Leave Marrakech for a tandem paragliding flight above the Kik Plateau, with hotel pickup, a tea welcome and an expert pilot flying a two-seater wing over limestone hills toward Toubkal views.
After pickup you transfer toward Aguergour, then continue by 4x4 to the high takeoff point. A mint tea welcome and safety briefing settle the group before you kit up with your pilot for a tandem flight over rivers, vegetation and limestone terrain with High Atlas views on clear days.
Flights depend on wind and thermal conditions, so timing can shift slightly while the team waits for a safe window. Full step-by-step detail sits in the itinerary below, including the comfortable return to Marrakech.
The Kik Plateau is a favourite day-trip landscape west of the Toubkal massif, known for open limestone country, wild vegetation and wide mountain horizons. It sits within reach of Marrakech yet feels far from medina streets once you leave the main road.
Takeoff points sit high enough for a memorable glide without needing a multi-day trek. On clear days Jebel Toubkal and neighbouring ridges frame the flight path.
No prior paragliding experience is required because this is a tandem flight with an expert pilot. You should be comfortable with heights, a short run or assisted launch as briefed, and wearing a harness.
Wear warm layers and sport shoes. Share weight, medical or mobility concerns before you travel so the team can confirm whether the flight is suitable.
Hotel pickup, a clear briefing and tandem pilots keep the focus on the view rather than learning to fly solo. Small groups make the plateau day feel personal from tea stop to landing.
Weather calls stay cautious, so you are not pushed into unsafe air just to keep a schedule. Support continues through the return transfer to your Marrakech stay.
Your outing begins with hotel or guest house pickup in Marrakech and a transfer toward Aguergour in an air-conditioned vehicle. City streets give way to open countryside as you approach the plateau approaches.
On arrival you switch to a 4x4 for the climb to the high takeoff point. Keep a warm layer handy because altitude and wind can feel cooler than the city.
At the takeoff area you meet the pilot team for mint tea and a clear briefing on harness, launch and landing. Questions are welcome before anyone commits to the wing.
Kit is checked and fitted carefully. The atmosphere stays friendly while remaining focused on a safe takeoff when the wind window opens.
You launch with an expert pilot on a two-seater paraglider for roughly twenty-five minutes above limestone hills, vegetation and river lines, with High Atlas views when the air is clear.
The pilot manages the wing while you settle into the harness and take in the panorama. Exact flight path depends on wind and conditions on the day.
Before or after your flight there is time to appreciate the plateau setting and Toubkal skyline. When everyone is down safely you transfer back toward Marrakech.
Drop-off is at the nearest accessible point to your hotel or guest house. Reflect on the flight during the comfortable road return.
You will be picked up from your hotel or guest house in Marrakech and transferred toward Aguergour for the Kik Plateau takeoff area. Medina riads may need a nearby meet point if vehicles cannot reach the door.
Exact pickup timing is confirmed ahead of your flight. After landing you return by road to the nearest accessible point to your accommodation.
Yes. You fly in a two-seater paraglider with an expert pilot who controls the wing. You do not need a licence or prior airtime.
The briefing covers harness fitting, launch steps and landing posture so first-timers know what to expect before leaving the ground.
Air time is typically around twenty-five minutes, depending on wind and conditions on the day. Allow extra time for hotel pickup, the 4x4 ascent, tea and briefing.
Door-to-door timing varies with traffic and how long the team waits for a safe launch window on the plateau.
Guests from eight years old may join when the booking and harness setup suit the group. Share exact ages when you enquire.
Weight limits and fitness also matter for tandem flights. The team confirms whether everyone in your party can fly safely.
Paragliding needs suitable wind and visibility. Flights may be delayed, rescheduled or cancelled when conditions are unsafe.
The team will be in touch as soon as decisions are clear. Bring warm layers even on sunny days because the plateau can feel cool in the wind.
No. The pilot flies the wing and the ground team run a clear safety briefing. Your job is to listen, run or move as directed at launch, and enjoy the view.
If you are nervous about heights, say so early so the pilot can talk you through each step calmly.
Wear warm sport clothing and closed shoes with good grip for takeoff. Sunglasses help in bright mountain light, and a light layer for wind is useful even in summer.
Avoid loose scarves or items that could catch in lines. Secure phones only when the pilot says it is safe.
Pickup is from your hotel or guest house in Marrakech, followed by a road transfer toward Aguergour and a 4x4 climb to the takeoff point.
Drop-off returns you to the nearest accessible point to your stay after the flight. Confirm your address details when you book.
Departures are kept small, typically up to five guests, so briefing and flights stay organised on the plateau.
Solo travellers can often join. Ask about availability on your preferred date if you are travelling alone.
Launch windows depend on wind and thermals more than a fixed clock time. The team aims for the safest period on your booked day.
Pickup timing is confirmed once conditions and logistics are clear. Flexibility helps if the plateau needs a short wait.
Travel insurance is not included and is strongly recommended for aerial sports, covering medical care and trip disruption away from home.
Check that your policy covers tandem paragliding. The team can answer practical questions but cannot provide insurance advice.
About the centre
Marrakech
Based in Marrakech, this adventure team designs days that move easily between the medina fringe, the Palm Oasis, the stone hills of Agafay and the High Atlas. Hotel and guest-house pickup keeps logistics simple, so guests can focus on the trail, the dunes or the sky rather than arranging transfers.
Experiences range from short quad and buggy sessions to multi-day mountain treks, balloon flights, paragliding, jet skiing and coastal surfing further afield. Local guides brief every group carefully, include the kit you need for the activity, and welcome travellers from age eight when accompanied by an adult, with group sizes kept personal enough to stay safe and enjoyable.
