|
|
Asia is filled with paragliding potential, but a few places stand out above the rest. If you're planning your next adventure and want a mix of tropical coastlines, jungle ridges, and high-altitude views, Vietnam and Bali are two countries you can’t overlook. Here are four of the most scenic and beginner-friendly tandem paragliding destinations in Southeast Asia — each linked directly to our full flight guides so you can book with confidence.
1. Paragliding in Nha Trang
On Vietnam’s southern coast, Nha Trang delivers the full beach-town vibe with an added aerial bonus. Flights typically launch from nearby hills at altitudes around 500 meters, giving you a spectacular view of the city, coastline, and the turquoise waters of the South China Sea.
Flying here is calm and beginner-friendly, with great visibility and ocean breezes almost year-round.

2. Paragliding in Da Nang
With launch points on Son Tra Peninsula — also known as Monkey Mountain — Da Nang offers some of the most dramatic scenery in central Vietnam. You’ll soar over jungle-covered slopes, the city skyline, and even pass spiritual landmarks like the Linh Ung Pagoda.
It’s a perfect blend of nature and city, and one of Vietnam’s fastest-growing adventure destinations.

3. Paragliding in Hanoi (Doi Bu)
Just outside the bustle of Hanoi lies Doi Bu, a hilltop flight site favored by local pilots. With green hills, rice fields, and villages below, this is a peaceful alternative to the usual urban chaos. Conditions are ideal for first-timers and seasoned paragliders alike.
It’s one of the best ways to see the countryside without leaving the capital area for long.

4. Paragliding in Bali
Bali’s paragliding scene is all about the cliffs. Most launches happen near Timbis Beach and Uluwatu, where massive limestone cliffs rise above the sea. Pilots catch consistent sea breezes and fly long stretches of the coastline, often right over the beach and past hidden coves and temples.
The conditions are excellent for smooth tandem flights, and the views are nothing short of epic.
