Description
Flight Park Tandems $125 – Overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands
Flight Park Tandems with Eagle Paragliding are available year-round, and can be enjoyed by all ages. The flight park is our most consistent flying location. We can schedule tandem flights all day when Mother Nature is cooperating. 12:30 pm is usually the best start time. Each participant will get two flights from the top of the flight park. Passengers enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands to the south, and the Santa Ynez mountain range to the north. One of our prime coastal flying sites is within view, and a short 3 minute drive from the flight park. We can upgrade you to a coastal paragliding tandem flight for an additional $75 if the wind direction and velocity make the coastal flight an option. We are unable to schedule coastal tandems due to the difficulty in forecasting the possibility of appropriate conditions. Participants wanting a coastal tandem meet Eagle at the flight park where we evaluate the winds to see if the coastal upgrade is possible. Our probability of getting appropriate conditions to fly a coastal tandem is low.
