Henorita can’t help you join the mile high club, but we can take you paragliding strapped to a strong, skilful señor
on your hen weekend ?! This really is, as you can probably imagine,
a very exciting and uplifting way for you to enjoy your afternoon
from a completely different angle altogether. |
 |
You will be met at your hotel by your Henorita representative and you will be taken to one of the hilltop locations 25-45 minutes drive from Benidorm (whichever location is best on the day). When you arrive at the take off/landing spot (approx 100-250m above sea level), you will meet your tandem pilot. All of the pilots are officially recognised by the Royal Spanish Aeronautical Association (R.F.A.E) so you will be in safe hands. |
 |
You
will be securely strapped into your seat-harness and briefed on what
to do during take off and landing. You don’t just jump off a cliff into thin air ! Paragliders are launched by running off moderate slopes with the glider inflated until you are lifted off your feet. So, it’s
actually less scary and more relaxing than you may initially think.
After take off your pilot will be fully in control, so all you need
to do is just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride ! |
 |
As there are no noisy motors, you can enjoy the tranquillity and the natural sounds around you as your expert pilot manoeuvres skilfully, using the geothermal air currents, dynamic winds and of course gravity. The flight lasts about 20 minutes during which time you will witness breathtaking views as you glide over the mountains and spectacular scenery of the Mediterranean coastline. |
 |
Comfortable clothes are
a must and I wouldn’t recommend wearing a skirt either, unless you
want the whole town coming to watch! Shorts and t-shirt are fine
in summer…something
a little warmer in the winter. Trainers are the ideal footwear. Flip
flops, sandals or stilettos are not suitable, especially when it
comes to the landing ! |
 |
Due to the nature of this activity you will only be allowed to fly in suitable weather conditions, as safety is obviously our priority. In the event that it is not possible in any of our locations on your chosen day, we will aim to give you at least 24hrs notice. We will do our best to offer you an alternative activity or you can simply have a full refund. |
