How a local tandem day works

Your first introduction to paragliding, near your stay

A first tandem can be a simple way to get to know paragliding while you are staying in Bečići or Rafailovići. Our local team explains the Brajići flying day, what you need to prepare, and why the weather can change the plan. You can ask about a real flight once the basic details are clear; there is no instant booking.

Before a possible flight, a person from the team can discuss practical questions and the meeting plan. At Brajići, the responsible tandem pilot checks the equipment and conditions, explains takeoff and landing, and makes the final decision. This is an introduction to flying, not pilot training or a guaranteed outing.

Tandem flight and practical fees

The usual tandem fee can vary with the season. See the practical FAQ for indicative amounts and optional GoPro details. The local team confirms the actual fee and flight conditions.

Pilot GoPro recording is optional and has a separate fee explained in the practical FAQ. After successful recording, the footage comes on an SD card or via a download link when ready.

Airtime, the exact flight line, and the final landing choice depend on the conditions on the day.

From Bečići to Brajići

Brajići is roughly 15–20 minutes by road from Bečići in normal traffic. The launch is about 760 m above sea level, high above the Budva Riviera.

A tandem flight is not a fixed-time ride. Wind at the launch, conditions along the route, landing options, and the pilot’s final assessment all matter.

First flight? That is normal.

You do not need previous paragliding experience. You fly together with a tandem pilot, who controls the wing and guides you through the few things you need to do during takeoff and landing.

Wear secure shoes and comfortable clothes suitable for the temperature at the launch. If weight, mobility, age, or another practical detail may affect the flight, ask the team before the day.

Paragliding, not parasailing

Tandem paragliding launches from a mountain slope and flies freely under a paraglider. It is not the boat-towed parasailing you may see from Bečići beach.

If you are looking for the beach activity instead, see parasailing.me/becici.

Current ridge reading

Brajići weather before the Bečići flight

The Brajići station shows current conditions at the launch area. It is useful context for the day, but the tandem pilot still assesses the full conditions before flying.

A live station reading is not a go/no-go decision. Wind at launch, conditions along the route, the landing area, and the pilot's final assessment still decide whether the flight goes ahead.
