No experience, no gear, no training. A first tandem flight at Aguergour, guided from the moment you arrive until you are back down. From €60.
A discovery flight is a first flight, flown tandem with a licensed pilot. It is not a lesson: you are not learning to fly, you are flying. It is the option almost every visitor discovering paragliding in Marrakech chooses, and it needs no preparation at all.
The question we hear most is not technical, it is human: “will I be scared?”. The answer lies in the take-off. There is no jump, no drop, no tipping into thin air as in skydiving: the wing is already carrying you when your feet leave the ground, and the shift from walking to flying takes one second.
Most passengers at Aguergour had never flown before. The on-site briefing is enough: three instructions, two minutes.
That is the only real entry requirement, with a 100 kg maximum. Children who reach that weight fly with a pilot, just like adults.
The pilot can film and photograph during the flight, pole in hand. It is an optional extra — ask for it when you book.
A discovery flight is easy to give: the date is set afterwards, around the weather and the person’s schedule.
We confirm your slot the day before, once we have read the forecast. Eat normally, sleep normally: a discovery flight needs no physical preparation.
You run a few steps, the harness catches you, you sit down. After that moment, most passengers stop gripping and start looking at the lake.
You land on your feet in the field below, the wing is packed, you drive back up. Allow half a day on site in total, transfer included if you asked for one.
The thrill of soaring over Marrakech with breathtaking panoramas beneath your feet. A unique experience led by professionals.
Apprehension is normal, and it plays out before take-off, not during. Because there is no jump and no fall — the wing already carries you as you leave the ground — the feeling of empty space never comes. Most passengers relax within the first minute of flight.
The criterion is not age but weight: from 30 kg, with a parent’s consent and presence for a minor. In practice that often means around ten years old. Write to us with the child’s weight and we will tell you whether it works.
Yes. Book the flight in your name and mention that it is a gift: we do not fix a date at purchase — it is agreed later with the recipient, around the weather and their stay.
Vertigo comes from visual contact with a nearby fixed point — a cliff edge, the drop below a balcony. In flight that reference disappears: nothing links your eye to the ground. Many people who suffer from vertigo fly with no discomfort at all. Mention it to your pilot and he will fly higher and straighter.
A wing certified for two, a licensed pilot behind you, 10 to 15 minutes in the air facing Lalla Takerkoust lake. From €60 per person.
