Paragliding & Hang-Gliding |

Fly Korea is your
choice of paragliding & hang-gliding certified instruction center in
Korea.
Korea is the home country of the world-famous
paraglider manufactures such as Gingliders and
Edel. This new sport has become one of the
most popular outdoor activities in Europe, Japan,
Korea, South Africa, Australia, and some countries in
South America. Now, it is very rapidly catching
on in the United States. Its simple design
and light wing allow you to carry the whole gears easily,
weighing only twenty-five pounds and folding up
in a backpack. This makes paragliding the
ultimate thrill in foot-launched flight.

It will set you free and soaring with birds on silent
wings.
Many hills and mountains accounting for over
70% of Korean territory and mild weather guarantee

No previous flying experience is necessary because
we will teach you to launch and fly.

allow us to limit class size so you receive plenty of personal attention.
Lessons are taught year-round if the weather permits.

addition, bring a pair of light leather gloves. On cold days, wear appropriate
