“It was peaceful once airborne and not strenuous at all. The guide flew safely and well and took lots of photos and short movies. My advice is only take a small bag, with essentials, no water needed there is a cafe at the landing site. Wear a light jacket. My bigger bag had to be left in the van, and the van was different to the one I took back from the landing site. It was ok though as they dropped my bag to my accommodation later. Definitely recommend this activity.”

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”
