The usual meeting point is Gyeongju Station, Exit 1. On some days, if weather conditions are better in a different flying area, staff may instead arrange pickup from Ulsan Station, Exit 1.

After a short orientation your pilot will secure you into a comfortable harness and talk you through the takeoff. A few confident steps are all it takes before you are airborne, gliding above the hills, farmland, and river valleys around the region.

While you enjoy the views your pilot controls the wing and can keep the flight relaxed or add gentle turns if you want something more dynamic. Flight time depends on the course you choose and on the weather on the day, with options from short and sweet to longer flights with more airtime.

GoPro video is included with each course. Your pilot records the flight and transfers the footage to your phone or sends it to you after landing so you can relive and share the experience. Pickup and drop off from the station are included to keep the day simple and convenient.

The flying area is typically near Gyeongju Paragliding Experience Center and Bomunho Lake Tourism Complex, though the exact launch area may vary depending on conditions and daily schedules.
