The sequence above is the basic flight day. These are the details that are most useful before you leave Bečići.
Before you go up to Brajići
Once the conditions look potentially workable, agree the meeting point and timing with the team. Bečići and Rafailovići are compact, so the practical point may be near your hotel, the beach area, or another clear nearby reference.
Keep the plan flexible. Coastal weather can change faster than a hotel-day schedule, and the useful flying window may move.
At the launch
Brajići sits at about 760 m above sea level. Before takeoff, your pilot checks the wing and harness, the wind at launch, the landing conditions, and the overall margin for the flight.
You will get a short briefing on what to do during takeoff and landing. Most passengers are flying for the first time, so the instructions are kept simple.
If the conditions are not right, the correct decision may be to wait, try a later window, or go back down without flying.
After takeoff
Airtime is usually up to about 15 minutes, but the exact duration and line depend on the conditions. The pilot chooses the route in the air; the flight is not a fixed sightseeing track.
Landing is normally at the designated paragliding landing area in the Bečići area. The exact landing choice is part of the pilot’s safety decision on the day.
Non-flying friends or family can often stay around Bečići rather than making the trip to Brajići.
Price and GoPro
The ordinary tandem fee is often around €79 per person in quieter months (roughly November–May) or around €99 in busier months (roughly June–October). These are indicative seasonal figures, not exact calendar tariffs or a guaranteed quote. The team confirms the actual amount as part of checking the flying day. Pilot GoPro recording is optional at a separate €10, with an SD card after the flight or a download link when the files are ready.
Pilot GoPro recording is optional and costs €10. When the camera is used and the recording is successful, you receive the SD card immediately after the flight or a download link when the files are ready.
The camera is a memory extra, not part of the decision about whether the day is safe to fly.
How much time should you leave?
On a smooth day, the local outing can often fit within about one hour from meeting to return, but do not build an airport transfer, checkout, dinner reservation, or another fixed commitment around an exact landing minute.
Weather and launch timing come first.
Current ridge reading

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.

Quick answers
Is there one fixed meeting point?
No. Once the day looks workable, the local team agrees a practical meeting point in Bečići or Rafailovići. Your hotel area or another clear nearby point may be used depending on the day.
How long is the drive to Brajići?
Roughly 15–20 minutes from Bečići in normal traffic. The launch is about 760 m above sea level.
What happens at the launch?
Your tandem pilot checks the equipment and current conditions, explains the takeoff, and makes the final go/no-go decision. You do not need previous paragliding experience.
What if the conditions are not right?
We may wait, move the flying window, or return without flying. A sunny beach day does not automatically mean suitable conditions at Brajići.
Where do we land?
Normally at the designated paragliding landing area in the Bečići area. The exact landing decision depends on the conditions and belongs to the pilot.
Can friends or family wait in Bečići?
Usually, yes. Non-flying companions can often stay near the beach, hotel, or cafes instead of travelling to the launch.
What is the flight fee and can the pilot use a GoPro?
The usual tandem fee can vary by season. Indicative amounts and GoPro details are in the practical FAQ; the team confirms the quote and flight conditions.
