Full description

This Atlas Mountains tandem paragliding flight from Marrakech offers you a half-day adventure soaring high above the Kik Plateau. Designed for travellers who want to see Morocco from a completely different angle, this experience requires absolutely no previous flying experience. You will fly strapped into a harness in front of a pilot who handles the navigation, making it ideal if you are looking for an introduction to paragliding.

Your experience begins with a private transfer from your Marrakech hotel or riad directly to the launch site on the Kik Plateau. As you gain altitude with your pilot, the landscape opens up to reveal terraced fields and dry river beds directly below you. You will enjoy views stretching across the High Atlas mountains on one side and the stony Agafay desert side on the other. The flight lasts around twenty minutes in the air, depending entirely on the day's wind and thermals.

Your safety and comfort are fully looked after with all paragliding equipment provided and a dedicated pilot guiding your flight. Private return transport is arranged specifically for your booking, ensuring you do not have to share your journey with other groups. Pilots can communicate in English, French, Spanish, Berber, and Arabic, helping you feel at ease during your pre-flight briefing. You can also bring your own camera or phone with a secure strap to capture your flight.

Because paragliding is completely weather-dependent, your flight is treated as a flexible, weather-led activity rather than a rigid timetable. We coordinate a morning or afternoon window with you via WhatsApp, and the pilot makes the final safety call on site. If conditions do not allow a safe launch, you do not fly and you do not pay for the flight. This half-day trip fits easily into your itinerary and brings you back to Marrakech with plenty of time left in the day.

Good to know before you book

  • Flying is entirely conditional on wind and weather. The pilot's decision on the day is final and we will offer another slot or cancel rather than fly in unsuitable conditions.
  • The flight operator sets a maximum combined weight of 300 kg for two paragliding participants — this is a combined limit for the two people flying, not an individual passenger weight allowance, and no individual weight limit is published because we have not verified one. Minimum age and health restrictions are set by the operator and confirmed before we take a booking — tell us the passenger details when you enquire, and anyone with a medical concern should take medical advice first.
  • Timings shift with the season and the thermals, so we agree the window with you rather than publishing a fixed departure time.
  • Flights depend entirely on wind and weather, with the pilot making the final safety call on the day.
  • Wear closed shoes with grip, such as trainers, and bring a windproof layer as it is cooler in the air.
  • The flight operator sets a maximum combined weight of 300 kg for two paragliding participants.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any experience?

No. It is a tandem flight — the pilot controls the wing and you are attached in a harness in front. You only need to walk a few steps at launch and land on your feet.

From the Kik Plateau, the high ground south-west of Marrakech. From the air you get a panoramic view over the Agafay desert side on one hand and the High Atlas on the other.

How long is the flight?

Around 20 minutes in the air. The exact time depends on the wind and thermals on the day, which the pilot reads on site.

What happens if the weather is wrong?

Is the Kik Plateau in the Agafay desert?

No. The Kik Plateau is high ground south-west of Marrakech towards the High Atlas, and Agafay is a separate stony desert area on the same side of the city. You look across towards the Agafay side from the air; the combination days we sell are two stages in two different places.
