You step out of the car at Ghosta, 750 meters above the Mediterranean, and the wind already has ideas. The pilot fits the harness, runs a quick check, and the hillside opens beneath you — terraced pine slopes giving way to the blue sweep of Jounieh Bay. For the next 12–15 minutes the city, the cable car to Harissa and the coastline unfold below; the sea seems to push you forward while the wind cradles the wing.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step out of the car at Ghosta, 750 meters above the Mediterranean, and the wind already has ideas. The pilot fits the harness, runs a quick check, and the hillside opens beneath you — terraced pine slopes giving way to the blue sweep of Jounieh Bay. For the next 12–15 minutes the city, the cable car to Harissa and the coastline unfold below; the sea seems to push you forward while the wind cradles the wing.
The ride threads modern Lebanon with older layers: fishing boats still work the bay where Phoenician mariners once sailed, and the hilltop basilica at Harissa—visible from the air—anchors contemporary pilgrimage culture. Geologically, the coast is limestone folded into steep terraces; thermals form over sun-warmed slopes and the pilots know how to use them to stretch a flight or smooth a glide.
Ufly’s tandem flights are filmed with a GoPro, and pilots certified to FFP/BHPA standards steer both calm scenic flights and adrenaline-forward maneuvers on request. Expect clear commentary in English, French or Arabic and a short drive back to the office for landing.
Practical guidance: wear sturdy shoes for a short run at takeoff, layer for a cool wind at altitude, and bring a charged phone for the flight clip. Pregnant travelers and people with serious heart problems should not fly. Plan mornings or late afternoons for more stable winds and softer light; operators will reschedule in unstable weather. The whole experience — meeting, transfer, flight, media transfer — takes roughly 1–2 hours.
In the air you’ll typically be flying 12–15 minutes; the whole visit including transfers and briefing takes about 1–2 hours.
Operators require passenger weights for safety—limits vary but typically restrict heavier passengers; disclose your weight at booking so the operator can confirm eligibility.
Yes — flights are recorded with GoPro cameras and the footage is transferred to your mobile or provided after landing.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious heart or back conditions; consult your doctor and the operator before booking.
