Biplace Ultralight Flight in the Empordà

Context The ultralight flight in the Empordà offers a unique aerial view of a region where sea, mountains, and protected natural spaces converge. Departing from Viladamat or L'Estartit, the flight traverses the rugged coastline of the Costa Brava and the Medas Islands, maintaining an altitude that allows for close observation of the natural features within the Cap de Creus Natural Park. The salty scent of the Mediterranean drifts in on the breeze as the quiet engine hums gently beneath the sky. ">The experience** After a 15-minute pre-flight briefing, you’ll receive basic instructions for flying a biplace ultralight such as the Dynali or Pipistrel. For approximately 45 minutes, you’ll pilot the aircraft under direct supervision, managing both takeoff and landing. You’ll soar above coastal towns like Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with the sea and dramatic rock formations stretching beneath you, feeling the wind, sunlight on your face, and the pure sense of freedom. ">For whom** This activity is suitable for participants aged 16 and over, with good coordination and the ability to follow instructions. Ideal for aviation enthusiasts and tourists seeking an active, visually immersive experience. Not recommended for individuals with acrophobia or medical conditions that restrict moderate physical activity. ">Local context** The Empordà is a region with deep-rooted rural and maritime traditions, where local communities continue time-honored practices such as fishing and viticulture, including the DO Empordà wine region. From the air, the harmony between natural landscapes and small coastal towns becomes evident—each preserving its distinct Mediterranean identity and cultural heritage.
