Come for a flight with us
If you want a taste of free flight, let one of our experienced and HPAC certified tandem pilots take you for the ride of your life. You won’t be disappointed! BC Paragliding offers tandem flights in the Fraser Valley. We also can fly on Vancouver island by appointment. We can accommodate groups depending on pilot availability.
Prior to launching we do a preflight briefing and discuss all aspects of the launch, and answer any questions you may have. Once our harnesses are on and all straps checked, we will simulate the launch several times, before connecting to the wing. After connecting we do a full equipment safety and readiness checks.

When you arrive
Your adventure begins when you meet your pilot at the landing field (LZ). After signing waivers we drive up to the launch in a 4×4 vehicle. The panoramic view on launch is spectacular. Now it’s time to prepare for your flight. The total turn around time for your adventure is about 2 hours.
Walk forward and pull…
Are you ready to fly? When we are ready, and the conditions are just right, we will begin walking together to bring the wing overhead. You will feel the tug of the wing. Once the wing is fully inflated, we will accelerate down the slope until we lift off and fly away from launch. Whoo hoo! Exhilarating!
Once we are clear of launch you can sit back comfortably in your harness and get your camera out if you have one. If the conditions are right we will be able to climb above launch in thermals, or soar up in ridge lift. Sometimes we climb up to cloud base and it is not unusual to fly with eagles.
If you are up to it, you can steer, and even experience some light aerobatic maneuvers. The average flight is 30 minutes, and we often stay up for an hour. Prior to touching down you will be briefed on the landing procedure.
