How tandem flying works
The pilot flies; you are a passenger in a seat harness in front of them. The wing inflates behind you, you take a few steps down the slope, and the harness takes your weight. There is no drop and no freefall.
Getting to the launch
Flying sites are outside Marrakech, so factor in a road transfer. Booking a package with hotel transfer included saves negotiating a return taxi from a hillside.
What to wear
- • Trainers or hiking shoes with grip
- • Long trousers
- • A windproof layer — it is cooler with altitude
- • Sunglasses and sunscreen
Limits you should check first
Every tandem wing has a weight range, and operators set age limits and medical restrictions. Ask before you book, especially about weight — it is the most common reason a booking cannot be honoured on the day.
