“Unprofessional team. Picked up at 7:30 am and then took us to collect bread, cigars on way! Which delayed our arrival time from 9 am to 10! The pilot didn't gave proper and clear instructions and as a result I fell down and hurt my legs! Instead of checking if I am okay, the pilot got upset! We somehow completed the flight but my experience was totally ruined. Then we were made to wait for 45 mins for drop off back to hotel This time it took us 1 and half hour to reach back hotel which was only 45 mins away! All because the team took us to bank,…”

“Bad experience with Payless Tourizm for the following reasons: 1- Communication and coordination was a disaster. They kept confusing the time and never answered quickly. They barely spoke English. 2- The experience said videos and pictures are $25 but the pilots told us to $40. When I complained to the organizer he said it was up to us to pay ask much as we want. This is clearly a scam. As for the paragliding company. The owner was lovely. The training was cool. The pilots were experienced and very comforting. The flight was amazing. However the only thing that was a hazard was the driver driving up to the mountain.…”

“çok keyifli bir deneyimdi, Pilotum Hüseyin Karadaş'ın donanımlı oluşu uçuşumu oldukça keyifli kıldı, kolay bir kalkış ve iniş yaptık, bir süre paraşütü benim kullanmamı sağlaması güzel bir anı oldu. Deniz aşağıda, yukarıda gökyüzü ve ikisinin arasında ben:) muhteşemdi. Gökyüzünden aşağıyı izlerken bölgeyi göstererek anlatması (Şurası Kelebekler Vadisi, şurası Fethiye merkez, şurası Kıdrak plajı vs ) farklı bakış açısı kattı. Bölgenin sunduğu muhteşem manzara ve havanın da güzel oluşuyla unutulmayacak bir gün yaşadım. Artık bence paraşütle uçmak, 1.sınıf uçmanın farklı bir versiyonu:) teşekkürlerrrrr”
