Plan description

The two-person paragliding experience allows you to experience a bird's-eye view, something you would never see in your everyday life. Experience a true aerial walk, experiencing the incredible views of the majestic Aso Mountains and the sounds of the sky. This is the only truly moving, extraordinary experience! *This experience involves flying with an instructor. *In order to maintain the quality of our services and further strengthen our safety system, we have decided to revise our fees starting in January 2026. We appreciate your understanding as this is a decision we have made to provide our customers with a safe and exciting aerial experience. [Experience Process] [The day before] We will contact you with the meeting location and whether the experience will proceed. [The day of] Please arrive at the meeting location at the scheduled time. Please contact us (using the phone number you provided the day before) upon arrival at the meeting location. The pilot will check the wind conditions on-site. If the wind is uncertain (strength and direction), we will determine whether or not the flight is possible. (If flight is possible) → If there is an updraft, you will soar higher than the takeoff point, and your landing point will be the same as the takeoff point. The flight takes about 20 minutes. The experience will end after the tour. →If there are no updrafts, the landing point will be in a plain 2.5km away, and you will be taken to the meeting point in a shuttle vehicle. The flight takes about 60 minutes. The experience will end after you return to the meeting point. *You won't know if there are updrafts until you fly. (If you can't fly immediately, but waiting increases the chances of flying) →If the schedule allows you to wait and there are no reservations for the next time slot. →If there are reservations for the next time slot, the experience will be cancelled.

Q&A about this plan Ask question about this plan

Q. Hi, is there any weight restriction for this activity? My husband is 90kg, can he also join us in the paragliding activity? Thanks in advance.

A. Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, your husband is welcome but there is some conditions.
①He has to be healthy and young - *overweight + older (around 60~) is high risk to injury so cannot join
②Wind condition - overweight passenger needs moderate wind to take off. If it's too weak wind on the day, it's too hard to take off (Of course too windy is bad). Our pilots will judge the wind on time on site.

When you make a booking, please let us know your "age" and "weight", and "that you understand the above conditions well".
We look forward to your reservation.
Thank you.

Q. Hello! I am a tourist from Hong Kong. My family will be coming to Aso next week. My mother and aunt are very keen to experience tandem paragliding (my mother has dreamed of this her whole life), but they are both now 64 and 68 years old. Is it mandatory for participants to be between 7 and 60 years old, or is it just the recommended age? Thank you!

A. Hello. Unfortunately, this experience has an age restriction of under 60 years. Because there is a high risk of fractures, etc. I'm sorry.
