Tandem Paragliding Flight in Florianópolis (No Filming)

The tandem paragliding flight in Florianópolis takes place over beaches in the North Island, usually Praia Brava and Santinho, pairing you with a certified instructor.

In the air, the flight lasts between 10 and 15 minutes; including preparation and travel to the takeoff site, the total experience takes about 2 hours. Flights take place in the afternoon when wind conditions become favorable (typically starting around 1:00 PM), with the exact launch point selected by the team on the day based on wind direction.

Minimum age is 14 years old, and maximum weight is between 110 kg and 120 kg, depending on daily conditions.

This option does not include video recording.

The North of Santa Catarina Island features beaches like Brava, Santinho, and Ingleses, facing open ocean and exposed to wind. This exposure, along with dunes and coastal cliffs, creates the thermal currents necessary for free flight, making it the local hub for paragliding and paramotoring.

From above, the landscape shifts in scale: beaches stretch between rocky cliffs, sand dunes appear against green restinga vegetation, and the ocean blends from emerald to deep blue. In late afternoon, the lowering sun casts golden reflections over the water, making afternoon flights particularly popular.
