The birds are starting to sing, the days are getting longer and the sun is beating down to bring some welcome warmth.

We are pleased to announce that we now provide tandem paragliding flights from our two sites at Woolacombe and Putsborough in 2021.

Depending on the conditions for the day we can choose either to fly the Hang Glider or Paraglider - providing us with a bigger window with regard to the weather!

With the announcement from the UK Government of the COVID-19 Response Spring 2021 together with the guidelines from our national association, the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA) we will recommence dual tandem flights from the 12th April 2021.

This will be subject to any change indicated by the UK Government and/or the BHPA between now and the 12th April 2021.

We will continue to follow our COVID-19 Procedures during our daily operations which are detailed with your booking packages.

If you have a voucher, and you are not already booked in with potential dates, we have availability from the 19th April onwards.

Thank you again for your continued patience and support during this difficult time, we look forward to getting back in the skies soon! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us: https://flylikeabird.co.uk/contact-us.php

Important Update

With the continuation of the Covid-19 Virus, following the guidelines set by the UK government we regrettably announce that we will suspend all our Tandem Air Experience flying until March 2021.

We will review the situation with the BHPA, our national association and with the guidance of the UK Government during the week of the 22nd February and amend our dates accordingly at that time.

We will continue to monitor this and provide updates here on any changes in dates and advice from the UK government in relation to our activities.

We are still accepting new bookings and continue to offer our very flexible 2 year validity period which would commence on 1st April 2021.

Thank you for your continued patience and flexibility during this very difficult time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at all.
