a pity that the offer does not match what is stated on their website
We booked 'The Main Flight' from Ohrid. Take-off was NOT 'located above Trpejca village', but on the other side (NE) of the lake, so not with the famous viewpoints. We drove in their minibus instead of the promised Jeep (and that was exactly what convinced us to book with FlyOhrid) & there were 4 of us sitting in a seat for 3, ( with belt receiver under your bum) so not comfortable driving uphill on a bumpy road. The flight itself was OK, during the flight they ask you if you 'really don't want the extra acrobatic flight'. My advice: before booking, ask about the things you really want!

Cool but shameful
The experience was cool we did it as a family with my 2 children of 9 and 12 years old; it’s safe BUT they forgot to turn on the cameras so we don’t have the video memories...
Operator response
Please get back in link frpm google drive witch we send to you we have all photos and videos.
Or contact me please. This is misunderstanding.

Amazing experience
Such a great experience, would highly recommend to anyone. The whole team were professional from start to finish, making sure safety was top priority. The place we were going to be paragliding from became too windy and the guys went out of their way to find a spot in a different area that was safe and suitable to paraglide from. The paragliding itself was an amazing experience that we would both love to do again, the views were amazing and the experience was very calming. Also included in the price were a lot of photos and videos while we were up in the air, which are great to look back on.

Paragliding out of season
The communication and the flight went smoothly. Even though I wanted to fly out of season, they responded quickly and were quite flexible.
I was picked up from the apartment, everything was explained to me and later I was brought home.
The flight itself was great, with the additional beautiful view of Lake Ohrid. The flight was shorter than expected, as paragliding is very dependent on the weather (the wind).
After all, there is no motor to propel us up :D
That's why it's 9/10 :)
