The practical questions people ask once Becici Paragliding already feels close to right.

Becici Paragliding FAQ

These are the practical questions that usually come up once someone is already staying in or near Bečići and wants to understand how the Becici Paragliding day actually works.

How long does the whole activity usually take?

In normal weather, the aim is to keep the usual outing within about 60 minutes.

That usually includes:

• meeting in Bečići
• drive to launch
• short preparation and briefing
• the tandem paragliding airtime
• landing and a little time to reset afterward

But this should not be read as a rigid promise. Weather can create short waiting time, longer waiting time, or a move to another time window. If the day matters, keep some extra buffer time.

How long is the tandem paragliding airtime?

The standard regulated tandem paragliding format is up to 15 minutes.

That is the normal public expectation. In practice:

• the time in the air can be shorter if weather is weaker or the passenger condition requires it
• longer airtime is possible only in rarer edge cases

So the right expectation is the normal format, not the rare longer-airtime exception.

Where do we meet in Bečići?

The base local meeting reference is near Bečići beach.

Additional stable meeting references are near:

• Iberostar
• Tara
• Mediteran
• Montenegro
• Splendid

The exact meeting point is confirmed when you submit the request.

How far is the launch from the meeting point?

The drive from the meeting point to launch is usually about 15-20 minutes.

The launch itself is on the slope near Brajići, at about 750 m above sea level.

Where do we land?

Landing takes place on the dedicated paragliding landing area in Bečići near the beach.

That is one of the reasons this route feels easier from a Bečići stay: the activity begins and ends inside the same local holiday zone.

Is tandem paragliding only possible in summer?

No. Tandem paragliding is possible year-round when conditions allow.

What changes through the year is not the existence of the activity, but the size of the usable day window.

Typical windows are:

• winter: about 11-12 to 15-16
• spring and autumn: about 11 to 17
• summer: about 9 to 18

The strongest typical thermal window is often around 12 to 15.

What weather is best?

The best conditions usually mean:

• sunny weather
• moderate wind
• no cloud cover, or higher / variable cloud cover

Tandem paragliding is still possible in overcast weather, but the lift may be weaker and the time in the air may be shorter.

What if the weather changes after we already go to launch?

That can happen. Local conditions sometimes change by the time the team reaches the launch area.

Then the instructor decides what is safer:

• wait a bit
• return down
• move the activity to another time
• move it to another day

That decision is practical, not emotional. The point is not to force a launch in doubtful conditions.

How far in advance should I apply?

The best option is usually 1-3 days in advance. That gives the team more freedom to place you on the better day and the better time window.

Same-day participation can still be possible, sometimes even 1-2 hours before start, but only if:

• weather is suitable
• there is free pilot capacity

Capacity can vary by day. In stronger operating windows, the practical upper limit can reach up to 10 participants, but that depends on how many pilots are working that day.

What is the current price and what is included?

The current local price is 75 EUR per person.

That includes:

• transport from the meeting point to launch
• tandem paragliding with instructor

Optional extra:

• pilot action-camera video on SD card
• 15 EUR
• the card is handed to you after landing

When and how do I pay?

The normal rule is simple:

• payment is after landing
• payment is made at the landing area
• the main payment method is cash
• another payment method needs to be agreed in advance

For groups of 4 or more, a 30% deposit may be requested in advance.

What happens with cancellation and refund?

If the activity is cancelled because of weather, the refund is full.

If the participant cancels:

• earlier than 15 hours before the activity: full refund
• less than 15 hours before the activity: no refund

For group deposits, the return is made by the method agreed with the participant.

In everyday practice there is often no deposit at all, so this matters most for larger pre-arranged group requests.

What if I do not show up?

This matters mainly in larger group bookings where a deposit was taken.

If someone does not cancel in advance and does not arrive at the meeting point, the deposit is normally not returned.

If you are simply running late, warn the team. A softer, human reschedule can still be possible if the team has time to adapt.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement.

The main requirement is secure footwear that will not slip off during launch or landing. The best simple option is sneakers.

Also useful:

• a light wind layer when needed
• warmer clothing in winter
• sunglasses

At height, the air can feel about 5-10 degrees cooler than at sea level.

Do I need experience or strong language skills?

No flying experience is needed.

The main briefing languages are:

• English
• Montenegrin
• Russian

In practice, the briefing is short and practical. It is mostly a few clear instructions for launch, time in the air, and landing, not a long formal lecture.

Can I use my own phone or camera during tandem paragliding?

Yes, in practice you can use your own device, but you should clearly say in advance that you want to do that.

The device should be securely held. If you prefer the cleaner option, use the pilot action camera instead and take the SD card after landing.

Is there a weight limit?

Yes. The hard weight limit is up to 120 kg.

That is the main fixed physical participation limit.

Can children participate?

Yes, children can participate, but:

• a written permission form from the official representative is required
• the pilot carries the form
• the representative fills in the details and signs it

Depending on age, the representative may also accompany the child to launch if that is genuinely necessary or if there is free space.

Is this still the right route if I want the easiest local option?

Usually yes.

Becici Paragliding is strongest when you want:

• a nearby resort-based entry point
• a normal tandem paragliding format
• landing back in the same local holiday zone
• practical simplicity rather than a broader town-base day

If the real question is not convenience but town energy and a wider activity day, this Becici Paragliding FAQ may be too narrow. Use the nearby route first, then leave the Bečići path only if the nearby-stay answer is clearly not what you need.

If only one practical question remains, use contact. If you still need the day-shape explanation first, go to the nearby tandem paragliding route.
