Tandem paragliding over Lake Ohrid with paddleboard session

+43 photos
Picture yourself at the edge of Galicica National Park, gazing down at the crystal-clear waters of Lake Ohrid stretching below — then stepping off the mountain to glide silently above one of Europe's oldest and most stunning lakes.This tandem paragliding flight offers you a bird's-eye view of Ohrid that no other experience can match. You'll soar above the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town, the shimmering lake, and the surrounding mountains of North Macedonia — with an experienced, certified pilot by your side throughout the entire flight.Your adventure begins with hotel pick-up from anywhere in Ohrid. You'll be driven up to the launch site in Galicica National Park (Premium option) or Velestovo (Standard option), where your pilot will provide a full safety briefing before takeoff. Once airborne, your 10 to 20-minute flight (depending on your chosen option) unfolds above the lake — and if conditions allow, you'll even get to take the controls yourself.After landing, the adventure continues with a complimentary 1-hour stand-up paddleboard session at Cuba Libre beach, allowing you to experience Lake Ohrid from both above and on the water in the same day.
