The last time I did this was in Cyprus and I was 9…Apparently I was nearly slipping out the harness and my mothers boyfriend had to hold onto me (by the way, I have no idea what company I did it with either!) Well, I’ve grown and filled out a bit since then and really wanted to do it again so mother booked it for a birthday treat for me. It did have to be postponed for a couple of days due to the wind (don’t fancy flying around that much thanks) but eventually the day arrived. We arrived early and they whisked us into to fill out forms straight away. I was going up with my aunty in a double harness not side by side but one at the back and one at the front. We were given a thorough safety briefing by our captain and introduced to the equipment. We had to sit on floor in our harness to be winched up, that was interesting and really not very graceful or dignified trying to get down there 😂 I definitely felt secure in all areas of the harness! Being rolled out backwards and as weird and slightly jerky. Kind of like going backwards on a rollercoaster but not as fast. Soon we were flying through the air as graceful as a spider bird (honestly see below). The wind whipped through my hair as we travelled in the direction of the Argaka coastline. The views were just spectacular. We got dipped in the sea a couple times…eeek cold tootsies. Then we turned and all I could see was the Akamas for miles and miles! The twenty minutes was over far too quickly and soon we were being winched back down. This time we had to kind of start walking to get back on the boat. Bizarre walking in air until your feet hit the boat!
I would definitely recommend this as an activity for adults and kids. It gives a different view and perspective of the area as well as giving you the feeling of flight without an aircraft!
