You’ll be able to see more than 200 square kilometers of the beautiful Fethiye scenery. If you choose the second flight of the day, at 11:00, it’s likely to be the longest due to thermal activity.

Very pleasant day with the destination of the nicest corners of the sector. The team is top notch, always very attentive: drinks, music, excellent meals… For the price, I recommend 100%. However, during the stopover in the Butterfly Valley, we made the mistake of paying to access the "waterfalls" which are located at the bottom of the valley: do not waste your precious time to go there, nothing exceptional. No waterfall and no butterfly observed. A long walk for finally nothing very interesting to see there. We couldn't enjoy the beauty of the beach because the trip to the waterfalls was very long. This is the only downside for this cruise but the organizer is in no way responsible for this. Go for it, you won't regret it!

My wife and I had a great time flying with Hanuman, it was an incredible experience. Everything was perfectly managed from communication with the office, to punctual pick up service and highly experienced pilots. My pilot was Deniz and he was extremely safe and professional. My wife had Baris selected as her pilot as my wife was quite nervous and he has very good English, so he was able to talk with her and calm her down and made her so relaxed that she considered this flight as her number one experience of our one month holiday in Turkey! She thoroughly enjoyed her time in the air as did I. Well done Hanuman!

I had a wonderful experience with Hanuman Paragliding. Hotel pickup was punctual. It is my first time paragliding and the pilots and guides were all very friendly and professional, made us feel comfortable and safe with moments of fun thrill up in the air. Pictures taken were well taken and angled by the pilot. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Fethiye!

This was fantastic. We had never bin before and the staff were wonderful. I would recinrnd a pair of gloves ,sun glases and a coat as it gets a little cold with the wind . Flight is about 35-45 mins depending on wind . Minibus up to the top of the hill and Flight back down . It was brilliant.

If you are crazy for beautiful views like me, this is a MUST EXPERIENCY activity. The view of Ölüdeniz from above is just breathtaking and worth everything. My pilot Matt was amazing too & he took great pictures. :)
