over Diamant bay. Take-off 150 metres above the sea after a twenty-minute walk; the flight runs at around 600 metres.
Morne Gommier, at Le Marin
A thermal flight, with road access right up to launch, 250 metres above the sea. Flying between 600 and 800 metres, overlooking Le Marin bay, Sainte-Anne, the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea.
