Choosing Timbis Beach in Uluwatu was absolutely the right decision! Not only is it Bali’s most famous paragliding spot, but the professional instructor team and comprehensive safety measures made me feel completely at ease for my first experience.
However, preparing for my first paragliding challenge still made me super nervous. After all, we were taking off from the edge of a cliff. But after the actual experience, I found that—it really wasn’t as scary as I imagined, and the scenery was so beautiful that it made me forget my fears!
🚁 Paragliding Experience Process

-
- The instructor helped me put on internationally certified safety harnesses and helmets, including a GoPro for recording the entire flight.

- No running required! The instructor led me to the slope at the cliff edge, adjusted the parachute lines, and with a gentle push when the wind came, we were instantly airborne!
- 10 Minutes in the Air, Enjoying the Breathtaking Ocean Views
-
- The instructor controlled the direction, and all I had to do was enjoy the scenery and take photos!

🌟 Experience: Safer and More Fun Than Expected!
I thought it would be terrifying, but it was incredibly stable, like floating gently in the air. The instructor was really nice and even pointed out the scenery in English. The most breathtaking part was seeing the Indian Ocean from above—that shade of blue is unforgettable!
If you like thrills, you can ask the instructor for spins; if you’re afraid of heights, a smooth flight is just as amazing. Highly recommended for beginners wanting to try paragliding—it’s not as scary as you might think, and the views are worth it!
Overall, highly recommended! I’d love to do it again the next time I visit Bali. 🪂💙
