⚠️ WARNING FOR SOLO FEMALE TRAVELLERS – SERIOUS SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT
I am writing this review because I believe potential customers, particularly young women travelling alone, should be aware of my experience with this company. I am 19 years old and travelled specifically from Ljubljana to Lake Bled to undertake a tandem hang-gliding flight. I paid €145 for the experience, including the photographs, and approximately €15 in additional bus travel specifically to get to Lake Bled for the activity. I had been genuinely looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, the conduct of my instructor, left me feeling extremely uncomfortable, vulnerable and genuinely afraid for my safety. What happened: Sexually suggestive comments about me being 'legal', unnecessary touching/grabbing of my arm (right before saying “It’s only us now" and “We are alone.” with a sexual tone) & more comments on men being attracted to younger girls. These did not feel like isolated awkward jokes. To me, they formed a pattern of sexually suggestive comments and behaviour while I was in an exceptionally vulnerable position. What happened afterwards: The experience I paid for was completely ruined. What should have been an exciting and memorable experience instead left me feeling threatened, uncomfortable and frightened. I subsequently submitted a formal complaint to the company, explaining what had happened. I have received no response to my complaint. I am particularly concerned about the possibility that other young or vulnerable customers may have experienced similar behaviour but did not feel able to report it. I am therefore sharing my experience publicly because I do not want another woman to find herself in the same position. I am not making assumptions about anyone else's experience. I am simply documenting what happened to me, what was said to me, how I felt during the flight, and the fact that my formal complaint has so far gone unanswered. If you are considering booking, particularly as a young woman travelling alone, I strongly recommend that you read this account carefully and make your own informed decision.
Response from the operator: Hello, First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to you as the owner of Lake Bled Paragliding. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, and an internal investigation is already underway to identify the pilot involved. If the allegations are confirmed, appropriate action will be taken, including removing the pilot from our team. We work with 15 pilots, all of whom are professionally trained paragliding instructors with decades of experience. While technical paragliding knowledge and experience are essential, inappropriate, offensive, or disrespectful behavior towards a customer is something completely different and is absolutely unacceptable to us. As you mentioned in your review, you apparently submitted some kind of complaint, but unfortunately, I sincerely did not receive it. Please contact me directly. I would also greatly appreciate your help in identifying the pilot who flew with you, so that I can properly investigate the situation. Once again, I sincerely apologize for your experience. Best regards, Klemen Owner Lake Bled Paragliding

Do it!
The pick up and drop off was smooth. The instructor was friendly and serious. It goes against your natural instincts to jump off a cliff but it's amazing! I landed safely on my butt. Just book the tour.

Lake Bled Paragliding
What an amazing experience. We were a group of 5 and we had a brilliant time. Extremely well organised and safe, our original date got cancelled due to bad weather and we managed to reorganise. Klemen was always in communication with us. Some first timers in our group and we felt completely safe and once in the air the views and flight was unreal I’d do it all over again!

What an incredible experience!
What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel welcome, safe, and completely at ease. The instructors were highly professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly, which made the whole flight stress-free. Flying over Lake Bled was simply breathtaking. The views of the lake, the island, the castle, and the surrounding mountains are unforgettable. It was the perfect balance of excitement and peacefulness. A special thank you to the entire team for their positive attitude and professionalism. They truly made this a highlight of our trip to Slovenia. If you’re visiting Lake Bled and considering paragliding, don’t hesitate—this is an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bled.
How much does Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding cost?
+
Prices start at $148 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bled usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bled is not rushed.
Is Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bled, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bled can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bled and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bled within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bled?
+
On Outty we rank every Bled experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bled: Triglav National Park Adventure - Soča Valley Day Tour, From Bled/Ljubljana: Triglav National Park & Soča Valley Tour, Canyoning Bled Slovenia. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bled?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bled?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; and Paragliding equipment (harness and helmet). Not included: Photos and videos. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Bled. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Lake Bled Tandem Paragliding if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
