The meeting place is at our offices. Meet us at Highland Cafe, in BigC Thang Long, Ha Noi .

We will ride together to the take-off site with our shuttle bus, a journey of about 50 minutes.

After your flight, we land at the official landing site in Doi Bu and drive you back to Center so you can check out your amazing photos!

You are coming from center Hanoi? Our Useful information page will give you all the details to come easily to our offices.

“I have a flight booked but I would like to meet you at the take-off, is that possible?”: You may meet us directly on take-off, in this case you will need to contact our team to let them know and discuss the practical conditions with them.

We are a weather-dependent activity. It’s in fact the main contigency of our industry.

A paragliding wing flies poorly when it is wet which could be dangerous if flown for too long. We don’t go flying if it rains or if rain is on the forecast.

The paraglider acts as a massive wing under the wind. As such, for the key step of taking-off to happen safely, we need the wind to blow in the right direction and not too strongly.

These are some of the reasons that sometimes force us to cancel flights. Thankfully, this can be quite rare thanks to the ideal location of the lake and the take-off sites around Hanoi.

We will keep you updated about the weather conditions for your flight and we can suggest a new date to reschedule if the weather is unfavourable.

Yes, unfortunately, this is the main joker card in paragliding. A paraglider doesn’t fly well when wet, which is why rain or a strong chance of rain means we don’t fly. Clouds however are not a problem. In fact, white fluffy clouds are a sign of an excellent day for paragliding as they indicate the presence of thermals that allow us to stay afloat longer!

If the wind is too strong or not from the right direction, taking off can also prove difficult, another cause of no-flying days.

At BLVN, we always re-confirm tandem flights the evening before the planned date. Paragliding is a weather-dependent sport but rest assured, that if you can’t fly on your booking date, we will reschedule at the most convenient time for you.

In practice: Our pilots do a daily weather evaluation, in the morning before the flights, and our team keeps you informed of their decision.

• No news means good news: we’re flying! If we don’t call or message you, you can come to BLVN as scheduled, that is to say 15 min before your booking time.
• If our team contacts you, this means there may be some changes to the day. We will keep you informed of the weather conditions for your flight and we will suggest alternatives in case the weather is not good.

We are always welcome, you just pay the bus fare

Nothing to worry about, there is no such thing as vertigo in paragliding. It all has to do with the inner ear and the fact that your feet are not on the ground when you fly (of course!). Most people that typically suffers from vertigo have no problem doing a tandem flight.

Tandem flights average 15-20 minutes. Depending on the weather, flights may be extended and we do not charge extra.

We recommend that you book 12 hours in advance to be well received. This is a limited capacity service, and weekends and holidays can be overcrowded.
