Ask your question
Is it scary?

There is no jump, so you never get that falling feeling. The wing already carries you when your feet leave the ground. Most people who arrive nervous spend the last minutes looking at the view. Tell your pilot, and he will fly gently and avoid sharp turns.

Do I need experience or training?

No. This is a tandem flight. The pilot is licensed, sits behind you and holds the controls the whole time. Your only job at take-off is to walk three steps into the wind.

How fit do I need to be?

If you can walk a few metres on a slope and take two or three steps at take-off, you can fly. Tell us first if you have back problems, heart problems, a recent operation, or if you are pregnant.

What if the wind is not good?

We never fly in doubtful conditions. If the weather closes in, we move your flight to another time of day, to another day, or we give your money back if you are leaving Marrakech.

How long does the whole thing take?

Plan half a day: the drive from Marrakech, the 4x4 ride up, the gear and the briefing, the flight, then packing the wing and coming back. The time in the air is 10 to 15 minutes of that.

What should I wear?

Closed shoes that stay on your feet, long trousers, a wind jacket because it is cooler up there, and sunglasses. We give you the helmet and the harness.

Is there a weight or age limit?

We fly passengers from about 30 kg to 110 kg. Children fly with a parent on site, as soon as they can wear the harness and follow simple instructions. Send us the age and the weight and we will tell you.

When is the best season?

We fly all year. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. In summer we fly early in the morning or at the end of the day, when the air is calm and the light is at its best.

Do I get photos and videos?

Yes, with the Flight + Photos and Flight + Transfer options. The pilot films from the wing with a pole camera and hands you the files on a memory card before you leave.

How do I book and how do I pay?

Use the form on this site or send a WhatsApp message. We confirm the time the day before, once we have seen the weather. You pay on the day, in cash or by bank transfer. Nothing is paid online.

Ready to fly?

Book your flight above Aguergour and Lalla Takerkoust lake, and go home with the photos.
