Destination Story & Highlights
Soar Above the Southern Ocean Waves
A premier paragliding launch point perched on a hilltop directly above Pantai Parangtritis, offering breathtaking tandem flights and panoramic views of the vast southern ocean coastline.
"The hill of Watugupit has been used as a paragliding site since the early 2000s. Local pilots discovered that the unique coastal wind patterns here, created by the meeting of the Indian Ocean breeze and warm air rising from the black volcanic sands, create nearly perfect thermals for extended flights along the southern cliffs."
