| About suspension of the activity | The most important factor in the paragliding experience is the wind. Even if the weather is good, you may not be able to fly depending on the conditions. You can't fly when it's raining. For that purpose, we check the latest weather information to ensure that we can fly. On the day before the experience, please check the conditions and check if the event is held. If it is difficult to determine the forecast at the time, the host company will contact you. |
| Important notes regarding participation | Participants 5 years old or older can join the experience. Please consult with us in advance if you have a disability in your limbs or if you cannot walk. Please consult with us as you may be able to join the experience with the assistance of staff. |
