Paragliding over the Great Ocean Road is a breathtaking adventure that offers a fresh perspective on one of Australia’s most iconic coastal drives. Operating from Jan Juc, Victoria, Great Ocean Road Paragliding invites adventurers aged 10 and older to experience the freedom and exhilaration of tandem flights soaring above the rugged coastline, verdant cliffs, and sweeping beaches that define this unique region.
This 20 to 25-minute flight pairs you with a highly skilled and certified pilot who steers you through the skies, requiring no previous flying experience. Whether you launch from Torquay’s famous surf beaches or the more secluded cliffs near Apollo Bay and Aireys Inlet, each takeoff site unveils distinct geological formations—ancient sandstone cliffs, rolling dunes, and native eucalyptus forests. The area’s temperate maritime climate gives you favorable soaring conditions most of the year, with spectacular views that stretch to the Twelve Apostles limestone stacks further west.
