  • Chania

Upon arriving at the take-off area, take some time to enjoy the beautiful views. Your pilot will begin to prepare the glider, while constantly and thoroughly checking the weather conditions. Watch him unfold the glider and deal with the hundreds of lines — a routine procedure for him. Then, gear up, putting your harness and helmet on. As your pilot prepares, he’ll tell you a few things you need to know about the experience and describe how you’ll feel in the air, so as to make the transition into flight easier on you.

As the passenger, you’ll go in front, connected to the pilot who will control the glider. He’ll inflate the glider, and all you have to do is run a few steps forward. 3, 4, and you’re off. There are no words to describe the feeling of flying over Chania, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. When you are close to the ground, you and your pilot will land softly, jogging a few steps forward as you come into contact with the ground. In rare cases, weather might make your landing a little faster. In this case, you’ll experience a bum landing. Your instructor is equipped to handle this special landing and any other issue that may arise.

  • Chania

Paratriking is an activity directing at all ages, all people, even people with special needs, as it is absolutely safe and no experience is required. The suitable equipment is given to the passengers from the experienced pilot/instructor! It is called paratriking because it includes a three-wheel vechicle(trike) with two seats which help the passenger and the pilot be comfortable and enjoy their flights. They both wear helmets wired so they can speak to each other all the time! With the powerful engine and the parachute it only takes 1 minute to get up in the air! You can admire the mountains filled with snow and at the same time you can feel the sun and the clouds on your skin, while watching the sea underneath!Undoubtedly It’s an experience worth to live!
